Description
Lots to love about this cover. First, it's Avengers vs. X-Men! Vision vs. Colossus!!! Second, it's a floating head cover, featuring over 50 Marvel characters, including Professor X, Rogue, Nightcrawler, Scarlet Witch, Dr. Strange, Spider-Man, Kazar, various New Mutants (Cannonball, Wolfsbane, Magik, Warlock, Sunspot) and a horde of Morlocks. Third, it's drawn by the amazing John Romita Jr! One of his best covers, IMHO.

LOVE this cover and love this story—one of the most imaginative of that great era.  This story made a huge impression on me—in those days I was buying off the 7-11 spinner rack and somehow missed the first issue of the story (or maybe passed on it because of that freaky image of a mutated Prof X), but this cover grabbed me even though I had no idea what was going on.  Great memories and classic cover—congrats!

This is one of my favorite covers of all time. This is also one of the first back issues I ever bought. Colossus is my favorite X-Man, so this cover leapt out at me when I saw it in the comic shop. Congrats on acquiring it!

Great and very memorable cover from a time when the X-Men was still probably my favourite title. A hard fought acquisition. Congratulations, Bill.

 Your eye is drawn immediately to the main characters but the background is beautiful and insanely detailed

The background tapestry of portraits is just as engaging as the killer Clash of Titans in the foreground! Memorable and amazing cover!

OMGosh!!  This is SO awesome.  A true balst from the past.  John did such an awesome job following up Paul Smith.  Back in the day when comic books were treated with respect and were a lot of fun and full of escapism.  Thanx for sharing with us!!

This is a beauty. Definitely one of JR JRs best X-Men covers. Had a couple of chances to own this one over the years, but failed to make it happen. Shame, but you win some you lose some.

Love seeing the extra art under the logo too, what a bonus!

Would be a top notch cover with just the foreground alone.  Background makes it priceless!
