That Would Make A Great..."X-men: No More Humans" Edition

     I just got through reading the first original X-men graphic novel since "God Loves,Man Kills", titled "No More Humans".  There were a few images in the graphic novel, drawn by Salvador Larocca, that I think would make for some great statues.  They inspired me to resurrect the "That Would Make A Great..." post series.

Snapshot: Size Comparison of Latest Bowen X-factor Releases

    A follower of the X-lair asked if I would post an image of the X-factor Iceman statue and the X-factor Beast statue for a size comparison.  Thus I am providing this flash photography snapshot for him and for anyone else that is looking to see these two side by side. Enjoy!

As an aside, I'd like to thank everyone who follows the blog and has subscribed to my Youtube channel, Dr. Remy Lebeau's X-lair.  We just reached 200 subscribers which is very cool!

Also, I want to thank everyone for being understanding during this lull in the posting frequency.  As some of you know I'm in a PhD program and I've got a ton on my plate right now!  I'll try to get at least one Collection Post up a week for now.

Take care my X-friends!

That Would Make A Great..."X-treme X-men volume 1" Edition Part 1

     Extreme X-men volume one is an interesting comic.  For one thing it was written by Chris Clarement and thus should have simply been a series of stories within Uncanny X-men.  Since Grant Morrison basically became the captain of the X-ship at the time, X-tremne X-men was sort of a way to keep old X-fans happy (this is all conjecture of course).  It actually wound up being pretty bland in its storytelling ( imo ) but the art was very cool.  Salavador Larroca drew some elaborate, detailed and highly styled works that I thought were some of the best since the departure of Jim Lee and Joe Mad.

Beyond My Collection: The Worst X-men Statue Ever Made?

     This is the first of many forthcoming posts that will cover statues that I do not have in my collection.  I will be using stock photos from the respective statue producer and will occasionally post photos and videos from other collectors.

     I thought I would start with the Beast Maquette statue produced by Sideshow Collectibles.  It's a 24" tall piece, with an edition size of 300. It was released in 2009.
