A sandy spectacular. He never fails to find the perfect pose, and going back to the original Ditko is always a winner. I have to get one of these, he just kills them all. Congrats!

Lol, so he knocked the POV on its ass, and it's laying there insensate? Ha, Jason, that is just a brilliant description. And Deathlok! That angle is perfect, and the image oozes badassery. Deathlok is clearly all out of bubblegum...time to kick some butt. Great splash!

Wolverine peacefully kneeling under a cherry blossom tree near a grave is definitely a whole vibe. I really dig this cover scene, it perfectly captures Logan, imo. Shalvey killed it. 

(Lol Marcus!) Oh, man, that color palette! Going dark with it, like he's catching the last ambient light before sundown, just looks so cool. And I love the pose and atmosphere in the background. Yeah, this would be hard to pass up, dude. Understood. Swinging high!

I just love how he makes the dark inks look universal. His detail is so crisp and solid on the page. And I really dig his Cankor work. I have a pretty sweet commission on the way to me from him, too. This is a really nice piece. Congrats!

Mine...does not look like that. Sorry, Wolvie...but this one is awesome! I remember this, too. Definite nostalgia bomb. I love how he detailed Wolverine, and that head forward stance with one arm at the ready is so aggressive and perfect. X-cellent! (Sorry, I'll flog myself for that last one)

I'm glad it wasn't 3000 years of longing for you. Wow, this is a lovely page, and packed with great detail and tricks. I really dig how Coleen used that wonderfully detailed robe as a key bit of the composition, drawing your eye through the image. And stripping out the lines from the water color (?) to create strong depth was a very successful choice. Someone clearly granted you three wishes, and you used them on art. 

This cover is so blazing it set off Pete's Spidey Sense! I remember this cover, and even picking it up as a back issue at MLCS. :) This one has it all, with heroes duking it out, webs and moon darts, a cringing Normie, full backgrounds, and even a slice through Spidey's costume. Pure awesomeness. Swinging high!

Oh, yeah, you can really see his style coming together here. I just got some work of his recently, so it's very interesting for me to compare it to yours, and the subtle changes he's made. Loved his 90s style, too. And what a great page! Dig that angle he took with the Batcave, and the great trophies he included. Sweet!

Oh, wow. Is that a mix of ink wash and gouache? Love the art that came out of this series, and this is an excellent example. Congrats!

Someone is about to have a really bad day. Or maybe they already did? We don't know what those balls and cubes are made of...Man, I'm right there with you on both Zaffino's work, and a goofy love for Molecule Man. Owen never looked more fierce. And all that awesome, chaotic but precise technique. So sweet. All covalent bonds in this piece!

That record! It has been years. I still have my copy, too, and I'm going to play it today thanks to you, Jason. :) I still laugh at gags that I'll recall reading as a kid. Old, bald Binkley coming out of the night terror closet to have a frank discussion about how lame "we're" gonna be with women? Then comes out the first girlfriend to sit on his bed with a monster peeking out to see his reactions? I'm chuckling right now. And I very well remember reading this one, too. We recapture tiny bits of our youth with each of these personal treasures we find. Thanks for the great comment as always, Jason!

Ack oop 🤘🏼

It was most certainly a good list of what not to do. :) Thank you, Marcus 

It is a lot of subtle US pop culture and political reference, so the humor could hit a bit flat for some audiences. It usually made me laugh, tho, like when Milo would work with his editor or Binkley dealt with his night terrors. It's so funny that you used to doodle Bill the cat, because I used to do that, too. Heh. Thanks, Rubén. 

Cats have the bizarre ability to have a litter of kittens with more than one father, so we may never know! Heck, it could even be Streaky...

I've always liked Larocca's style. It in the Yu vein, where you have great detail and grit, but inks were strategically left out to get a clean super-readable look. Love the windup and punch in the middle panels. And it's a great battle page with Pepper, too. I wonder if we see her in the movies when the new Avengers form? Again, you have some great friends, Jason. Sweet page!

