 That was the point of the drawing Darin. If you don't see it than Adams didn't do a good job

I get a vibe of it from Rorschach and the Milleresque Batman.

I honestly didn't get but a glance at it before putting it up. I was looking for X-Men pics mostly. It was big and it was DC so I put it up. One of the things that I think makes a great artist great is when they can draw characters in classic, dated costumes and they still look uber cool.

As a kid I loved to death his X-men annual 9 and the New Mutants special where they were in Asgard. Read them over and over. I'm going to dig them up.

This is a cool one that I personally only recently discovered. Art Adams draws the entire "X" universe from 1988, which was the year I started collecting:

I remember that issue. That was the lying c*cksucker issue that announced an ongoing LONGSHOT series by Nocenti and Adams for the upcoming year, but it never happened.

I just went and looked at that, 'cause I have the issue sitting out. Sounds like it would have been cool. "Each issue set in a different world." It was going to be Exiles before Exiles was Exiles!

The current comics just seem to have lost this quality. I imagine at the time there were people looking at that cover and missing the days when there was just one team with "X" in front of their name. But I agree, the above was ideal. Well, this was kind of the golden age for me. Three core teams plus a slightly removed fourth, that seemed just right.

Wow, if they got Nocenti and Adams back together to do a Longshot series now ... that'd be wild. "Longshot Forever"!
