    Interesting homage but the layout on the original is better



    In the original they were all blinded by her light powers but in this variant, they are able to look directly at her without being affected

    Have to agree. There original is more detailed, dynamic and (pun intended) has more energy to it. The homage looks somewhat generic and quickly done by comparison. It's not bad by any means, but just not that interesting.

    Vecchio's art has been improving so much in just a short amount of time. I really liked the more cute, gentle style he usually goes for, but it's been cool seeing him branch out, change, and evolve.

    Nice homage to Adam Kubert's awesome gatefold cover for Wolverine #90 by Mico Suayan...

    Speaking, of which has a homage cover ever topped the original? I'd really like to see it.

    Come to think of it. How many covers created over the past decades have actualy managed to become homaged or referenced themself in similar capacity?

    The X-men are now 60 years old, but it can feel like the first 30 produced the majority of images and covers which are still held on a kind of pedestal to be metaphorical worshiped and idolized, while the later 30 came and went without reaching any such level of fame and reverence.

    Not many.

    Maybe because since the early 2000s Bill Jemas era (or even before), the covers have frequently become interchangeable posters, not very representative of the story on the inside.

    The same can be said for the characters (and this is true for all properties). There have only been a handful of characters created post-90s that have made any impact on the X-world. So the same kind of goes for iconic imagery.

    Off the top of my head, I can only think of the cover for New X-Men #114 which was the launch of a new era and a watershed moment. HoX/PoX was absolutely another watershed moment, but didn't really produce any truly amazing covers. Pepe Larraz and R.B. Silva are amazing artists but their covers are pretty simple.

    Stephen Segovia variant cover for Deadpool (Vol. 10) #1…



    … I wonder if Wolverine is actually guest-starring or this is just a variant cover that I shouldn’t read too much into?
