Marvel Debuts "Black Vortex" Art by Newly Exclusive Andrea Sorrentino

[_underscore]

Black Vortex has met and exceeded my expectations thus far. I like how it has been unfolding thus far. But it's still early. I've seen one too many Marvel crossover events starting strong and ending badly. Avengers vs. X-men and Fear Itself are case studies of that. Marvel seems to have gotten better with it in Age of Ultron and Infinity. I'm not sure where this one will land, but I'm trying to stay positive. I know that's an alien concept among comic fans.

You enjoyed Age of Ultron?

So YOU'RE the guy!

What books are those? Title and issue number(s) please.

And make it quick, this guy doesn't have all day.

o.O just check the reading list for Black Vortex.

Easier to just ask.

And make it quick, this guy doesn't have all day.

I did it already

So the villains are Angel, Beast and Gamora?

Everyone knows that when Angel becomes any version of Archangel he becomes midly evil and brainwashed.
Although looking at his design my guess is he became a ying yang of his good and evil side. I get life seed angel vibes.

So looking at our trio of "Villains" I see that Beast is the Brains, Gamora is the Brawn and Angel... is ... the... Chick????
I may have to comeback to this one.

Congrats to Andrea. He's a great artist. Hopefully, he'll eventually land on something I want to read.

Based on some of the posts here it seems like some people aren't even aware than an event involving xmen is currently going on.

Maybe marvel didn't market it well enough?

After the last few X-Events it's more wishful thinking that there WASN'T an event rather than ignorance of the existence of one. Personally, I'm getting it because it's more of a standard crossover than an event. And I was already getting 3 of the involved titles anyways.

It's in space, many X-Men aren't even in the event.

To me it's more a GoTG/Star-Lord event as it got built up in those books. The few X-Men picked up for it are kinda just... There.

Agreed...the X-Men feels very tact on, maybe they were added in, because of the popularity of Starkitty?

(Btw Sardorim is your new avatar from a XX-Men cover?)

Fantastic artwork. Can't wait for the new Old Man Logan series to start.

Ugh I just read the solicits and they are only using Sorrentino for one issue in this event and going to Mahmud Asrar. What a waste, at least let him draw the other ANX issues.

No, I believe it was from Issue #7 with Rachel giving Storm the evil look for being a Dictator at the time.

Trying to get your reference but it flew over my head. Care to elaborate?

Marvel editorial has a tendency to give the Xbooks the short end of the art stick. It will start off with a high profile artist for a few issues only for that artist to be re-assigned to a much higher priority project on a non X title or an event Marvel is pushing.

Sorrentino was terrible on God of War, bad on I, Vampire, excellent on Green Arrow and poor again on X-men. Will avoid his art from now on. Seems like Lemire was the only person to bring out his best side.

It's a crossover between GotG, Star-Lord, ANXM and a few other titles. UXM and X-Men are not part of it. So yeah, no Rachel or Colossus.
