    A Life In Comics: My, How You've Grown!
    A Life In Comics: My, How You've Grown!
    We've grown accustomed to seeing themed variant covers.  We've seen Wolverine Art Appreciation MonthIron Man By Design & Deadpool Month.  There have even been months celebrating 70 years of Captain America & the Fantastic Four.   And let's not forget the repeated Zombie & Vampire themed months.
     
    Look But Don't Touch: Rogue's A Goddess In Green!
    Look But Don't Touch: Rogue's A Goddess In Green!
    Marvel haven't announced anything, but a quick look down the solicitations for May 2011 revealed an Uncanny theme.  The phrase " X-Men Evolutions Variant" crops up again & again.   Each cover features one X-Man (or X-Woman) dancing across the page in a dazzling display of their personal fashion hits & misses over the years.   
     
    So far we know that 13 titles will feature these fashionable mutants.  The only wardrobes we've had a sneak peek of so far belong to Emma Frost, Kitty Pryde, Rogue & Sabretooth.  But there's no current indication of who else will appear. 
     

    The titles to look out for are: 

     
    Personally I think the various themed months are cute & sometimes funny.  However, they have yet to convince me to part with any extra cash for the pretty alternative art.  But so far I like the look of these X-Men Evolutions.  It really drives home how far a character has 'evolved'. For instance, Kitty Pryde has blossomed from a little feisty kid into a strong & confident young woman (yet she's not seen sporting her current Mr Freeze-esque goldfish bowl... gee, I wonder why).  Also, the quality of art seems to range depending on which artist has drawn the cover.  Yet so are I think the Emma Frost cover is the most dynamic yet (even though her wardrobe hasn't changed that much).  If Emma looks so natural posing, imagine how former fashion model Psylocke will look!

    A Vision Of Blinding White
    A Vision Of Blinding White

    So with just over a dozen covers (and one wasted on Sabretooth), who else do you think will have a chance to shine on their own cover?  Cyclops, Magneto & Wolverine seem like natural choices.  But who else would you like to see?  By which artist?  And would you be willing to pay extra for their cover?

    This is the first I've seen or heard of them but I adore them. I'd pay for the Emma one for sure.

    I'd know he's nowhere near the top of the list, but I'd like to see Havok. I think out of all the X-Men, he's has the most drastically different costumes...

     I noticed the covers in the solicits and I must say I've enjoyed all of them thus far.
     
    As a gambling man, I say Wolverine will be featured in one. I'm betting on a dark horse, I know.

    Shocking, isn't it? He's such an underused character.

    All I can say is, while Emma and Sabertooth had very beautiful pieces of art for variant covers (that are sure to belong as wall poster rather than variant over-priced covers) Rouge and Kitty are not getting the star-treatment love. 
     
    I won't be buying these, but I wonder if this has anything to do with X-Men: Prologue

    I like Emma's one here the best, just for the composition (and well art) I wish Rogue's had a bit more zing. Professor X will go from him sitting to standing, to sitting then standing... (unless that decide to let him get a bit freaky with his Morlock uniform ;) 
     
    Awh man i miss me some old Rogue uniforms. Beasts one should be fun. Psylocke's is going to be confusing... wouldn't mind a Dani Moonstar one myself, she had some cool looks.

    @jrh7925: Havok?  Black with white circles, black with white circles, black with white circles, Goblin loin cloth, black with white circles... ;) 
     
    @riri4life:  Yeah, Storm is pretty much guaranteed to be one.  I bet that one will be in demand ;)  It'd be worth it for the mohawk alone! 
     
    @Morpheus_:     Who is this... Wulvereen you speak of?  I'd love to the see the 'evolution' of Beast too.  From speccy college athlete to grey fluffy, blue fluffy,
     

    @iLLituracy: Sadly, Kitty's still wearing the dork suit in all the other solicitations.  I think they've just gone for the more iconic & recognisable images.  The human light-bulb does nothing for her.
     
     
    @sora_thekey:  Yeah, they would definitely make great posters!  In fact, they'd be better as posters than as comic covers :)
     
     
    @eldestrisk: Cyclops will be varying blue body condomns with a black leather jacket thrown in the mix ;)  But I'd personally like to see Angel :) 
     
     
    @TypingKira:   Which one do you want to know the artist for?  All the ones who've been announced so far are listed in the OP :)
     
     
    @haydenclaireheroes:     Cool!  The Kitty one was the first one that caught my eye :)
     
     
    @oldgum:  Oh, I'm sure there'll be a Deadpool too!  DP in red & black, DP in black & red, DP in orange & blue, DP in black & white...
     
     
    @Virus_Warning:     Ooooh, yes!  A Cannonball cover would be nice!  But I suspect he & the other New Mutant graduates wont have a chance to shine. 
     
    @doddy:      I thought that too.  But Gen X & Cable's X-Force have pretty much been swept under the carpet & ignored :( 
     
    @SC:  Ha ha!  Xavier in various seated & standing poses!! :D

    This made me lol so hard. It's probably true though.
     
    The Emma variant is my favorite, but like someone else said, they should have included one of her Generation X costumes. Either the jumpsuit with yellow boots or her white leather teacher outfit. 
    I actually like Rogue's... not as dynamic as it could've been but the costumes chosen were pretty good.

    I know she probably wouldn't get drawn, but I would LOVE a Moonstar one. She is one of my favorites, and her fashion has changed quite a bit over the ages... godkiller bad@$$ery would be worth it alone.

    I kinda like them. Might try to get the Emma one, at least. Wish they were actually on relevant comics, though. It's a weird trend of slapping on variant covers that have nothing to do with the actual title (e.g. the Super Hero Squad variants).

    @nicknicholby: Oh yes!  Although she's not the fashion diva she used to be... Artists are so lazy, they keep drawing her in the NextWave red dress.   
     

    @jordama: They weren't announced, it was just some of them popped up in the solicitations.  I'll keep an eye out, buthopefully other people will add them if they find more :)

    Im a big fan of those covers just because I ike seeing a character's progression and it's fun to see some of their old costumes 
    But emma doesn't really have much variation in her look so her's bores me XD

    Although I love art like this Rogue's are just awful her Eyebrows are non existent and it has no dynamic like Emma heck Kitty's wasn't too bad.
