Description
In case you didn't work it out, this is the cover for X-Factor #50. 
This was another cover I did just before I went overseas. In addition to the pencils and inks, I really wanted to do the colours on this cover too, but I just didn't have the time. I think Nathan ended up colouring this one as well.
I wasn't really happy with Madrox on this cover, luckily the 50 (or more accurately the negative space) covers him up. I also noticed I forgot to ink some lines on Rictor's hand. I wonder if it's too late to make corrections (or if I even have time).
Aside from my inking of Rictor's hand, one of my favourite parts of this cover is Rictor hugging Shatterstar. It's funny I've seen people online commenting on how that hug seems like a f*** you from Peter David and Marvel aimed at Rob Liefeld (on CBR Rob objected to his creation being made Gay in X-Factor, and got into a little "discussion" with Peter David and others over there). Truth is, the hug was just something I threw in. The body language of the characters just worked with what had recently been established in the interior pages, so I thought it made a nice touch.
As always pencils and inks by me. Colours by Nathan Fairbairn (I think).
X-FACTOR #50
Written by PETER DAVID
Penciled by VALENTINE DE LANDRO
Cover by DAVID YARDIN
Worlds and times collide in this double-sized conclusion to the year long storyline that has revitalized X-Factor. Will the Summers Rebellion triumph as is supposed to happen...or will it be derailed? Will Madrox make it back to his own time? Will Siryn, Monet and the rest of the team have their final showdown with Cortex? Will we actually learn just how it is that Layla Miller knows stuff? Will someone die? The answer to at least some of these questions is: Yes.
48 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

Hahaha I read through that entire discussion. When PAD said he'd have Guido asking Shatterstar whether he liked Gladiator movies, & then seeing that in that issue I just... giggled like mad. I look forward to a cover with just the two of them someday...
