Thanks yet again. We really didn’t know how to do this. We slapped together @xmentas and this website a couple of months ago, and now they both have lives of their own. Two days ago was by far the most-viewed blog post. It’s great to have momentum. We will never take it for granted. Below is another of series producer/designer Will Meugniot’s recent sketches of a member of our X-MEN:TAS team. Storm was not the simplest character to write for. How do you make someone “regal,” “damaged,” and likable all at the same time? I think our best stories about Ororo had to do with her struggle to contain her volatile, roiling emotions — a challenge never faced for a moment by Wolverine. If you think about it, successful royal families have long had to serve their countries first, their personal feelings a distant second. It also makes for fun animation opportunities when a master of the weather “loses it.” In any case, today Storm is free to let loose as wildly as she likes. She’s hoping we soon see 3,000.
