We’ve hemmed and hawed a bit. Some of us didn’t think you’d be ready for this jelly. Just too mutilicious. Too damn mutilicious. But we can’t coddle you forever.
Havok is coming back. And he’s got a team of phantom blots too.
Oh. Also. No shoes, no shirt, no irises. X-MAN on deck.
I can’t help it, I just do not like X-Factor. I don’t like the characters, and it’s the only x-book I don’t read. I’ve been told repeatedly that it’s great, and I give it a try and hate it. Lather, rinse, repeat. Still hate it. Does this mean a new line-up with Havoc?! That would be something I’d be interested in…
Does Havok being in the image mean he’ll be featured in the new lineup? Safe bet, sure.
But will it be Havoc with Avalanche, 80s guy with the bad hair, and the painful to look at Guido? Or will be be Havoc with the awesome crew from Starjammers in Marvel Cosmic, with Rachel and Polaris?
Oh I guess i meant Rictor
Polaris seems like the obvious choice in the back of X-Factor.
Hmmm…I thought that at first too, but I think it looks more like Siryn.
Looks like Guido, Rahne and Siryn are the only obvious ones on X-Factor. Maybe Rictor in the front and the weird sideways leg could be Shatterstar
New Mutants looks like Sunspot and Cannonball are obvious with maybe Warlock in the front. Dani and Karma as the other two?
I’m hoping its Groot. I like Warlock but Groot is Groot.
So they are gonna use havoc good
Never have I read an iFanboy article that inspired such ecstasy in me, and at the same time, such dread.
The ecstasy:
YOU’RE GODDAMN MUTHAFUCKIN RIGHT NATE GREY IS LEADING THE NEW MUTANTS!!!!
And as an X-Factor fan from the days when PAD first started writing the series, I’m super stoked to see Havok back.
The dread:
…Where the hell is Jamie Madrox’s silhouette? No seriously…I’m not playing around here. If Madrox is the one who’s dying, you’ll need an aqueduct to contain the tears I will cry.
Agreed! Madrox IS X-Factor!
My bet is that Madrox is the member of X-Factor to die in #227.
So they are gonna use havoc
OMG you guys are killing me with this “Havoc” business… IT’S HAVOK!!!
seriously
I just wish Nate Grey would do a sit-up every once in a while. It’s embarrassing.
Hahahahaahahaha
I’m curious about what appear to be speed lines around his waist band. Are those pants on the way on or off?
Nate just has a ridiculous pelvic V that transcends all other pelvic V’s. He’s the man that you, I, and everyone else in the world wants to be.
And he KNOWS it. Otherwise he’d put a shirt on every now and then.
You know that physique just has to be a psychic projection and Nate’s really a chubby shlub.
@praxjavin
Isn’t there some character in comics who was an ugly woman, but she was a telepath and made everyone see her as a beautiful woman? I seem to remember reading that story….
Ok, y’know what? Maybe these are the X-Books I should be getting. Creators I like, characters I’ve missed… yeah, I think this is where my X-Dollar shall be invested post-Schism.
Fuck yes, Havok.
Havok looks like Tyler from Locke And Key
Havok back on X-Factor? SWOON! X-Men Regenesis is actually looking like it might be worth looking into beyond the titles I get.
Nate Grey with a prominent role in New Mutants is also major swoonage. Now, let’s get Bishop back and un-crazy him and I will be a happy X-Fan!
I agree on the Bishop. I think what they did to him in Cable was mistake. In Messiah Complex he was sympathetic, but in Cable he just seemed out of character.
I have total and complete faith in PAD but Im a little skeptical about how Havok fits in with the noir feel of x-factor.
We’re getting a regular artist on X-Factor? Hurray!
I can’t tell if its the colorist or the artist, but it seems X-Factor is pegging for a JR jr look. Which mean’s I’ll probably avoid it.
That promo image above is by Nick Bradshaw — he’ll be alternating arcs with Bachalo on Wolverine and the X-Men. I don’t know what Emanuela Lupaccino’s art looks like.
She’s been drawing x-factor for a while, she has a nice clean (yet busty) traditional modern superhero style.

She’s great
a duster and no shirt, nice
I loved the way Peter David wrote Havok in the 90s, but where is Multiple Man?????
Hmm… wonder if the tone of X-Factor is going to change with the Regenesis. Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think it’s been selling like gangbusters. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the title become a bit more of a traditional super book.
It looks like Peter David meant the reveal in this teaser to be a surprise: http://www.peterdavid.net/index.php/2011/08/24/cry-havok/
Alas. The Biz strikes again.
