I don't know if anyone's heard of it yet, but here's the first three pages from Yen Press , the company publishing the manga. It'll also be in their monthly magazine, so, yay!

[begichwolf]

Did you guys see the new manga pics?

Fang:

His hair reeeaaallly creeps me out. no way it looks like that.

Max:

I think Max actually looks good...

Iggy:

Iggy looks pretty good too. the shoes are wierd though...

Nudge:

She looks ok, but the random white streak in her hair is wierd. and the white lips...

Gazzy:


Angel

um, her wings are kinda too small and useless....and she has like, fish eyes.  

[begichwolf]

Iggy and Gazzy look pretty good in my opinion. biggrin Max is awesome all the time, always. so, yeah. I can't wait!  

[lupus the lupine]

its weird cos all but max and gazzy look different than i imagined them or is that just me??
fang looks a bit weird dont you agree??
Nudge looks alot older you know more like max's age maybe even older and looks abit you know slutty you know with the short short shorts
and agel needs to have longer hair and bigger wings dont you think??

Also wheres total in all this??? lol  

[begichwolf]

I still think it's really good art, even if it's not what I would have imagined.  

[begichwolf]

How would they pull in their wings "tight against their bodies" like in the books? Is it somekind of magic or something? Because, those wings look huge! Especially Iggy and Fang (Fang's hair is creepy.)  

[lupus the lupine]

i dunno but isnt max supposed to have like a 14 foot wingspan??  

[begichwolf]

??? That would kinda look awkward... Try drawing a girl with wings the size of (insert big thing here) and making her look decently normal..... Yeah, Max sure is normal....Yep.

My opinions:

Fang: When I first saw his, I couldn't believe at ALL his hair was really that long until...

Quote:

Fang always appeared silently like that ... He regarded me calmly, dressed and alert, his dark overlong hair brushed back.

I checked the beginning of the 1st book and that's what I found. Fang's hair WAS like that 'til the makeovers in New York took place later on. domokun

Max: I love Max's. It fits her well in my opinion.

Iggy: Same with Iggy's

Nudge: It's good, but the biggest problem is this. She's 11. No way that an 11-year-old could look like that. >_>

Gazzy: He looks adorable like the mischievous trouble-maker he is. 3nodding

Angel: Angel's ok, but why are her wings so small? I know she's the youngest but it doesn't look like she or anyone else can fly with wings that size. Is the bunny she's holding supposed to be Celeste??? Celeste's a bear not a bunny!

well they ruined all the characters! Fang hairs too long, Max looks to girly, Iggy they made him look like a skinny little whimp, Nudge.... she looks to girly too, Gazzy he looks ok but looks poorly drawn compared to the rest, Angel couldn't glide on those wings much less fly!  

[begichwolf]

it's kind of funny how everyone imagines them differently, they could've been a lot worse, a LOT worse....
Yen press magazine out, July 29? I just can't wait to read it, Manga and Maximum ride mixed together is a dream come true for me.