Great point, Paul. One one hand, it's fun that he's a big all-powerful force of nature that is like a cosmic competitive eater. But my favorite stories are when Galan takes off the helmet and talks to Mr Fantastic, or we get a Sad Galactus storyline. One of my favorite pages is the Secret Wars page where he's looking sadly at his home, regretting what he has to do next. Simple but excellent posing choice here by, Del Mundo. Really nice one, Kahlil. 

I always enjoyed seeing Hulk do the spy stuff. It was an odd arc choice, but it worked, which is what we all want from a comic. :) I dig the Mission Impossible laser scene, and the layout, pencils and inks are all very good. The Hulk really has done it all!

Process! 😻 The best artists really work out everything about their characters, and you can see here why Sean Murphy hit the scene with such a bang. The whole character is right there, and he fills in character details like a novelist. And he made it look sweet and finished, too. Very cool add!

He even mentioned see the Big M wrasslin costume I've always loved. This is a killer Magneto commission. The layout and iterations chosen are excellent, and that lower right portion in the concentration camp is so poignant. He outdid himself. Mag-Neato!

This is one of my very favorite covers of his. It's such a simple but dynamic layout, and an excellent take on a Roll-Call covers. As you said, using those spot blacks to bring the central characters into focus was such a great choice. And he gave everyone nice detail and an on-character pose/look. Bachamazing!

Oh, wow. I'd forgotten about this one until right now. Nostalgia blast to the frontotemporal lobe! I remember this creepy crittery cover, and have it somewhere in a long box. Heh. I know I didn't catch the Door's reference the first time around. Love this 90s weirdness. Swinging!

Fronting for the coffin? Mighty big of you, Stilty. Hope it's not too much of a stretch. This really is a great focus, he's such a great baddie from the the heyday of the House of Ideas. And it's a great action page by McDaniel, as he does. Great find 

We even get a Yakov Smirnoff joke? Icing on the cake. This page is really excellent, btw. Looking past the humor, what a composition! Dig every bit of this transformation page. That last series of panels floated over the finishing transformation? Top notch. REK-RAP!

Lol, those holes in his socks! I am really liking what I see from this. Not only a Bizarro Spidey, but a Bizarro Venom Spidey that wants to be a hero in Limbo? He really is the Marvel Zibarro, imo. I'm in. 

She dragging him back to her cave? Ha! Love that switcheroo. And what a clever cover. Definitely not something you see every day! And with pencils like that, who needs inks? Congrats on getting a personal fav. SNU-SNU TIME!

Joker should use a mackerel, it has more stopping power, and doesn't jam as much. Firstly, happy birthday! I always enjoy your birthday posts. And this is a great one from your favorite artist (RIP). The line work really is exquisite, and so sharp. And that ink is applied BLACK! Those piles of bodies of eachs supporting casts is such an excellent detail. BANG!

Kl'rt! Man, I hope he has a part in Secret Invasion 🤞🏼. This is a sweet color commission from McKone. Love that menacing pose, and the nice wash/watercolor background. Totally pops. He did an especially  nice job with the Invisible Woman portion, imo, fading out the color and creating that fantastic translucent effect. We're invaded! 

Doctor Galactus? Nah, sounds too much like my dentist. Galactus Doom? Ehhh, it feels like an EDM band. Galactic Doom. Let's switch it up a little bit. I cut my teeth on What If, so alternate storylines are definitely my jam. That layout is so good, and Mr Wong really killed those inks. Great page, Kahlil! Cosmic 

IMO, some of the best pieces of art are the ones that show the artist's process in some way. This is a great design sheet from McGuinness. It's nicely finished, too, with his fantastic style. And, I want to get those masks! Especially that zombie one. C'mon Marvel! Do it

Glad you have that drink in hand, Orson, because your day is about to get worse. You know, those do look like SGM houses. It's something about the shading, I think. What a well-made page, where the atmospherics really do blow right off the panels. The wind-effect and snow haze are especially nice: I haven't read this one, but I really liked all the immortal iron fist stories. Especially in K'un-lun. And, your friend is a pretty cool dude. :) Congrats all around, Jason

By the Hoary Hoasts of Hoggoth, this is incredible! Colan strange is amongst his best work, and this Dormammu cover is a favorite of mine.  Dude, you win with this one. Ala-Kazam!

