X-Factor 40 Cover Lineart

This is the lineart for the first of my regular X-Factor covers, which will be out in February 2009. While I'm more than happy I've got the gig , I'm a bit bummed I get the stories spoiled for me now , as X-Factor is one of my favourite reads .

Anyway I did a few layouts for this cover, and of course editorial picked my least favourite , so this one took me a while to do, and only came along with much kicking and screaming. I do like that this cover is story related though.

“SLINGS AND ARROWS”
You remember John Maddox, right? He’s the one dupe that Jaime Madrox never reabsorbed. Family man. Pastor. All around decent guy. Well, he’s having a really really BAD day. And things are going to get worse when an armed Madrox comes knocking on his door. He’s looking for answers that only a man of the lord can provide and if Madrox doesn’t like what he hears, it may very well be the last sermon that John Maddox ever delivers…
