Artist's Comments

New X-Men's last regular cover before the cross-over and the end of the book. I miss these characters.

I designed the new costumes and decided to nod back to New Mutants and Generation X. I felt that it gave it a throw back but still felt very modern and dark.

I was very happy with Pixie and had a hard time watching others draw her after me. Not because I'm better than anyone, but because she's 12 and everyone draws her like a 34 year old super model. Nothing gets on my nerves worse than young characters getting treated the same as adult characters.

This has always been one of my favourite works of yours. I have to agree with you about the other artists. Boobs the size of barbies comes to mind. I could nit pick all day.

Sweet. Great characters.

I love the nod to Generation X and the New Mutants.

I LOVED Generation X. Bachalo is the man.

You should take a look at some of the 12 years old around.... I mean, don´t! There are laws against it...

Your Pixie is the reason i started to notice the character. I agree that other artists just don't seem to get it.

I feel like I miss it more than you do! I really enjoyed these characters when you were drawing them, you're the reason I was attracted to the book.

Sadly a lot of artists don't get the preteens/teens at all.

I love your take on these kids, was what got me back to mutants.

After the stampede the artist Three Solid Frogs got to his feet, retrieved his brush from his nostril, pulled his easel out of a tree, and tried to think placid thoughts.
