Always a pleasure to see the X-Men since they stopped publishing it :) Seriously, a great piece celebrating a watermark period for the group.

That is darned nice. Great idea for a team montage with Charles in the center. Congrats to the owner. Quite interesting to have Magneto looking down on Charles. =)

Wonderful!

I've come to the conclusion that no-one draws Professor X as well as you.

It's all good, but the central figure is just about perfect (like that Prof X mini-sized commission you did a few years back). The bottom section of the X-Men battling Alpha Flight in the snow and the sentinel top right really rustle up that magical feeling that Marvel comics used to hold for me a long time ago (except the art is better than ever!)

That's wonderful!

I especially like the Dark Phoenix pose and how it works with the borders.
