Mike McGee’s X-Men ’97 print for Bottleneck Gallery is built like a character wheel, with Wolverine planted up front while Beast crouches at his side, Cyclops and Jubilee anchor the right, Rogue at top left, and Jean floats above them like the team’s axis. Around that core, McGee packs the artwork with a season-spanning roll call: Magneto looming behind the group, Storm streaking across the upper right, Gambit and Professor X tucked into the inner ring, while the outer rings contain a bevy of allies, villains, and episode-specific faces that turns the whole composition into a quick history of the show. The four giclée editions all work off that same layout, but the color changes give each one a different read. It’s a smart format for X-Men ’97, a series that thrives on ensemble movement and constant character turnover, and McGee makes room for both the headline heroes and the deeper bench without the image feeling overcrowded. All four prints release through Bottleneck Gallery this afternoon at 12PM ET.
