Why David Tran Should be penciling Uncanny!!!

Posted by JonesDeini (3593 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago - Show Bio

Because if Logan/Pete can be all over the place, why not?!

Seriously he can make Maggot, yes Maggot look awesome!

Better than any Jubilee redesign in years, and the hoodie/shades are a nice nod to her classic look

Deadpool? AoX Ben Riley? Me no know, but me likey!

This should seriously be Mags new helmet

Seriously frak a Greg Land, Pacheco's solid and can look good with proper inking/coloring. but this dude? I love what this guy's doing! He needs a job illustrating something I love as much and is as important as Uncanny X-Men!

The Shatterstar look is nice but his current is already good anyways. But everything else is awesome.

I swear I read that name during AoX Avengers or something! I remember Redback being an Assassin.

@MatKrenz:

Yeah, the current design for him works well.

Cyclops, Storm, Luke Cage, Cannonball, Jubilee, Maggot, Shatterstar & Juggernaut, what a freaking AWESOME lineup there XD

....still not following who this this Redback character is. Seems that's what Spider Woman went by in AoX....don't see why Deapool would need a new name.

Word, THIS is the kind of work that Axel Alonso should've been lobbying to get for Uncanny

He even made Maggot look good. THAT IS saying something.

Although, I don't care for his version of Storm... And, yes his Shatterstar looks great but... Don't you think he looks like Logan jr.?

HAHAHA, I love how he had Luke Cage in an X-costume. I like Jubilee, and Cannonball finally has a better costume.

@Timandm:

I could do without Storm's moth like cape. And Shatterstar looks a bit like Solid Snake to me.

I liked until I saw the Shatterstar one.

#12 Posted by JonesDeini (3593 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago - Show Bio

@jordama:

Didn't like that one or the ones after?

#13 Posted by jordama (4223 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago - Show Bio

@JonesDeini: I liked the image of Shatterstar, but not for Shatterstar. The rest were great for each case

#14 Posted by JonesDeini (3593 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago - Show Bio

@jordama:

Ah I dig, folk. I'd like it more without the Stryder like scarf thingy he's rockin'. SS' current design is dope though, so he really doesn't need a retouch. I like that his work captures the better elements of Quitely's "uniform" look, while leaving room for individual character expression.

Nice.

Very nice art. I'd read a book with these members and those looks.

#18 Edited by Mega_spidey01 (2131 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago - Show Bio

I'm the total opposite. Don't care how amazing a book looks, if the writing ain't up to snuff I'm out. Balance in both is what will keep me reading as a die hard though.

juggernaut needs work, I thought it was avalanche. Shatterstar looks totally off as well somethng like sora crossed with a nintendo soldier.

The rest look good though

Word? When'd he come back?

I like a lot of these, though some seem pretty standard x-uniforms. But wait! That might be a good thing. I like it when the X-teams have themed uniforms and not just whatever the hell they want to wear.

Jubilee and Maggot. design . . . . . . . speachless.

I really love them, but the one of Shatterstar doesn't even look like him.. lol

#31 Posted by XsPectre28 (359 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago - Show Bio

love the designs, this could be a new x-men team or even an Avengers sect of x-men.... now that i think of it thats ware some of the x-men that didnt make the new line up can go

#32 Posted by Selina_Sublime (39 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago - Show Bio

I like him (especially his Juggernaut) but it needs a little more oomph and color.

Some of these designs are a little to reminiscent of early 2000's X-Men movie designs.

These are awesome designs and would make for an awesome team too!

X-Men
