There’s is no explanation for the atrociously bad X-Men: First Class posters that his the internet with a vengeance yesterday. Why Professor X’s head is popping out of his own blacked-out silhouette’s crotch is beyond comprehension.

So we won’t even try. What we will try is a contest where you, dear reader, make a better version of the poster. Up for grabs is a prize that I’m thinking about keeping for myself: a 1999 Lithographic recreation of the first “X-Men” issue cover drawn by the insanely talented Alex Ross (which you can see below).

How do you enter?

Like this:

1. Create a poster for X-Men: First Class.
2. Email it to us at editors@filmschoolrejects.com by Friday, March 11th
3. Cross your fingers.

We’ll announce the winner with a gallery of selected posters next Monday.

Ideal size would be around 640×860, but that’s just a guide.

One (1) winner will receive the 17 inch x 27 inch lithographic drawn by Alex Ross:

Have fun, and good luck!
