Description

Blood Brothers part 1 from X-man #46
Stryfe hunts Nate Grey

Stryfe has always been one of my favorite villians since his introduction in New Mutants and as the main antagonist in one of my favorite Xmen arcs X-Cutioner's Song. While he may not be featured as much as his peers, I'm still glad to see him being used (Blood and Metal, Messiah War, current Deadpool and Wolverine run).

His art is hard to come by, much less a splash.
This piece brought back the nostalgic memory of Stryfe beating Apocalypse for leadership of the Dark Riders back in X-Cutioner's Song.

Many thanks to James for the heads up on this piece.
My OAOG brother...one of the great things about this hobby, are the friendships made along the way.

Stryfe: " Ah, the Dark Riders. You follow the survivor, do you not? The fittest of the species? The strongest? Who has bested Apocalypse?"

Dark Riders: "You have".

Stryfe: "Who do you follow?"

Dark Riders: " We follow you."

Oh yeah. I'm hoping the arc with mother Askani will bring Stryfe

Stryfe, the baddie I was so into as a kid I tried to trace him.  Better leave it to Williams!

Congrats on a great splash! The cool angled lower font even lifts up the characters

Given his current artistic level and interests (by way of what titles he has worked on since this early in his career), it's hard to remember JH did work for the x-office. Great use of light on this splash.