Gene Colan Approves! That dynamic angle Velluto used is so killer. The negative space in the middle giving depth while allowing the foreground and side details to pop. Subtly brilliant splash, imo. Ross is going to need some serious Dramamine. Congrats!

Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor. I sleep on a pillowcase with a color image of this page. Nuff said. Historic, awesome, beautiful. Excelsior!

Wow, so kind of a Bizarro Spidey? As you (and Rubén) said, what a fun concept! So simple to just spell his name backwards, too, but perfect. Zibarro was always one of my favorite concept characters. Heh, and I can tell I'll like Rek-Rap just from that pose. Sold, I'm checking it out! Another sweet Spidey page for you, Paul. Swinging high!

(Lol, Marcus. That's awesome) This is a great Brunner Warp page. Love the panel layout, and that first panel really grabs you. And when you can get some magic from him for a fraction of the usual cost? Winner winner chicken dinner. Congrats!

Love the subtlety of the action in this pose. Sitting or standing, you can just feel WW's readiness for action either way. And the line work and color job is so good, as you'd expect. Score!

Coffee Break Minion is my energy right about now. And maybe Nipple Peek Minion, too. Peek 🫣 Ok, this is about as cool as it gets. Marvel's Iron-Minions is the crossover movie we all want and deserve, imo. I'm Iron-Man....bwahahaha banana. 

What a great story choice, that was a personal favorite of mine, too. It was a great character arc, that added some nice depth to the Abomination. And, agreed with James, that tunnel effect is so well-done. And all the wash and shading! The choice to black out foreground tunnel gives this real depth. Great commission, as he does. 

Onomatoawesome! As you may have gleaned by now, this is totally my type of page. Action, onomatopoeia all over the joint, and I especially dig the layout and energy of those two first panels. You find great stuff, Lee. KRAKA-COOL! 

Does he do anything other than draw? With that level of detail, how does he even have time to eat, or take a shower? :) I love Bradshaw covers, especially from his FF run. I snagged one of those, too. And...DOOM! Large and in charge, as Kirby intended. Great score, Paul. Clobbered!

There might be easier ways to ride a motorcycle, but you do you, GR. Man, this cover bleeds 90s, I love it. Punisher really was ubiquitous through the decade, eh? I knew there was a reason I dug that decade. Great cover!

ZZZZZT! Yikes, the page wasn't grounded! I'm shocked! Heh, I love this page. It's a great moment from the series, and judging by the write-up, it's certainly in the right hands. Death approved!

"I said...have a happy new year. Now." I'm with you on those impossible odds pieces. I've fallen prey to a few in my collection, too. :) And that monster's detail just makes the piece. Even up that close, the difference in detail allows the eye to be a bit foreground and add depth. Super cool piece to end the year with. Happy New Year!

"Look, just shake my hand. No more joy buzzers, I swear!...snicker..." I always thought he was a fun, quirky design with the bald pate and wrasslers build and costume. No respect, I tell ya. Very nice work by Eranga here, with that ink wash and extra detail to focus you on his his eyes. His eyes...zzzzzz. Happy New Year!

I think I see 2022...in their dust! I like the bright optimism of this page, it just puts a smile on my face. And the angle he chose is excellent. Great piece to end the year. Cheers to your 2023!

You know I love this one. Such fantastic energy, and those last angled panels are a perfect choice. Very cool page. Happy New Year!
