Without a doubt, 2006 has been a huge year for Marvel’s merry mutants. First, the Vs. System X-Men set made a huge impact on the game, introducing powerful cards and teams to Constructed formats (in addition to fun, challenging, and exciting Draft and Sealed Pack formats). Then, X-Men 3 hit theaters everywhere and became the summer’s first blockbuster hit.
Now, you can pick up some awesome X-Men art to add class to your home or office. There are only 250 of each item available (framed or unframed), and all carry an authentication hologram. The only major choice you have to make is if you want to show off the heroic X-Men or the villainous Brotherhood.
The X-Men piece is done by Andrew Robinson, and features Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Professor X.
If you’re feeling a bit more diabolical, you may want to pick up the X-Men Villains piece, with art by Dave Johnson.
This one features Juggernaut, Black Tom Cassidy, Mystique, Toad, Sabretooth, Sauron, Mojo, Dark Phoenix, and Sentinels.
With such limited quantities, these lithographs are unique and collectable far beyond the straight “wow” factor of having professional and classy art of your favorite superheroes (or villains) hanging on your wall.
