Don’t Call Them X-Babies - Bill Sienkiewicz & The New Mutants - Behind The Panel | SYFY WIRE

Off the rails and proud of it. There are legends and rock stars in comics and then there’s Bill Sienkiewicz (who happens to be both). An artist whose radical approach took the medium in a different direction at a time when the comics business was perfectly happy to stay in its lane. His revolutionary work on Marvel’s The New Mutants helped unlock the potential in sequential comics art. Movie audiences will soon get a taste when the New Mutants film finally makes it’s long-awaited debut.
Featuring Interviews with…
Bill Sienkiewicz (Artist, The New Mutants)
Chris Claremont (Writer, The New Mutants)

[@powerbad696]

Wow,this is some good stuff,great job Behind the Panel,keep'em coming!!! Loved Bill's run on both Moon Knight and the New Mutants,he has a very distintive art style.Bob McLeod 's run on New Mutants was great also,have to pick up back-issues on their runs!!!! Need some good comics reading,haven't bought any of the current stuff in years.

[@Chandasouk]

Mike had to break out the fancy suit. Great stuff like always! I cannot believe the people you are able to interview.

[@michaelavila6533]

neither can I!

[@brianmaina2374]

Im glad you are doing this kind of content, dont stop

[@peterlane6895]

Thank you for this SyFy! Truly special!

[@benderchump]

Please don't do a Rob Liefeld interview for Deadpool.

[@scottsummers4234]

Are we ever gonna see that New Mutants movie? We'll never know 😂

[@gianmarcotoval509]

That upcoming new mutants omnibus is gonna be a thing of beauty

[@IndigoPheniX]

Excellent interview!

[@patriciooliver]

This is amazing, as a huge fan of the book and a graphic designer and illustrator its a privilege to listen to Bills process

[@SyFyWire]

All hail this amazing man 🙌

[@Hell_Inc]

one of the greatest to ever do comics. hell, forget comics, just art in general. true genius

[@SyFyWire]

The 🐐

[@chriscorley6478]

Bill's explosive psychedelic abstract style, beautifully warped my welcoming mind as a child... Always one of my favorite artists.

[@jasonbean591]

I have the full first run of The New Mutants. Great work.:)

[@krzysztofmathews738]

Excellent interview! One of the most truly innovative artists in comics.

[@KTF0]

Always wanted to see Bill do a Dr Strange story

[@rzerox21xx]

Bill did drew 2 Uncanny X-men issues before the new mutants, 1 regular which Uncanny X-men 159 fight Dracula with Storm almost turn to Vamprism and a sequel to that story in King Size X-men 6 which resolved the Dracula plot.

[@kencoleman5007]

I was hoping that they would've made a more direct take on the Demon Bear story with the ER and people like Corsi getting transformed. When reality shifts into a spirtverse, they could've switched the visuals to animation mirroring Sienkiewicz's style.

[@kencoleman5007]

@Ryan Stewart Not "who", but "what". The trailers.

[@89five3five]

I remember seeing his work on NM for the first time. It blew me away. It was so out there but great

[@gnost3k144]

i hated it with all my heart, but i was like 12, i didn't understand. i still collected them anyways cause i loved the characters.

[@valjrart6702]

I wish so much he had done more Sandman stuff.

[@avatarkels9846]

Jim Shooter looks like Michael Kelso

[@chadfarr6263]

I love the new mutants!

[@jayemcbride6772]

anyone else have issues with the sound? It sounds muffled in parts

[@marinehuneault36]

Cool

[@troyc4250]

Finally I get to pronounce his name right...Sink Kev Vich....one of my all time favorites

[@kuakou]

Thank you for highlighting an incredible artist.

[@UnknownUnknown-dk1qg]

Bill is so excited about it🤣

[@lordchaz2k]

Why shouldnt he be. The guy is still being honored and appreciated 30 years later after that iconic run.

[@TimesThree333]

I seriously worshiped this guy after New Mutants appeared. I started to follow his work during Moon Knight, but the New Mutants really got to me. One of the greats.

[@SyFyWire]

Totally off the rails

[@sc33by1]

The New Mutants was the shit when I was younger!!!!!!

[@PHATDAWGEATS]

New Mutants is going to be Amazing!!

[@SyFyWire]

SO excited about this!!

[@PHATDAWGEATS]

I’ve been excited for almost 3 years!!!

[@Chandasouk]

X, X, Baby

[@estebankhan6520]

90's comics were so good. What happened Marvel?

[@33TimberWolf]

New Mutants, awesome! Just not a fan of this particular art style. The demon bear storyline was well done, but his art made it very difficult to follow. It was / is just too abstract and undefined. It reminds me of the blurry style of Picasso ... great, but hard too sloppy for my tastes.
