MMXI = Year of the X-Men Continues – Colossus Wears Many Hats

Posted on 02/25/11 at 12:30 PM in Articles by Paul Montgomery

…and one of those hats is the Juggernaut's. 

Marvel released this Uncanny X-Men image, the latest promo for MMXI, the year of the X-Men. This choice of headgear may seem superfluous, but then again, Colossus may be warding off some irritating telepathic post-it notes from Emma Frost reminding him to put the toilet seat down. Or to stop bench-pressing her fainting couch. 

UNCANNY X-MEN #540 
Written by KIERON GILLEN 
Penciled by GREG LAND 
Rated T+ …$3.99 

On sale in July!

    Okay now they’re just throwing anything on a dart board and putting it on a teaser.

    Also, Greg Land is still artist on Uncanny huh? Well that’s a dealbreaker to be sure.

    I hoped when Gillen came on they would get some new artists too, oh well.

    I was so looking forward to Gillen…and I’m going to stop right there, I’m tired of hating on Land. It’s like he’s always going to be there. I just want my book back.

    So is Fraction officially off of Uncanny?  Cause if so, I’ll be picking up Uncanny X-Men again.

    F him.  Collossus should’ve stayed dead.  Maybe he’d like some cheese with his whiiiiiiine.

    YES! Colossus! It would be nice if he was the main character of an upcoming arc, or plays a major role in this event.
    Land? I’ll give it the “flip-test” @ my LCS

    I just hope this doesn’t mean Juggernaut is gonna be taken out of Thunderbolts.  Jeff Parker is doing great things with him there.

    Why does his torso look like a cobra? Why are his arms 3x the circumference of his head? Why????

    @TheNextChampion  Seriously! I mean is GregLand supposed to bring me back to X-men? You’d think Marvel would realize people don’t want this.

    This might have been fun to try at $3, but not for $4. Sorry, greedy corporation.

    this collosus is very disproportionate. But i love it!

    maybe they’ll do something with collosus that might make him an even moderately interesting character. 
    He’s so dull

    I haven’t been pleased with Uncanny & Legacy for a while now. Maybe this iwll be a change in the right direction.
