Description
In an indication of how the comic art pantheon works, I went from 0 examples of one of my favorite 90's artists to 3 pieces in the space of 8 weeks. This one's particularly special in that it’s from Adam’s first issue of the book, taking over from Tony Daniel. It was a wild artistic departure from the aesthetic of the time that I was absolutely floored by.

In the last page splash of the book (there's an epilogue page after this one), we see the team in the full debut of their new uniforms. Warpath, Caliban, Sunspot, Shatterstar, Boomer, Cable and Domino are all present and posed up. The first caption is the end of Canonball's farewell letter to Cable as he graduates to the main X-Men team. The rest of it indicates the transition to a new era for X-Force.

S-T-O-K-E-D!

A great team character splash from an era that doesn't get a lot of love, congrats on this unique lineup.

A wicked awesome assembly splash with a gorgeous message proving Pollina's beginning was as much a new tomorrow as X-Force will be. Congrats on this well pencilled as inked score frosted with mad-heart!

Well, I'm moving Cannonball from the comic
Catch the X-Men team that I find
Yes, I'm leaving the Cable in the last page
Before Sam Guthrie’s away from my mind

Send me love and I may get page thirty
Send me hopes Adam fits in the pen
But if you really want this Pollina
I can only sell, you know, when I'm dead

When splashes fills my days
It's time to graduate
And let tomorrow's dreams
Become reality X-team

Wow!  You're on a real Adam Pollina roll.  Great team shot, and of course love those Farmer inks.

I always heard bad things happen in threes. My whole life has been a lie. :(

Cable turning to the girl and saying "See that kid with all the pouches? He's going places. He's practically exploding with potential. Mark my words. Boom! You will see."

Great team shot for sure (and I'll take Pollina over Daniel any day of the week).

So glad to see you get this piece! It's a wonderful example from an early issue, and the nostalgia value hits hard! Does it get any better?

I remember seeing this splash in the comic years ago and loving it. Pollina's work was phenomenal on the book and definitely a change. Congrats on this great example.

Pollina first issue, full splash, full team, in new unis?  And from one of your favorite books?!  This piece is what we call an ultimate box checker.  Not hard to see why either!  Congrats, E!

Pollina's run on X-Factor showed a remarkable talent with a very distincitve style.  Excellent example!
