What is Alan Davis' relationship to the upcoming Fall of the Hulks mini-event from Marvel? Nothing direct, unless you count this item.

By now you've probably seen this promotional image by Ed McGuinness, showing all the various Hulks (I like to think of them as The Hulk Family) scattered about a barren landscape, utterly devastated by some unknown conflict.

McGuinness was paying a tribute 1988 poster by Alan Davis, which advertised "The Fall of the Mutants", This event ran during the summer through X-Men, X-Factor, and New Mutants. If you compare the two, you'll see a lot of similarities between the positioning of the foreground characters.

Update: I just found original black and white version of this drawing...
