Description

Hard to say exactly why I chose this page out of the 44 spectacular pages in this book, but I wanted one showcasing the jeering mob, hand lettering, a scary monster, a closeup of our hero, that nutty announcer, pathos, humor, a touch of gross, and abject terror. As much as I love the penultimate panel with Straxx crouching for the kill, my favorite panel is at the bottom with our man perspiring as he spies the doomed "gladiator" fleeing as any sane person would.

The dialog on this page made me wonder --- do non-artists know what burnt umber means?

I'm absolutely amazed at Harren's visual inventiveness and his storytelling is wonderful. This genre is so new to me, I had to read the 1st issue a couple times to understand what was going on, but by issue 3 the story has become so compelling to me that I've been marking my calendar for each new release.

Kudos once again to Felix for a smooth and enjoyable transaction.

Thanks for taking a look!

A symphony of monster mayhem! Harren is a conductor of imaginative energy on to the page.

Cheering kaiju, fear vomit and Straxx masterfully rendered. What is not to like here? Love this page. Congrats!!!

New nightmare: Being caught underneath a kaiju vomit spray. :Shudder: I dig Harren's style, and I'm loving the pages I'm seeing from this series. Heh, and I love the idea of a kaiju battle announcer. As for Burnt umber, it's just a shade of brown, no? Ultramega is now on The List. Kaiju-sized congrats!

Yes, of course, just a shade of brown, but I think I only know that from buying tubes of oil paint and water color sets --- not what I expect to trip off the tongue of a WWF announcer or color commentator, say, unless Dennis Miller is on the job perhaps.

Thanks for your comment, Keith! If it's any consolation, I'm still pining for the page I missed out on from the previous book in this outrageous series. The good news is that every page is so strong that whatever one can get is a winner. Hope some future issues get broken up...

lol me too! i've had such horrible luck in the Ultramega drops! At least I was able to get a contingency page from #3. I would enjoy getting some vindication in a future drop, if one is made available. This page sir, is AMAZING! Congrats again!

I would run away as fast as I could too, if I had to face that monster. Harren perfectly captures the fear of the gladiators as well joy of the crowd. Fantastic page! Congrats!

I think this is one of the better pages of Issue #3. It really has everything. I love the monsters at the top, and then the facial expression in the bottom panel. So so good.
