Sketches from the upcoming "X-Men: Misfits" shojo were unveiled in the New York Com Con by Del Rey publisher, Middaugh. The story is re-invented by spouses: Raina Telgemeier and Dave Roma and the characters are given a total makeover by Anzu.
Kitty Pryde
Iceman and Nightcrawler
Beast
"Instead of the co-ed version of Professor Xavier's Academy for Gifted Children, Telgemeier, Roman and Anzu's version puts the focus squarely on Kitty, who is the only girl student invited to attend the exclusive school for mutants. Think 'Hana Kimi' and 'Ouran High School Host Club' except all her male classmates know Kitty's a girl from the get-go. In a relationship never, ever imagined in the Marvel Universe, Ice Man is Kitty's aloof love interest, and Nightcrawler is her goth guy classmate, who is also the first to befriend her.'Anzu's version of Beast shows how far we've re-imagined the basic premise of the X-Men story,' said Middaugh as he showed off a very Totoro-esque, cute 'n cuddly badger version of the blue n' furry hero who's one of the professors at the Academy."
