What do you get when a low-level nerd with basic photoshop skills spends an afternoon reminiscing on his college days? This. This is what you get.
I call it “Beers of Future Past”. Conveniently, the headcount for the group of guys I spent time with in college matches the number of X-Men killed or captured in this arc's dystopian future. Once you get past the childish surface, this piece is all about perspective. It brings to light the feeling of isolation that comes about when everyone around you is moving forward in their lives. Watching your close friends take different paths is every mid-20s-person’s version of a dystopian future, whether your career path is taking longer, you haven't found an SO, or you're on a less traditional journey. But, just like with the X-Men, you too can use mutant powers to go back in time and interrupt events that will butterfly effect into an undesirable future reality.
Just kidding, we just don’t grab beers with these guys enough anymore and I felt like practicing some photoshop stuff. If you want your friends’ faces added to comic covers, just hit me up on Twitter or something and venmo me $5.
