Uncanny X-Men 141
Back to Marvel this week with a book that most collectors know about, Uncanny X-Men 141. This is the beginning of the Days of Future Past storyline in which we see what might happen in the future to that special part of the population born with the mutant X-gene. The results aren’t the best for the X-Men and mutants in general but this is one of the more popular storylines in X-Men lore. The cover to 141 was also pretty popular and spawned some pretty creative cover swipes.
 Uncanny X-Men #141 If this cover doesn’t make you want to find out what happens in the pages of this book, I don’t know what will. Why does Wolverine look so old? Why are his X-Men teammates on the poster behind him listed as “Slain”?? One of John Byrne’s finest works. |
 Tales of the Teen Titans #52 Cheshire doesn’t seem to be a big fan of the Teen Titans… |
 Superboy v4 #27 Another DC homage with Superboy and Knockout. Do the rival comic companies need to ask permission to copy covers? |
 Noble Causes #3 Sad to say but I have never heard of this series. Kind of cool to see all the image heroes in the poster on the wall. |
 Alpha Flight v3 #9 Proof that homage covers sell? I picked this issue of Alpha Flight up striclty because of the cover. A sucker and his money are soon parted! |
 New X-Men #26 Wolverine’s daughter pays tribute to her dad with a cover tribute … get it? |
 Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Last Generation #1 Love this one. Not a Star Trek fan but love the way it looks exactly like Uncanny 141. I would buy this if I stumbled across it in a shop. |
 Deadpool #7 Seems like Deadpool is not only a copy of Deathstroke but likes to copy covers as well. |
 New Mutants #17 The Super-Hero Squad variant to this issue looks great in my opinion! |
 Darkwing Duck #12 Another Darkwing Duck cover has been brought up in a few people’s hauls recently. Looking on the internet, it seems like a lot of the covers from this Darkwing Duck series were homages to other famous covers. |
 G.I.Joe #5 Exactly what a collector of homage covers would want in a cover swipe. This one is going on the want list! |
 G.I.Joe: Snake Eyes #5 Make that 2 going on my want list! |
 G.I.Joe: Cobra #5 I’ll have to finish the set off with this one. |
 Captain America #6 This time its Cap and the Avengers that are in a pickle! |
 Amazing X-Men #13 Rocket and Groot have been swiping covers since Groot was just a sapling … what the eff is a sapling??? |
 Guardians of the Galaxy #1 Phantom Variant Ah the ol’ Phantom Variant … Trey’s favorite line of exclusive covers! |
There were plenty more homages to Uncanny X-Men 141 but these were my favorites…if you don’t like them write your own damn article!
Last but not least…I found another homage to Amazing Spider-Man 300 today digging through the bins:
Web of Spider-Man #50
I wanted to get this but my LCS had a shitty copy … I’ll just have to find another one in my hunts! Until next week…thanks for reading!
