I don't think we will see them as members of the Mutanimals, but perhaps they will be incorporated as a "form" for another member of the Pantheon family...

Now this is more like it. There's some interesting ideas in here, and I'm quite liking the interaction between characters, which is the books strongest point, at this juncture.

I'm actually not sure what to make of a female, red-skinned Null. It feels somewhat out of step with the character as originally written, where he was a pair of horns away from looking just like the people who were actually selling the world in real life, which was one the draws of the original character, to me. Then again, since that's not the message this book is looking for, so whatevs: yay more female characters!

I don't see her

Archie Null would be so pissed about his IDW counterpart being female.

So when do we see her chomping down on a cigar?

Mutanimals #1 I think she had a cigar.

"Another weakness of humans, getting lung cancer. I can smoke these all day."

Boy, that Lindsey scene really was the job interview from hell, wasn't it? *dodges brick*

*neatoman* · 03-26-2015, 03:22 PM

So now I have to ask, did Bates draw Ray signifigantly shorter than Kuhn did, or just hunched over?

Is that supposed to be Ninjara between Ray Filet and Pigeon Pete?

It's hard to tell in silhouette but I interpret it as Ray being on a knee or maybe lunging forward.

Oh, It's Sally between Ray Filet and Pigeon Pete, Its just the silhouette makes her look different.

Damn that Seymour is TERRIFYING!

I have my reservations about this Sally character, personally I was hoping to see Wingnut & Screwloose return.

I love the fact that we now have a Lioness mutant.

I suppose if you ever fight the Foot you could have them be an answer to Bebop and Rocksteady, that is, 'smart bruisers' but i don't know that the fight needs another hitter per se.

Actually, what the team "needs" in super hero terms is a flyer. You know, because Pete doesn't exactly count. You know Ray is going to show down with Bludgeon at some point, who's going to go toe to toe with Koya?

Not that Pete meeting Koya wouldn't be great.

Wingnut & Screwloose = problem solved

Well I guess I got my answer, funny how Kuhn drew Ray as somewhat taller than Sally and Bates made him way shorter.

Still, fantastic cover! I love how Seymour looks, it's genuinely frightening as opposed to the goofier Mutagen Man designs we've always seen before.

*CyberCubed* · 03-26-2015, 05:54 PM

Ben Bates Mutagen Man is fantastic.

I loved this issue..and that cover with all of them on it looks fantastic

*Ninjinister* · 03-26-2015, 07:48 PM

Oh good. I was afraid they were all facing down Seymour and he had flipped to the other side.
