New X-Men Issue 136 page 15 by Frank Quitely and Grant Morrison

This page is extremely important to me. In my opinion, Grant Morrison's run on New X-Men is one of the greatest runs in all of comics history. What Grant and artist Frank Quitely did with the character called Xorn is a big reason why. I get chills every time I read this story and get to this page. Depicted here is the aftermath of the U-Men attack on Xorn's Special Class, an event that brings the misfits closer together. . . and also gives major foreshadowing that there is more to Xorn than meets the eye. In addition, this is the first issue where Frank's pencils went uninked and straight to digital color. I sat on the fence about this piece for a long time, but when I heard that Frank was doing pencil headsketches at ECCC 2011 for $275, I pulled the trigger on this page as fast as I could. Thanks to Mitch Itkowitz for giving me the chance to add a truly personal grail to my collection!
