Description We decided to go with something a little different for this month's X-Factor cover.

Pencils inks and colours all by me.

X-FACTOR #220 & #221
Written by PETER DAVID
Penciled by PAUL DAVIDSON (#220) & EMANUELA LUPACCHINO (#221)
Cover by DAVID YARDIN


“Forgive Me, Father, For I Have KILLED!”
Hoping to be absolved of recently committed sins before she gives birth, Wolfsbane goes to confess…but it isn’t forgiveness that awaits her. In fact, she’s going to have to face her demons head on. Literally! (Oh, and that baby she’s carrying? Turns out that it’s not quite what she expected either.) The next X-citing chapter of X-FACTOR begins here!

32 PGS.(each)/Rated T+ …$2.99 (each)

Gasp, now I kind of want to threaten you until I know the truth. Oh the suspense! I keep hoping PAD will give me a birthday present and grant my wish.

It's powerful, especially to regular X-Factor readers. I am troubled by the absence of Strong Guy on this cover (unless that's his blood... *gasp*). Great work as always Mate, your X-Factor covers have yet to dissapoint.

Hey David! When I first saw it I wasn't sure if it was you but I have to say it's gorgeous! Did PAD have any input or is the whole cover your idea?
(We miss ya over on the Comic Forums!)

Thanks. The idea of doing X-Factor on a stained glass window came from my editor Daniel Ketchum (whether he got it from Peter David or not I don't know). Rahne in wolf mode, howling, was also part of another idea I was given in the brief for this cover. So I kind of ran with both of those and came up with this.

P.s. I still pop into the comic forums and have a quick read every now and then, but I don't think I've posted in a while.

Beautiful cover. A different style than usual but it tells a story in just one strong image. I haven't read the solicit for this issue yet, but I'm already eager to buy it just from the cover alone.

What an interesting cover!
The pencils and the inks are really lovely, but you did a really fabulous job on the coloring, especially considering we don't see it out of you very often.

Can't wait to own this issue!

davidyardin In reply to Yakkai [2011-03-21 06:22:56 +0000 UTC]

Yeah the lineart was kind of simple, and the colour is left to carry it, but I guess that's how most stained glass windows are, so I'm glad I got to colour this one myself. I've actually been colouring a few of my covers lately, so I've been enjoying it.

This cover is really wonderful, though! I can't wait to buy the comic just for this!

Thanks I hope it prints okay. I think I'm gonna do a little something different with this next cover too.

If it wasn't so much work, I'd say you should do your own coloring more often.

Actually I have been colouring a bit lately. X-Factor #220 & 219, X-Men #11, The Mighty Thor #2. X-Men Evolutions Variant , and hopefully the next three covers on my plate at the moment.

I believe in X-Force a little while back, not sure when exactly she found out though.

jmringuet [2011-03-21 00:44:25 +0000 UTC]

I think it's an interesting concept and it's very well done but it's a bit underwhelming for a cover Maybe the light rays coming through distract from the lineart.

davidyardin In reply to jmringuet [2011-03-21 00:49:09 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the feedback. I was a bit iffy on the light rays to be honest... there's going to be some text down the bottom too.
