Monday Tuesday Night Murals: Children of the Atom, Go Where I Send Thee

Hey, look! It's the entire history of the X-Men in one easy-to-understand (e.g., no Claremont) mural!:

Well, no wonder Jean keeps coming back from the dead all the time...there's four of her.

Still, that's kinda cheatin' for a cover mural, because Marvel's trimmed off some space between each of the covers so they don't interlock completely. I don't know whether that's intent or carelessness...but who cares! Because I've got the full image for you of David Finch's poster that you can buy at your local comic book store (tell 'em a little stuffed mutant bull sent ya!). Huh, maybe Marvel trimmed the images on purpose so you'd have to buy the poster. Pretty sneaky, Quesada! (in my "playing Connect Four" voice):

X-Men: Legacy


Cool! Everybody who's anybody is on there. Or...are they? According to this poster, X-Men history seems to stop around UXM #143. Who designed this thing anyway...John Byrne? Where's all our favorite latter-day X-Men, like...um, that guy, and what's-'er-'face with the big...um...you know what I mean...the big eyes.

So, here's my special gift to you: a cover mural I made for you by my little own self, featuring pretty near all the rest of the X-Men. Including that guy! Aw, you know the one.

X-Men: Legacy


Go ahead! Print it out, cut 'em apart, paste 'em on your comic books! Sell them to your local comic book store as rare, previously unseen variants! Pocket that cash and go buy some penny whistles and moon pies. You know you want to!

Oh, and in case you wanted more Wolverines (Wolverii?), here's one for you.

Wolverines!


Still not happy? Sheesh, then take this one and go put Cypher or Domino on it! Or, more probably, not! And post 'em if you got 'em in the comments! Neatness counts—unless you're doing Cable, in which case incomprehensibility counts.

  1. Bully, great murals... but there's only three Jean Grey not four?

  2. You might be missing the Jean near the Sentinels and the Hellfire Club dressed as the Black Queen.

  3. I think you forgot (perhaps intentionally) the X babies. I know they were unto an abomination, but I'm still waiting for the team up between baby wolverine and baby muppet animal!
