From Rob Liefeld's blog:
"...I was given an inventory story written by Howard Mackie featuring X-Factor and the New Mutants. This is well before I would introduce Cable or Deadpool in New Mutants, this was the pre-Cable cast of characters. The idea was that it could be scheduled a either an X-Factor or a New Mutants fill-in story. The focus of the issue is heavily trained on the character of Warlock and his fascination with a character named Madcap. I drew it and presumably, shortly after taking over the regular New Mutants title, the book went in such a different direction that this book was viewed as obsolete."
Say what you want about Liefeld, but this pages look neat. Back then he put much more effort than later, though
ReplyDeleteAnd another thing: would it kill marvel, if they finally published this stuff (along with others) as some annual, or something in vein of "X-men untold stories"?
ReplyDeleteI just don't get the mentality of the big two sometimes.
(Especially that the 50th anniversary is coming...)
