    I wonder if they're gonna do the special anniversary issue for X-Men #1 like they did with Giant Size X-Men where a new artist does a single page

    That would be really cool actually. Every page of that issue is artfully amazing.

    Wow I can't wait to see a bigger version of this and see it fully coloured/painted. I might even be tempted by a lithograph if they turn it into one eventually...

    It's Claremont...so I know he didn't forget that even without her powers Storm is still a very competent h2h fighter.

    That is so fucking cool. I'm not a variant-fan but it's Brooks, and this is a very interesting cover-design concept. If only the X-logo wasn't so obtrusive.
