Hm. Sorry. I seem to be lapsing into drugstore cowboy speak!

Several reasons to love that image: great action, the characters look their best (as usual with JB) and this particular image takes me back to a time when I discovered the X-Men.
Congratulations to the commissioner.

Great piece of work. And I too confess to having totally forgotten that Shaman's Totem fight despite being an avid X-Men/Alpha Flight fan. I guess I need to re-read them all!

Awesome issue that led to one of my favorite Marvel series.

I love commissions that draw from that period of JB's career. I'm instantly a kid again.

This is a favorite story of mine from the X-Men run - excellent commission, JB!!

This isn't the first time JB has revisited this story. In the 1990's, before I had ever seen a commission, I picked up the portfolio of JB's X-Men art. I think it was French or Canadian? Each of them is called a "planche". Not sure what it means, but it's been mentioned on the forum before and it's basically a bunch of awesome B&W prints that have the same vibe as a commission. The scene from this storyline hangs on my wall so I can see my favorite X-Man every day:

Geez - maybe I should have used the flash. I kind of like the sepia tone tho!

Byrne drew X-Men in the 1800's! I knew he was a time traveller!
