Here's the conclusion (finally!)



I'm kinda bummed though that I'm the only one who supplied new images for this gallery!

That's a superb short story, and it's so clearly told that it almost doesn't need dialogue. (I'd love to see someone try color for it, though.)

You've been so adept at portraits that I genuinely didn't expect this sequential art. With a bit even left hanging (whither the ring on the floor?). A vivid bit of a tale for two of my favorite Legion people!

Nicely done, DrakeB3004!

Yeah, you know, I was really busy in June or else I would have contributed something. Maybe I will now that things are mellowing out for me....

Here's a quick colored sketch. My critique of my own work would be that I think this would be better if I showed his arms, with the image centered better. Otherwise, I felt like this was a pretty dynamic image.

Fresh off the photoshop:

Ha! Great job ME Lad - he's so cute!

And Dean, you continually impress me with how effective you can be with a quick sketch and a little bit of color!

Looks like I haven't posted this yet:

From back in 2003

I put a Cockrum head and chest insignia on a Perez body but it needs to be recolored.

Here's the original cover the above image is based on.

You know I've never read that story.

Great DOFP homage, and I love the Wildfire/Dawnstar pic above it too....gives Dawny a touch of narcissism which doesn't surprise me in the slightest..

I was 15 when it came out & it rocked my world!!

Kingdom Come did that for me, at least in my case.

Cockrum Wildfire.

You can find it in Essential X-Men. I really enjoyed those issues.

I like this parody cover. Wildfire definantly fits in Wolverine's place.

Erg 1 no more, the name is

Yes, it changed comics.
After this story, Marvel came up with lots of ways to kill the X-Men and still keep them.

I asked Claremont about the results of this issue and he got angry.
Then, later, he apologized and said (paraphrased) that he never intended or foresaw the resulting bloodbaths.

sigh
At least, that's how I remember the conversations.
