I hear you, j1jes ! In a perfect world, Clan Destine would be longer than Stan Lee and Jack Kirby run on Fantastic Four ! I already posted what follows in the Clan Destine section, Alan, but I'm so happy about the Clan's return that I have to post it here -since it's here that you post. So, here are...

Same feeling here.

IT. SO. ROCKS !!!!

First issue is finally here. What can I say ? I'm back in heaven ! Alan's art is awesome, as always. But to see the man giving life to his own creations... well, it's even better. What I liked the most : The drawing of the first page, with Adam's and his wife's children. The pictures of Adam, throug...

So it's official : the Clan is BACK !
Great, great cover !

Oh Gosh, Oh Golly, Oh WAOW !!

Who's your favorite member of the Clan ? I like them all : Wallop, because of his look and his job as a writer; Argent, because of her evolutive armor; Hex, because of his so sensitive senses; Newton, because of the Woody Allen feel; Cuckoo, because of all her different incarnations; Rory and Pandor...

Max and Emma I’m Glad you enjoyed Lille. It was a good show with a nice venue and, from what I could see, very well attended. I have no definite plans to visit France in the near future but I was asked about attending a couple of other conventions so it may not be too long. I’m afraid I have no ide...

Hi Mr Davis. My wife and I saw you this week-end in Lille. We first wanted to thank you for your kindness and your accessibility. I've been dreaming to get a Nightcrawler from you since I first read "Excalibur : the sword is drawn", eighteen years ago or so. It was my very first comic-book... Also, ...

Amazing !
Thanks a lot for this great preview.

Yep. :wink: Although I really like -and own- all of Alan's great comic books about the good old captain, he isn't one of my favourites. I guess I don't really care for all the drapped-in-a-flag characters. Also, after Alan Davis's departure, Excalibur existed for several years without Brian Braddock...

Nightcrawler (leader, of course. )
Kylun
Cerise
Meggan
Shadowcat
... and Adam Destine (as a regular guest-star)

'Nuff said.

I think Alan made the most developed Nightcrawler ever in powers, character, and leadership. For that, I'll never forget the N-Men (the Crazy Gang, i.e. Nightcrawler's Men)! Amen to that, bub ! :) Plus, I think this Anti-Phoenix storyline is of "Dark phoenix" storyline level. It's a very underestim...

Hmmm, I'd definitively like to see this hidden part of the Clan's story. But I understand Alan's concerns. It sometimes can take an important number of issues to build a great story.
Look at Excalibur. The Necrom/Anti-Phoenix story was something like 12 issues long, and still is one of the best !

Cool. Sounds fun. It'll help us to wait for the Clan Destine's return !

Fun idea, but I'm too excited about Alan writing and drawing the Clan again to think about something else right now.

Thanks for your answers, Alan. :D So, it's a direct sequel. Cool ! I'm thrilled to know there will be some new, hidden chapters of Adam's life. And I particularly enjoyed the "wait and see" hint regarding Kylun and Cerise. You bet I'll be waiting for these great creations to finally show up ! So, OK...
