Nowlan - New Mutants 51 page 8 (and prelim)

Happy to help, because you also know what YOU did. ❤️ 

Fantastic.  A piece of Mutant Massacre in there...in telepathic memory...powerful.

Panel 5!!!!!!!!

Professor X can't stand the strain!  "I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened".  The betrayal of Cyclops finally breaks him!

Great page from a memorable issue. I think everyone that has read it remembers Xavier's floating head ;)

That first panel on the last row is something!

what a page, that first panel is wonderful - certainly this is what you would want from a Nowlan page and classic New Mutants timing!

That's soooo goooood!

excellent page! great to see the process prelim for it stay with the OA too. 

I actually already had the prelim, but yeah, it's great to have both!

oohh, even better then that you brought them back together!

At the time, as a 11-12 year old reader I was intrigued but also weirded out by Nowlan's cold, alien style; always made me feel a little unsettled.  Took me a bit of maturing to recognize how singular and unique is is--now I'd say he's one of my favorite artists.  Love that this page showcases him doing his take on several key moments/themes from the late 80s world of X.  And great writing by Claremont, as always.  Congrats!

You weren't the only one with a strong reaction to his non-Marvel house style - he has shared the hate mail Marvel got from his work on the issue. As you can see from the other pages I have from the book, I love it!

Panel 5 with the OG's is bangin'

Congrats on another amazing addition to your collection!
