POWERS OF X #1 page 5 -- Featuring Moira MacTaggert, Rasputin IV and Cardinal

Love this page, every bit of it, in particular the tarot card fortune telling middle panels, including, of course, a glimpse of soon to be fan favourite Rasputin IV.

I wasn’t quick enough to get the inked version of this page – another CAF member did really well and has an awesome collection of them - so when a small number of these “digital pencils” became available, I didn’t hesitate. This is the original digital line art by RB Silva. He then passed it on to Adriano Di Benedetto to ink it and then on to Marte Gracia to colour it - see Additional Images.

I have absolutely loved the last 5 years of X-books, from Jonathan Hickman’s House of X / Powers of X, all the way through to last week’s X-Men #35, that issue marking the end of the First Krakoan Era, as Marvel has called it. HOXPOX got me back into actually reading comics and it’s been great fun collecting pieces of comic art from this period along the way.

I appreciate that these digital pencil pages may not be for everyone - and if HOXPOX hadn't been such a massive event, I probably wouldn't have been that interested - and they may not be worth very much at all - but for me, a massive HOXPOX fan - and a self-confessed process nerd! - I think they’re fascinating

Enjoy!
