    .... so what's his history with Nightmare, or Sleepwalker? I guess we'll eventually find out... or not?
    I'm not super-into the trend of retconned "forgotten" new characters, but hopefully he'll turn out to be interesting.

    Looks great!
    Is there a who’s who for the characters on the cover? I recognize about half of them.

    Because that kind of introduction for brand new characters has such a good track record of making them relevant, interesting or giving them any staying power. *sarcasm*

    They didn't even stop making new mutants when the EIC decided that there were far too many mutant characters and ordered a story in which Wanda destroyed every mutants X-gene except for (officialy) 198.

    The irony in that kind of reaction is that judging by recent history, this character has a high probability of just joining these pre-existing characters in that fate quickly anyway.

    At least he wasn’t introduced with a new “class” of mutant characters. That’s a ticket straight to wallpaper.

    This doesn't feel quite as much like that to me, since there's no indication he'll be retconned into modern comics history and not say, Daken's mostly unseen past.

    I think I remember Orlando saying he liked the idea of writing a story about Graymalkin for a lot of reasons that sound like he is going to explore with this character instead.
    Would love to see Graymalkin explored more. Wonder if he'll be part of this?

    Maybe he is from arrako and is one of the mysterious night council members. Will like him to be from that island.

    I hope not I want the arrako mutants to not just look like normal humans. They should have a more distinct look since they developed in a demon realm for thousands of years.

    Yh that is true but he may also be older than before the time they went into amneth, I think he might be a member of the great ring.

    I love new characters. But I don't necessarily need all characters to be the protagonists in a comic book. Some of my Marvel's favourite characters are part of the support cast, actually.

    Not saying it should be the case for this one in particular. It really depends on their personality and how the writers will develop them.

    I'm just saying not having space for all the characters to be protagonists shouldn't be a problem. The problem is that they are created to be protagonists and then writers forget they exist when they’re not.

    lol fair enough. I think I have difficulties to accept those ancient uberpowerful beings from another dimension in the category of "mutant".

    Is that Mystique holding up her dead "wifes" mask? She is definitely not all there. "Maybe she can see this if I hold up her mask."
