Oh, I wasn’t sure I was going to get this. But Mike Carey writing the Beast could be fun.
Looks like fun to me.
Not too many Beast fans out there? I guess the Origins line HASNT been thaaaat great. But still, it’s Hank!
Beast’s origin is so Silver Age/Early Space Race in America centered I’m really interested in how they update it for a contemporary audience. If I remember right Beast’s parents worked at or were around a Nuclear Bomb going off or something making Hank born with ginormous feet and hands: wonder it that’ll stick.
I’ve been a Beast fan since forever, so I’m gonna give this a shot.
There really is no exploration into Hanks early years before he joined the X-Men, so I’m looking forward to finding out what went on. Also, I’ve been really enjoying the Origins series so far, especially that Colossus issue.
I just took a look at the preview & i’m really digging the photo realistic art. I’ll def pick this one up. Does Woodward always use this artistic style?

The Jean Grey issue was beautiful to look at. I might flippy through this one and see if I need it.
This was pretty, and for the Hank fans I know it’s a must-buy, I’m guessing? It was solid. Not amazing, but solid.
I love Beast! Picked up the book, flipped through it…put it back on the shelf. I’m still sad that the Colossus one left me so cold. I’m usually a guy that buys every X-book out there, but this week, I realized: enough is enough.
The painted art in this was beautiful. The characteristization of Hank was spot-on and it did reveal a bit more of his life before the X-men and in a way reminded me of Smallville in how he’s just trying very hard to be purposefully average in a small town so he doesn’t stand out. I do wonder though about some of this stuff and if it was always part of his origin, or if it’s new.
