Description
A cover I did before I went to the U.S.Pencils and inks by me. Colours by Nathan Fairbairn I think? (I can't see the sig properly, and I'm only just seeing the coloured version now myself)
X-FACTOR #48 & 49
Written by PETER DAVID
Penciled by VALENTINE DE LANDRO
Cover by DAVID YARDIN
Cortex stands revealed! Or does he? The plan of the president's science team threatens Madrox and Layla! Or does it? Shatterstar gets a milkshake! Or does he? It's all going according to the plan of Doctor Doom! Or is it?
32 PGS.(each)/Rated T+ ...$2.99 (each)

In the bedroom maybe (if you're into that), but not out in public.

I heard a rumor, which I could neither confirm nor deny through teh interwebs, that X-factor will be canceled in a few months. Do you know anything about this?
Great work on the covers. This is one of my favorite books in the known universe, so I'm hoping and praying that it continues!

Thanks. I did know about it, but it isn't really my place to say anything about stuff like that.

Thanks for that! On his blog, PAD said there would be an official announcement from Marvel, but wouldn't say anything more. We all thought it was being axed, and he was mum about it. I love x-factor and that would break my little heart!

i agree!
it was only yesterday i think that joe q announced it in an interview... i think at comicbookresources.com...
for awhile there it seemed in the air, was peter david joking? or are they switching the number scheme like they did with spider-man, hulk, daredevil, thor, captain america... back to 200, since the original run made it to issue 149

Cool cover image. Don't worry about the M tattoo missing. Just say she covered it with makeup. That's what they did in the comics.
I love the summary for this issue. It's so goofy.
I'm looking forward to the day when Ruby gets on a cover. She's a cool character and looks hot.
In fact, I'd like to see Ruby and Emma on a cover one day of both of them in their jeweled forms. It could be called "Precious Ladies" or "Family Jewels". lol

I still haven't drawn Ruby yet, and I'm not sure what Peter has in mind for her.

I think there might be something in mind for her. Though I doubt too soon. The Ruby we know in the comics is probably almost ninety years old. She's been in her Ruby form for seventy years.
Reading what Peter David has written. Ruby seems to know Madrox pretty well. When they first met she roughly said something about this not being their first meeting 'to her'. I think when Ruby was younger she traveled to the past for some time. It's probably something they are saving for later.
It's that, or Marvel is planning on having Scott and Emma have a baby in story. Lets hope that would work out better then it did for Mary Jane or Sharon Carter(Cap's girlfriend).

Multiple Man is in the middle and then clockwise, starting at 10 o'clock are Siryn, Strong Guy, Rictor, Darwin, Monet, Longshot and who I can only assume is Layla Miller, but I she doesn't seem to have the "M" over her right eye.

Thanks chief! How did Layla go from 15 to 22? I thought people didn't age in comics except for Kitty Pryde.

I haven't got around to reading all the issues yet, but it's to do with her getting stuck in the future.

Ooops! That's two mistakes I've made while inking... It was there at the pencil stage, but I was rushing this and #50 out so fast looks like I missed inking some details.
