X-Men and Madam Xanadu

 

Perhaps if the X-Men paid a visit to Madam Xanadu, they could have avoided a lot of drama ahead of them.  Or would her readings just cause them to find drama on another path?  It does seem to follow them around.

Madame Xanadu and Doctor Strange already met, but how about Madame Xanadu and Daimon Hellstrom? Or Madame Xanadu and Clea?

Clever, clever. Inspired even. How do you keep coming up with these?

Gotta agree with Dave. The Madame X-men? Genius!!!

Well, let's be fair, Ross. There is an even bigger drama magnet; Spider-man. And, to the best of my knowledge, there's only one time he's ever crossed paths with Jimmy Olsen (a proven comedic chaos magnet). So, Heaven forbid those two ever encountering each other on a sequel cover! ;-)

See STF #879 via "Jimmy Olsen" search link. below.

Davejonz, Thanks! Some of my ideas come from the steady stream of suggestions and others, like this, from my own imagination. I liked this Madame Xanadu image and was looking for a team of characters to insert into it, once I have decided upon that the X connection made this pairing a natural.

I'd love a peek behind the scenes on this cover Ross.

@Shamus: Madame Xanadu and Clea are both part of The Coven, though a simple pairing wouldn't be a bad thing.

I actually was checking on Madame Xanadu to see if she'd been paired with Agatha Harkness, which to my surprise she has not. I think that such a cover would make for a good excuse for a commentary on Agatha All Along.

Kaluta has always been one of my favourite artists,
and he seemed to Enjoy drawing Madam Xanadu ,
A strange use of the Tarot Cards but magic is her twist..
and those X-men will have trouble ahead…

B.G. has a great pairing with Aggie. Sort of like a chess game gone sideways!

M. Xanadu looks so calm. Now if she could interact with Deadpool.??

Oh, my goodness... or... has Deadpool yet met the Phantom Stranger?
