Ok, I realise I may be a bit behind the times, especially when you consider Eric Tan posted this image on his blog at least eight months ago, but look at it, it is quite possibly one of the most awesome posters I’ve ever seen…fact! You may have heard the Disney designer’s name being mentioned in all the right places recently due to his again stunning, stylised work on the Wal-E posters. This X-Men poster, made for a Stan Lee art exhibition incorporates a similar style used on his Incredibles work with inspiration from old UFA German cinema posters.

Reminds me of some of the stuff in Super Man:Red Son. I like it when they take an exsisting concept and switch the style on you.

Flip mode for real baby.

this poster gives me wood:
the charter members - GOOD!
storm - GOOD!
wolverine - ubiquitous but GOOD!
cyke in the foreground where he belongs - GOOD!
sentinenls - GOOD!

I think the sentinels are the best tbh. Right sense of brooding foreboding.

That is such a great poster! I would defy anyone who saw that image on the cover of a trade or sumat to walk past without picking it up and having a looksie inside. I love the straight lines, and angular shapes - makes you realise that they are indeed a hard-as-nails fighting team!

I agree with the likeness to the Incredibles, but definitely not as animated or cartoonish. When you look at this poster you just know 'the clops' means biz!
