Sabretooth LS

[mvranas]

Today's update on Comics Continuum includes preview images from the upcoming Sabretooth 5-part limited series.

They have three pages of art from issue number one - page three shows a great Sasquatch drawn by Bart Sears.

Also, near the bottom of the page, there's the cover to issue #3. It's a great painted image of Sas vs Sabretooth (artist unknown).

Thanks for the heads up, I took the liberty of linking to the Sabretooth #3 cover. Too good to leave.

I'm glad to see Sabe's return in his original incarnation, he's been changed so many times lately I can't keep up.

[DelBubs]

If the image above is from #3, then I'm a little confused. I knew Sas was slated to appear in the first two issues, but #3 also. That said, who cares, that image is worth buying the book alone.

I also agree about Sabretooth returning to somthing ressembling my first recollection of him from Iron Fist. I cannot figure why I sold Iron Fist #14 for silly money. Oh for the powers of Hindsight.

Oh the other image mvranas mentioned


Looks more like an orange Wendigo to me, but who am I to criticise. I can't tell which end of a pencil is the right one.

Normally I steer clear of Sabretooth, he always reminds me of the bad guy equivelent of Wolvie, drag him in too draw a crowd. However, this is beginning to look like Walt is gonna get a load of panel time, so too cliche this to the hilt 'I'm all over this like a rash'

[Phil]

I normally steer clear of Bart Sears' work, but this looks to be slightly better than his other recent efforts to me....

I LOVE that PAOLO RIVERA cover for #3. The bart stuff looks okay, not great, not awful. The certainly could have made worst choices. It does indeed look like Sas is in for the whole series. This should add some much needed publicity to Alpha Flight!

I really like the cover, as well. However, I do have two peeves:

1. Sabes seems a bit too "happy to see" Walt.

2. Sasquatch looks a little Troll-like. Makes me think he should be living under a bridge, stealing babies.

1. Give the man some privacy.
2. I think the Sasquatch look is because his head is more defined from his traditional look with a uniform mat of hair from the top of his head and over his shoulders and back.

Newsarama speaks with Bart Sears about the upcoming series. Check out the article here.

Here's another teaser page featuring Sas:

I picked up the first two issues of this and it's rather good and a little creepy.
....And just so I don't peeve anybody off....

I think the Sabretooth is not the badguy of the story and the killer is a Wendigo. If it is the Wendigo.....Yay! I like the Wendigo stories(especially if AF...or a member of AF is involved somehow).

Dana

[kozzi24]

By golly, Dana, I think you might be right on that.

[DelBubs]

So as not to give any spoilers. I agree that the killer is probably the Wendigo, although he is a bit of a standard baddy for whenever Wolvie or some other feral type visits Canada. Plus I think the hairy scarey figure we see at the end of #2, is probably Walt.

Gotta admit to liking this a lot, that joke about the U-Boat at the start of #1 had me laughing out loud and that slight subplot of how much Walt actually knows is nice extra.

Not sure about the rendition of Sas, but the covers more than make up for that.
