The subtle repeated angles of the costume above the boots! The striping on the legs and arms! The stripe that extends from the "X" on the back to the forehead!<br /><br />To my mind, the changes make them look less like a ragtag bunch of outlaws (half of the original M.O.) and more like a disciplined fighting unit. And if the buccaneer boots and gloves evoke images of Captain America, and by their absence further demonstrate how unique Beast is...well, that's just gravy.Brian Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305624852257701050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16823651.post-7555806406901631222010-05-11T14:13:29.640-04:002010-05-11T14:13:29.640-04:00I love me some Bret Blevins comics...

(and then the 90s started. Uh-oh!). <br /><br />I think I have all nine of those issues and never realised they were three-issue murals (triptychs?!?).<br /><br />As to those X-Factor costumes, weren't they just the same as the old ones only with a different colour scheme?S Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356657498264383431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16823651.post-85833326692803955042010-05-11T03:46:21.521-04:002010-05-11T03:46:21.521-04:00Wow -- I got those "X-Factor" issues dur...Wow -- I got those "X-Factor" issues during the stretch of my life when I was only allowed three comics a month through mail subscriptions, and I <i>still</i> never realized that Ship was a unifying element. Thanks for the visual aids!<br /><br />And seconded on the costumes: The white looks great on Cyclops and makes the yellow visor really stand out, and for some reason I always loved how the stripe on Beast's mask was broken to make a little arrow.Brian Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305624852257701050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16823651.post-60325208761904399712010-05-11T02:20:22.657-04:002010-05-11T02:20:22.657-04:00Love the Monday Night Murals... but need a bigger ...Love the Monday Night Murals... but need a bigger monitor!Rolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02103804480646939038noreply@blogger.com
