A Bergara piece I return to again and again. The defiant expression. Just perfect.

Always liked this cover! You can feel the force Flash generates against the ground through those front knuckles.

From your lips to CB Cebulski's ears!

This was a favorite of mine from the issue, too. Congrats on picking it up!

So great! Lee's style is among my absolute favorites- I love how done with it Sue is here. Congrats!

Incredible page- tons of action, Abs Bats going further than Bats would ever go, and a few shots of the things that make the suit unique. Big winner from issue 1!

Gotta love the mirrored poses with each reaching out in opposite directions. And super fun to watch it come together on Juni's livestream!

What a delight this Allred issue was, in the middle of the Rivera-Samnee run. There are two pages from the issue I can see when I close my eyes, and this is one of them. Fantastic!

That top panel is spectacular. Very horror-movie worthy. Congrats dude! Great choice from that drop. 

Few do a better Human Torch than Paolo Rivera! Congrats, this is a beauty.

Incredible JRJR example! This is right up there with the wraparound #1 cover of his Thor run. And the Wizard covers somehow hold an even stronger nostalgia than the covers from the run, for me. Explain that? I can't.

Nice one, Tyler- I mulled this one for a lot of the same reasons you named in your description. You have great taste! 😅

I remember the right side of this cover being used as the ad for mail-in subscriptions to Marvel when I was a kid! That alone is as nostalgic as most of the issues from its era. Awesome to see it surface, and in a great collection like yours!

About as memorable as a page gets from the Sal B Spectacular era. Mega congrats!

Wonderful last panel- that could be a cover in and of itself! Humberto is a god.

Whoaaaa! The last panel! How many Spidey poses ever feel that fresh? 

As good as it gets for a legendary era of X-Men comics from a creator that will always be associated with these characters.

I go back and forth on whether this or the Mythos series is my favorite of Paolo's work- a DPS like this is a strong mark in the DD column! Who had Mole Man and his minions working as such an effective DD villain? Waid and Rivera, and they were sooo right. Congrats on a mega example!

Now THAT is cool. Congrats on a true rarity- the other versions have been really fun to see come out, and I love the additional characters, but this one has to feel special.

Outrageously good. One of those where the colors are so vibrant and perfect, people will think it's a print. Bravo!

The bag! The goggles! The "I have a secret you don't know" expression!

I'd like to nominate this one for next year's commemorative Heroes Con '25 magnet.

Perfect two-page set from a classic issue. These would have been my choices, too. Congrats on a done-in-two example of the Sal Buscema era, and the peak of the Harry Osborn Goblin story.

Great to see on Paolo's IG that this was recovered and finally arrived! Congrats on one of the true modern classic ASM covers. A perfect image. 

Perfect tribute- giant monsters, and Murf channeling the shred to put a hurtin' on them!

Came out so damn good! Congrats man!

And two bonus stupid, stupid rat creatures!

Just classic images of Spidey from an iconic era- I like it all the more for the omission of Hulk. The spinning top-right panel feels like a hallmark of this era's Spider-Man. Congrats on a great win!

It would be easy to pore over its details all day- the micro of all the faces in the crowd, the story's climax and subversion of our expectations, and DWJ bringing it all home with one of his best stories to date. Can't wait to see the rest.

I'm glad they didn't wait too long to pay off the premise! A book about both Spider-Men had to have a good old-fashioned throwdown. Another feather in your Ramos cap!

Banger DPS! What a buffet of characters and perfect DP placement, taking them all in. Congrats on a huge score!

Man- I forget how awesome Weeks' Spidey is, and then I see a page like this one. Gotta love a dodging and decking page!

Whoa! These do not come up. Great addition!

I'm a huge fan of Riley's, but for some reason I haven't picked this story up yet- this page will change that! I love the worlds he creates. Great example here of that very thing. 

Nothing better than good friends in the hobby! Congrats on working something out for this wonderful cover. 

Such a unique book. Your pages capture a nice cross-section of its  aesthetic.

Unforgettable page! Burned in my childhood memory forever.

Great chatting with you at FanExpo Denver- I still think this was an amazing choice from Quitely!  👍🏼

Dekal is immediately recognizable, and always gorgeous. Whatever spiritual assistance you had, they guided you well!

He draws everyone so well. Psylocke is my favorite here, but he does a great Spidey, a great Black Cat, every X-Men character here... quickly climbing the ranks of must-commission artists in my mind. Congrats on a nice result!

Larraz shows his mastery extends well beyond the X-Men he's redefined over the last few years! Brilliant choice here - the battle damage is perfect.

The dream- to have a trademark sneer of one's own! (Awesome cover, btw)

Every time I see a piece from this legendary run, I think about how Mike mastered each of the characters. His Thing is iconic, the first issue shows his and Waid's absolute command of Reid's character, but he drew Johnny flamed on like nobody else. Great to see this one featured, and congrats on an amazing example from a GOAT run.

Wonderful work from Chrissie- she's been on my list for a few years now, and hard to think of a better example of her work than this Rogue. Lovely, Kin!

Fantastic! This entire series is transporting - perfect for a series celebrating travel.

Vascular Venom!

That last panel just makes ya wanna astral project!

Love the dog with the C-4, ready to cause even more destruction elsewhere.

I was in the room! Seriously, though, great piece. I mentioned this on one of Pat's JAL pieces, but the depth and layers he achieves, even with limited color, is astonishing. Really excited for you!

You said it- the layered effect is incredible. It adds such depth to the piece and makes you sink into the world. Very cool getting to see his work in person this weekend!
