1988 - Marvel Age Annual #4 - Wolverine/X-Titles story
Grabbed from Marvel Age Annual #4 (1988), featuring a cover by Arthur Adams and a sneak peek at the upcoming Wolverine regular series and X-Titles by Chris Claremont, John Buscema and Klaus Janson.
I guess 1988 was the year for crappy re-imaginings of costumes.
Hey Colossus, put a shirt on! (or whatever your old costume was), I always hated that Kitty Pryde look, (the new X-men looks were pretty bad, in general), as well as the awful "new" looks for the New Mutants. ( I am particular to the black and yellow originals). And Archangel was always a dumb idea as a whole, IMHO. Longshot, too, (ugh..)
But you can't beat the brown Wolverine, and Adams always made him look cool. Capt. Britain's new look was pretty okay....again I love the original. But I actually like the Beast's brown/yellow X-factor look. (Hey Iceman, lose the belt.) And I wish Psylocke had kept this costume.
Hey that Marvel age cover was a poster too I think! I'm pretty sure it was hand coloured and looked amazing!

Thanks for the memories.
