The X-Men/Disney crossover art from Mark Brooks is being very well received on X.
@rhalegar responded to Brooks’ version of Magneto by simply stating, “An animated show with these concepts would be fire.” @Philsbackpack commented on Brooks’ rendition of Magik, writing, “Amazing and beautiful, never thought of these characters drawn in this style…I wouldn’t have guessed it was your art either.” Even his peers, including “Birds of Prey” writer Kelly Thompson (@79SemiFinalist), praised the X-Men’s Disney looks, as she tells Brooks, “I would watch a thousand episodes. It’s so gorgeous and fun. That’s like the cutest Kitty I have ever seen.”
Looking at the positive reception to Brooks’ art and the fact that Disney owns the characters, having paid a pretty penny to acquire the rights to them, the inspired redesign shows the potential this version of the heroes and villains holds. It would be a real shame if Marvel Comics (or Marvel Animation) didn’t do something official with them. Marvel has already reimagined some classic Disney characters as X-Men and Avengers, so reversing the concept with Brooks’ art for a variant cover program seems like a no-brainer. These designs are so on-point that they’d be an easy sell to Disney and Marvel fans alike.
For those hoping to see more than the eleven X-Men Brooks has redesigned in the Disney style, you’re in luck. The artist told fans that he’s already drawn 40 of them, so expect to see more heroes and villains who haven’t been tackled yet, likely including mega-popular ones like Wolverine, Cyclops, and Jean Grey, sometime in the near future.
