Description

A great addition to my HOXPOX collection and my Gallery of [X]! It's a composite of 2 sketches mounted on black paper. It was used as a variant cover and as one of the small number of promo pieces - see Additional Images.

UPDATE: Sad news. Carlos Pacheco has died at the age of 60 due to complications from ALS. Taken too soon. RIP Carlos Pacheco [1961-2022]

"When two aggressive species share the same environment, evolution demands adaptation or dominance." With this ominous announcement appearing in comics on 13 March 2019 we knew something big was coming. But what?! This was followed a week later with another one-pager which simply said "HICKMAN" and "JULY 2019". No more words were needed. Legendary writer Jonathan Hickman was involved and we had a launch date. Wild speculation followed! A few days later, alongside stunning artwork by Mark Brooks (which became connecting variant covers for HOX#1 and POX#1) Marvel Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski announced at Marvel's Next Big Thing panel at C2E2 that Jonathan Hickman would be writing House of X and Powers of X, with Pepe Larraz illustrating House of X, R.B. Silva illustrating Powers of X, and Marte Gracia providing colours for both. In an accompanying statement, Cebulski said, "We are excited to have Jon back with the Marvel family, and we could not have asked for a better creative team to help usher the X-Men into a whole new era. While we can�t reveal too much about the story just yet, these new stories will redefine the X-Men and their place in the Marvel Universe. This is a historic moment both new and passionate fans won�t want to miss.� Hickman added, "Let me just say that we have radical, radical plans for all of you. I grew up primarily a DC Comics guy; the only book I read of Marvel growing up was the X-Men. All the books I've done at Marvel up to this point, those were fantastic jobs - but they were jobs. This is was the first book I've loved before I started doing. I probably haven't been more proud of anything I've worked on than this. I think all of you will be pretty jacked. We're doing some different radical stuff. Two books that'll you have to read both to stay tuned, but there's a good reason for it."

Expectations were set. Very high! And when it launched HOXPOX was 12 weeks we'll never forget. And nothing has been the same since!

Cool!!! Interesting how Carlos moved over Angel and Iceman to center the composition in the final cover, which I have up in my CAF Gallery. Congrats!!!
