Oh god yes!! And 60 pages is not enough!!
This team must seem familiar to the X-Men.
Nicely done! From an artistic standpoint this is one of your best efforts yet. Banshee looks a little like he was pasted in, but otherwise it looks like the whole thing was drawn as a unit.
I always was fascinated by the pointed shoulder style on Sun Boy's and Nightcrawler's costumes as shown here. About half the superhero costumes I doodled in the '80s had some variation on that. It's nice to know now who was responsible for that idea. Now if only I could figure out how that can be done in real life....
This is also my favorite of Phantom Girl's many costumes. I don't generally go in for cleavage windows; she and Power Girl are the main exceptions. On Power Girl it's simply become an iconic feature, coupled with her large bust, but on Phantom Girl it somehow looks sexy whether she's drawn with large bust or small. And I just loved the bellbottoms as well. Add in the pigtails and it becomes a very iconic look; and that's what great superhero costumes are really all about.
And now that I think on it, those two might make for an interesting team-up in their own right.
they have team-up before in the dc/marvel mini-series access unlimited.if who can bring back access.
Excellent choice, Ross!!
Doug
Considering Storm, Nightcrawler and Colossus were all originally designed as potential Legion villains, I've been waiting for the inevitable Cockrum Legion/X-Men cover from you. This did not disappoint -- great job, Ross.
Thanks guys, I'm happy with the way this one came out.
Bob - Sun Boy's pointed shoulders are a Silver Age thing, that's how he looked like from the beginning (see this image for example).
Uncle Twitchy - Nightcrawler was going to be part of a hero team called the Outsiders, which also included a couple of members who inspired Storm. Cockrum's Wolverine was a member of their villainous team counterpart, the Devastators (sometimes called The Strangers). See this page for their history. I'm not familiar with Colossus being created for the Legion though.
I just realized a few minutes ago that a team-up between Power Girl and Phantom Girl would be very unlikely here, since they're both DC and you generally only team up characters from different companies. So... oh well.
Michael -- thanks for the note and the link. I think Colossal Boy also sported the same kind of shoulders on his costume for a while too. In any case I do find it an interesting feature.
Your best cover that I have seen.
Awwww, yeah! Very cool!
The best part of the "Access" Amalgamating DC and Marvel was the Days Future Past with the Legion and X-Men!
Also, the Shi'ar Imperial Guard were modeled after the Legion (sort of like how Squadron Supereme is the JLA)
Fun times :D
I understood that Colossus was a Cockrum redesign (or reboot, as we say these days) of Ferro Lad.
Dave Cockrum was one of the modern (1970s) masters in comics history. Of important note, he was the artists who was the game-changer who rocketed both the Legion and the X-Men into the Bronze Age with the most significant visual changes of Silver Age characters since the redesign of Green Arrow in the late 60s.
A great, appealing legend.
