Astonishing X-Men #26 Preview
Marvel.com provided CBR with an advanced look of Astonishing X-Men #26. Wherein, Emma acts like one of those girls who grows up in the hood and talks with attitude. This preview also features a terrible chin shot of the ghetto-ized Emma! :O

The superstar team of Warren Ellis and Simone Bianchi take the X-Men to the “Second Stage!”
“Messiah Complex” pulled the X-Men team together, “Divided We Stand” tore them apart. Now the X-Men are back to business — with a new look, a new base of operations, and a mystery to solve that will take them into previously uncharted territory and test them to their core. It all starts on a spaceship hovering 300 hundred feet above the twisted wreckage of Chaparanga Beach. Its sole inhabitant: the mysterious Subject X. Five minutes — just five minutes is all he needs, all he’s asking for.
Can the X-Men afford to give it to him?

Lord above… it’s the Bride of Chucky.
Oh my god, you’re right.
She looks hideous in this picture.
And her dialogue is terrible.
This worries me.
That one picture is a bit off but the rest are great.
I see nothing wrong with the dialog either.
It is just me Whedon worshipping but it doesn’t sound like the Emma i know from AXM.
I suppose i should cut Ellis some slack and give him more time to flesh out this arc before i condemn it.
A question. Since I am not an American I have no idea how a “hood girl” is supposed to talk.
Do they explicitly number their paragraphs or is it something else?
It cannot be the pronunciation at least :)
@NB - I have to disagree. I don’t find the art appealing in the slightest. Ororo’s left eye is completely out of place in her page 2 close-up. Their noses are about as big as a capuchin’s, and I really don’t appreciate that they all look like drag queens. Different strokes, friend.
Nothing wrong at all with the under-the-chin view… it’s a difficult angle to draw and props to the artist. I feel that he and Greg Land would be some of the few artists who could correctly draw these new costumes (Some are intensely detailed).
Though, the panel with Emma staring directly at the reader is a bit frightening.
I think he got the accent spot on, it sounds right to me in my head anyway. Try thinking in a Upper Class British accent, as Ellis has stated that she has a British accent.
@Ricochet - Greg can draw anything that can be traced. And yes, I am whining alot, that much I know, but I hate the ginormous pancake X-ses, elaborate designs doesn’t automatically make a costume better, and dear Lord does Emma have the longest off-panel clavicle in that under-the-chin shot. Don’t even make me comment on those nostrils.
Oh God, I’m being a massive snob.
