Good to see Puck front and centre!

Really impressed with how they are using Puck in this series. When I first heard he would be in this book, I was fearing he'd be used just for comic relief or, worse yet, a sidekick to the more popular X-men.
He's coming across as quite a valuable member of the team and also getting respect from his team-mates... I like it.

[Mokole]

Yes, good stuff.

[rplass]

Wow that's great! Very impressive illustration

[Phil]

Yeah, he's definitely come on as an artist since X-Infernus.

So, i got around to purchasing issues 2 and 3 of this series, just to give it a try.

I'm neither underwhelmed nor overwhelmed by it. (Why isn't anybody ever just whelmed?)

The one thing I DIDN'T like, was Puck cursing. Methinks they are trying to hard to fit Puck into this bad@$$ box; the cursing just doesn't work for his character, IMHO.

Marvel HAS, however, hooked me into Uncanny Avengers.

I think you can in Europe.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of that, either. Him or Psylocke, who does it all the time. It strikes me as trying too hard to be tough or edgy or something, and instead is just off-putting to me. I'm not sure why; I think it's because these are characters who've never sworn on-panel before suddenly doing it every second word.
(Both those statistics are probably exaggerated, but you know what I mean.)

[rplass]

Yeah, he's definitely come on as an artist since X-Infernus.

Hmm. I was a huge fan of the art on X-Infernus. I'm surprised by your assessment!

[Phil]

It wasn't a slight against X-Infernus, but it's definitely better work as I'm sure he would say.
Any artist strives to improve from their first work.

[Flightpath07]

Any artist strives to improve from their first work.

Not me!

I aim for a passing grade on the first try, and then slack off from there.

[Le Messor]

I aim for a passing grade on the first try, and then slack off from there.

... but are you an artist? And if so, what kind?

~ Le Messor
Faith: I've met you before, you know.
Spike: Yeah, you made a great impression on my chin.

[Flightpath07]

More of an "Artiste".

I've got art in my soul, but nothin' in my hands.
