Hey, if you're open to the idea of a Wolverine manga in the first place, it's hard not to like this reimagining of the character.

Wolverine heavy "Vincent."

Tamara -- Wolverine's love interest...
?

Kitty Pryde, the protagonist of the X-Men title... it's almost as if the original character were created for a shojo audience, don't you think?

I like the note about the cold, expressionless eyes for Bobby Drake, but I'm sure some folks will complain that someone forgot to put the "man" in Ice Man. Nightcrawler looks like he'll be an interesting character although visually he seems kinda... normal. Maybe that's the point of this version -- we'll have to wait and see.

...and of course I was saving the "Beast for last."

What, they didn't hire Watsuki for the Xmen manga character designs? *snicker* Seriously, I like Wolverine's design (though he looks a bit young), and Nightcrawler's, but Beast is just ... bleh.

Oh Gosh, poor Beast! (yes, I'm laughing, but gosh, he went from gorilla to what was it.... a mix of Doraemon and Totoro!)
I'm ok I suppose, with Wolverine's design(as long as he has his sideburns), but completely in love with Nightcrawlers. I really wish I could stop staring at it. I might have to make the image my background.....
Anyways, I wonder when the manga is up for pre-order....
