Issue Overveiw
This is the most well-kmnown issue of Extinctioners, since it was printed by a fairly well-known independant published most mainstream readers know it as "That X-men with animals" and some even own the issue by it's beautiful digital colour.  I talked to a few X-men fans who adored this first issue and didn't even know that the comic was still in print.

Most of the regulars in the series aren't introduced yet in this issue so you'll see a whole lot a Scarlet and Red, (A whole lot in the backup ;) ) and Katherine.  A slightly thinner Max is in the firs coiuple pages, and he comes back later.  This is one of my favorate issues.


 



What you might have Missed

Page one, Frame one:
The Fox in the foreground is wearing a sweater that reads: "VSU" This stand for Vulpine station university.

Page one Frame two
A female Fox in the background is wearing a fish-net shirt with no Bra, O.o this kind of shirt seems popular in Alden, in issue six we see Catrina wearing one, as well as Chester Ringtail in his Cameo.

Page Two Banner
In the Marquie in the Background there are several refereces to other comics Published by Vision at the time.  "Shanda the panda", "Katmandu" and another marque reads "Copycat" Max's future codename.  Shawtae at this time was a regular penciler of Katmandu.  All of these (Includeding Exticntioners) were later printed by Shadna Fantasy Arts.

Page Three Frame Three
A poster on the Telephone Pole in the Background reads "Shanda the Movie" and displays a picture of Shanda.

Page Three Frame Four
The cat turing around is wearing a Red shirt that reads "New Horizons" witch is the first comic Tamar was printed in.

Page Four Frames One and Two
The flag behind the Presedent on the the televiosn screen first has nine stripes, three of with by the blue box containjng the paw symbol.  In the next frame only two stripes appear beside the flag.

Page Five Frames One and Two
In the first Frame the Omega hunter Apears ot be a Bronze colour, the next it is white.  Of corse this could be because of the Lighting.

Page Six Frame Four
This frame is teh first Time Katherine uses her power, wich would explain why It dind't work on her cloths.

Page Nine Frame Two
This Picture of Red throwing a fireball is commonly used in Promotions.

Page Fourteen Frame One
Gramatical Error: "Quick and Fast" have the same meaning.

Page Fourteen Frame Two
This Shot features an Ashcan character who I hope will Re-Apear, Vixahn Blackfox, AKA "Pain"  She is makes other cameos later in the series, so I assume she was Captuted in this attack, since Red states: "They would Capture some Vulpines and Kill all the others"

Page Fifteen Frame Five
Scarlet Becomes the First person to be shown Nude in the Series.  On the Next page Red becomes the Second, though he's only shown from the waiste up, sorry ladies.

Page Sixteen Frame Three
Scarlet Displays a Picture of her Brother.  Ed Mentioned since the Couple had been shareing a Room Red would probabl have asked about her Brother before, or would have known.  Of corse this can be excused since this scene was for the sake of the reader.

Page Seventeen Full Page
One of My favorate art peices in the Series.  Abolutely beautiful, is a real testamint of Tamar's atention to detail, (Kathrine's slippers underneath the cot, the firnge of her panties showing though the hole in her pants) also is amazeing ability to show emotion, you can really feel for this character just by her face.  If I could buy any original page from the series, I would get this one.

Page Eighteen
I could never quite Figure out who this unknown fur was talking the B'jer.  I asume it's just one of his flunkies.  All we see is his paw.

Page Twenty-Five Frame Six
Foxy's neckline sudenly droops to show more of her chest.

Page Twenty-Five Frame Seven
Looks closely at the bottom of the Page near the base of the second explosion, is that the Hammer and Sickle symbol of Communism?  Probably not but it kinda looks like it.
