Description

Finally I can show this one! I've been sitting on this since SDCC '08 waiting for the "ok" by Simone to show it off. It was shown in color by Panini at Angouleme Comic Festival in France this past weekend. The original at is rather large, measuring 52" X 17".

When I purchased it at SDCC, it was believed that the image would be used as variant covers for the issues #26-30 since it's done on 5 sheets of comic art stock but it didn't turn out that way.Simone believes that Marvel will use this as poster in the future. It is now the prize jewel of my collection.

WOW!! I noticed that the original Marvel images of the astonishing x men covers from 25 on were linking characters and I was dying to get a look at the while thing and then they changed all the covers. Best Bianchi piece I have seen!

I'm not a big fan of what's he's doing with the series now, but Simone REALLY knocked this one out of the park!

5 board? Really, seriously 5? How do you store such a piece, 'cause unless it is framed, Itoyas won't do the trick. I have a huge piece that I do not now how to store just because it's size is so big. I am sure this looks better in person.

Was browsing versions of my Astonishing cover and found this one of yours! They did publish it as a cover! Wicked!
