That's pretty dang sweet.  I love original art.  I really dig the way Logan looks.  There's so much expression there even though there's a lot of shadow.  Original art simply looks awesome hanging on your wall.  I'm tempted to make an alternate account and do a video in a disguise to get a shot at this.

@G-Man: Sneaky! Too bad you revealed your plan...

Yeah but if I get a really good disguise, like a fake mustache, no one will be able to prove it.

People have seen you with a handle bar mustache, remember? People might recognize you because of that, I'd get a wig if I were you.

I really like the extra touch you did with your hair for the video, Babs. Very classy.

How exciting! Definitely worth some play time. 
 
Calero's has such a strong graphic look. He's perfect with the way he uses silhouettes and shadows to capture that oppressive seedy 1930s prohibition era New York. I thoroughly enjoyed the first volume of X-men Noir and I believe I'll love the second. I just hope they simplified the palette. Whoever did the coloring muddied Calero's bold line work and darks.

Sweet look'in art!

Calero's art is definitely worth it.

Dig Deeper into Wolverine

A long-lived mutant with the rage of a beast and the soul of a samurai, James "Logan" Howlett's past is filled with blood, war, and betrayal. Possessing an accelerated healing factor, enhanced senses and bone claws that, along with his skeleton, are coated in adamantium, Wolverine is the ultimate weapon.
