Leah William and David Baldeón on X-Factor 2020

[jmc247]

welp I think mojoverse is the first arc loll..but considering the five are in all these early promo images I feel like they'll have a concurrent story maybe? either way frankly I think this book is gonna be fine early days, the hype'll float it over any troubled economic waters

I thought the first storyline was the introduction to team? Though you might be right that the first full team mission could be in the Mojo land.

Regardless promotion and good word of mouth for the start can buy a little time, but if x-fans designate the title elective reading as in fun, but not relevant to the happenings of the rest of their pull list its a big problem. If a title comes into a recession strong it can survive. PAD's X-Factor Investigations lost about a third of its sales in the year after the '08 economic crisis, but once the bleeding stopped the fan base held on pretty firmly.

No one knows the level of market damage for this downturn, but the point stands I think many readers will give it a couple issues to determine if its good and relevant enough to keep on their pull lists. Though I suspect when the title does come out many may still be under lockdown or afraid to venture out for elective pursuits and that is where strong word of mouth and buzzing online will be important.

I will also say controversy was a big plus to House of X and some other titles. If the title gets fans online strongly debating topics it will help the title vs fans viewing the title as escapist fair and wacky hijinks. Even if the title is not closely tied to the main titles if it gets readers debating big time as Hickman did that is a big plus.

And he remembered to make their hair oh so shiny.


Love his art.

[Fokken]

That brings up a topic I'm very passionate about: HAIR

WHAT
IS
Their hair color supposed to be?


Also, do folks know what Luciano is charging because I am TEMPTED.

Their hair color is black

Black, but it's supposed to be an extra reflective kind of black. Or something like that. It's a shiny black hair.

Yeah it seems, depending on the artist, Northstar has a metallic quality to his hair.
But I've really only ever noticed that shared quality when Auror's got short hair.

She's just more commonly (or at least from my experiences) depicted with jet black hair.

I'm not a fan of Vecchio's style but I will admit he captured their Elven characteristics very well.
That said, I'm not sure how I feel about Aurora's cape. I love it because it's so different from other capes but in my design-space I don't quite see Aurora wearing one...it almost looks and feels out of place for her character.

Edit: her face there reminds me of my Bollywood Goddess Priyanka Chopra...especially her lips.

It’s the Pert Plus Shampoo that gives their hair it’s shine.

Getting Zuko and Azula vibes from this.

[Devaishwarya]

The design around her waist puts me in mind of her Yellow costume and I'm thinking a black and white iteration of that costume with these boots would be exquisite.
