Skottie Young Draws AVENGERS VS. X-MEN (Sort of)

by Tony 'G-Man' Guerrero on February 28, 2012

Is it too late to swap in Skottie's art for the entire 'event'?

There are so many times I'll be reading a comic and wonder "What if ___ had drawn this comic?" A great writing and art team works wonders together. Even the best script and stories can have their entire vibe changed by the way the comic is drawn.

We've been seeing a lot of teasers and promos for the upcoming AVENGERS VS. X-MEN crossover drawn by several different artists. Today, Skottie Young Tweeted his Midtown Comics variant.

There are no words to describe how badly I'd love a series like this or even just this variant cover. Reminiscent to his X-BABIES covers, this is pure genius.

Is there anyone out there that could get a copy for me?

Perfection. Skottie Young is on a level of his own. His art inspires me.

I freakin love this! There are a few characters who I don't know who they are they... like the baby getting zapped up by storm?, and the blonde baby next to beast and the weird yellow and black thing behind him?

- Even baby Emma looks like a ball buster

This is such a fun cover, I would totally buy this variant if it was printed!

Li'l Emma Frost poking Daredevil in the eye! BWAHAHAHAH! God i love Skottie Young's work. I could care less about the actual X vs. A series, but this? This i would buy.

A spin-top hat on Thor, lol. That's what is making me how with laughter, for it is adorable as all hell!

I would say the one getting zapped is Black Panther. The yellow and black thing is Warlock.

Posted by Overlander - February 28, 2012 at 3:32 PM

Awesome! I would love a full-blown poster of this for my kids' room.

Posted by feargalr - February 28, 2012 at 3:34 PM

@spiderbat87: Awesome thanks! Any idea about that blonde baby?? Its really bugging me now haha

Posted by caliberstone - February 28, 2012 at 3:40 PM

@feargalr: I think the blonde baby may be Dazzler.

Posted by TheGoldenOne - February 28, 2012 at 3:41 PM

Cute.

Oh dear lord. I NEED THIS.

Posted by frochez - February 28, 2012 at 3:44 PM

I think my favourite has to be Dr. Strange. They could definitely do this as a parody of the event, but with Mojo setting the X-Babies against the Lil' Avengers. Don't know how you'd portray Hope/Phoenix, though. Using the same scale of ageing as the other characters, she'd be a superpowered foetus....

Posted by Jonny_Anonymous - February 28, 2012 at 3:46 PM

I love hoe Cap is missing a tooth

Posted by Baddamdog - February 28, 2012 at 3:53 PM

Awww - is that Rogue cut off on the edge of the cover, lol? Love the look at Psylocke's face but my fave has got to be Thor. That spinning beanie hat.....

Definitely adorable. I am the only one who wants to see little Cyclops and Emma holding hands?

Also, even here we see the futility of Iron Man going up against the Master of Magnetism.
