Doing the cover for X-Men '97: The Art and Making of the Animated Series was a great privilege. 
The content of this book fills me with pride and happiness, and holding it in my hands is a dream come true, a dream I've had since childhood. Those who know me from that time attest to my love for @xmentas 
I couldn't be more grateful to work surrounded by people, so talented, professional, and passionate about the show.
Thank you, Marvel Animation.

Big congrats to the X-Men ‘97 crew who poured all their passion and talent into making the best version of their childhood memories come to life! It’s been a challenging but rewarding journey and I’m so happy you all get to enjoy the fruits of our labor. Sidenote: I chose the image above because I did the rough layout and animation alongside my good friend @mystery_meat. Today, I would also like to thank all of the uncanny students and faculty of the Mutant Academy: Studio MIR, for pushing the medium forward and knocking this one out of the park! This style is no joke / 
Our Line Producer Sean Gantka for getting the team together and steering the ship / Jake Castorena our supervising director who pushed us to be our best / Beau DeMayo who wrote an epic story and set the tone. I’m here to see through to his vision / Our episodic directors Chase Conley and Emi Yonemura who led the best storyboard teams to victory through their incredible execution / Anthony Wu our production designer (I love making art w you!) and Roger Oda our Art Director-The meanest art boy on this planet / Marty Walker for his amazing animations and leading our retake animation team like a superstar / Nas Pasha and Daisy Schofield, my two assassins of the rough animation department. Their blades cut the deepest / Chris Graff for making our FX legendary and leading your unbelievably talented FX team / Aisling Herbert for her sick compositing and leading our incredible compositing team / Priscilla Bojorge for wrangling the cats and bullying us when it helped ❤
Straight up, thank you to the entire X-Men '97 crew for making something we can be proud of🎉

To everyone, I hope you enjoy the show!
