Wow .... just "wow"!
As beautiful as this terrific commission piece actually is, for the nostalgic among us it also engenders a degree of wistful sadness. That team, their unique interpersonal dynamics, and time together is a thing of the past. These characters will never again feature in an ongoing monthly series, looking that way, acting that way, sounding that way [ you get the picture].
In one respect, it's sort of a tribute to how good that comic was. Apparently every writer, artist, editor combo since the bronze age faded into memory, doesn't believe that they can adequately produce a book with these particular "Uncanny X-Men" that will measure up to such high standards, which belies how vehemently they promote fifteen to twenty regular X-titles as THE BEST EVER, but that have actually spread these characters across such a broad spectrum of, well ..... you fill in the blank.
Great job here, Mr. Byrne!
