Rob's Room: X-Men Grand Design by Ed Piskor

Am really looking forward to this book... you get the feeling Ed Piskor has been prepping for this project all his life!
Marvel announced that writer/artist Ed Piskor has been writing X-Men Grand Design for the past year and a half. It's a 240-page book that covers over THIRTY years of Uncany X-Men. Issues 1 to 280 specifically.  X-Men Grand Design will take 8000+ pages of Uncanny X-Men and distill them to a lean 240 pages book that will sum up all the stories and help get fans of X-Men caught up with their history!

The idea with the logo design was to merge the original and the iconic title lettering into one. The solution: keep the jagged “X” and the small “Men” from the Kirby X-Men but incorporate the memorable 3D from the Steranko lettering. “Grand Design” has many meanings.

Well, this post cost me $21.24, as I immediately ordered the previously unknown-to-me "Fried Pie Variant" of #1.

(I love when that happens, thanks!)

Your pal in Milwaukee,

Haha! Thanks for the post, Jim. It makes me happy to know my posts are costing other suckers... ahem... fans money too! ;)
