![]() No spoilers, but in Lethal Legion #3 there are some scenes where characters are looking through a window with stuff reflected in it, and it looks just utterly wondrous. ![]() ![]() He came up with Wolfsbane’s snazzy outfit in Lethal Legion #1 by himself.Īnd Elisabetta’s inks are another awesomeness multiplier - she does things with shadows and textures that help to bring the story to life in an incredible way. What can you share about this series’ visuals, courtesy of Enid Balám, Elisabetta D’Amico, and Matt Milla?Ĭharlie Jane: I’ve been lucky to work with some of the best comics artists out there in my relatively short stint writing for Marvel, but I’ve still been utterly blown away by Enid Balám’s pencils and Elisabetta D’Amico’s inks - it’s gotten to the point that I perk up whenever I see either of their names in my inbox, because it’s going to be an email containing more brilliant artwork.Įnid’s linework is so clean and distinctive, and he puts so much personality into every panel, it’s incredible - I will spend a lot of time trying to think about how a scene should look in my script, and then Enid always comes up with a way to make it look a hundred times better. New Mutants runs tend to attract some very gifted artists, and it was cool to see the creative team featured so prominently on the first issue’s cover. As Sarah said, trying to be there for someone and having it backfire is the most New Mutants thing ever.ĪIPT: You mentioned Rod Reis. My basic pitch was, “Cerebella is feeling freaked out and traumatized after facing the U-Men again, so Escapade talks her into doing a heist to cheer her up, but it all goes horribly wrong, the way heists tend to do.” Scout inviting herself along on the heist just made it that much more fun, and adding Count Nefaria to the mix took it to the next level. I was heavily inspired by Jonathan Hickman and Rod Reis‘ opening arc on the 2019 series, where the New Mutants go into space, mess with the Starjammers, and rob a Shi’ar outpost. So when I was asked to pitch a mini-series, I told my valiant editor Sarah Brunstad that I wanted to do something a bit sillier. It’s weird how it all gels together, but that’s the unique flavour of Strange Talk.Photo credit: Sarah Deragon/Portraits to the People, courtesy of ĪIPT: Welcome back to X-Men Monday, Charlie Jane! Let’s start with a broad question: What’s your elevator pitch for New Mutants: Lethal Legion?Ĭharlie Jane: Backing up slightly… New Mutants #31-33 had gone to a pretty dark place, because I was dealing with the U-Men, and especially Martha Johansson’s first encounter with John Sublime since she got herself a new body. It’s odd: you’ve got a classically trained violinist, a dance producer with a DJ background, and two funk/soul musicians. ![]() Frontman Stephen Docker explains, “It was a long journey making this record – we really challenged ourselves. The release of the album follows the success of new singles “Cast Away” and “Falling In Love”, both of which have thrust the band back into the spotlight. Their official remix of Foster the People's "I Would Do Anything For You" claimed the #1 spot on Hype Machine.ĬAST AWAY is 11 tracks of indie-meets-electro pop packed full of shimmering synths and pop beats, and set to be a summer playlist favourite. CAST AWAY follows up on the international buzz brought on by the band’s 2011 self-titled EP which saw “Climbing Walls” hit the #1 spot on Billboard’s Uncharted chart and reached over 680K views on YouTube. Australian electro-pop four piece, Strange Talk, are set to release their highly anticipated debut album CAST AWAY on February 8, 2013, through Sony Music Entertainment Australia.
