That Homage in Astonishing X-Men #59

A little late to the party, but I finally got around to reading Astonishing X-Men #59 (almost a month since it’s been out) and this page just jumped out at me.

Recognise anyone?

That’s right! Last year in December, the talented and lovely Marjorie Liu tweeted this:

Just put a Bruce Lee reference into Astonishing X-Men. It’s the small things that make me love my job.

But to actually see it with the book in my hands is awesome! Kudos to artist Gabriel Hernandez Walta for the brilliant rendition.

Here’s a picture of the original couple:
