AVENGERS 12 PAGE 12 SPLASH BY ED MCGUINNESS & MARK MORALES

Yep Werewolf in Space fighting space Vampires certainly checks many Halloween season boxes! And with some fantastic McGuiness/Morales art no less. Very cool connection/reference to Darkstalkers as well (love those 90s Capcom fighting/arcade games!). One post away from 50 in your McGuiness gallery, wow! congrats. 

And yet ANOTHER page by the same artist in your collection! Sheesh, and people often ask me why anyone would want to own quantity of any given artist. To them I say: THIS is why! Why WOULDN'T you want to have as much art from the same artist if you really love their art? Anyway, I love monsters, I love space and I really dig McGuinness, so big props to you for adding another one!

Big and bold McGuiness and Morales action!  Rise of the Lychans in this space faring adventure!  All the glitz and glam of a flagship title is showcased on the page!

I don't remember this scene from Lifeforce...

Werewolf in space for the win! 

Nice add for the season.  Cheers!

Wow this pages has impact! Awesome depth by McGuinness and those inks by Morales - soo good!

Wow! Werewolves versus Vampires--In outer space! That's the best premise for a story since "Snakes on a plane!" To top it off, it's drawn by two of the best artists working today--Ed McGuinness and Mark Morales! Absolutely stunning splash page here! Love this scene of a Werewolf grabbing a space vampire by the throat and choking him to death! Beautifully composed by McGuinness, your eye first sees the Werewolf and then follows down his arm to the Space Vampire gasping for breath. Morales' wonderful inks really make the scene pop! Fabulous pick-up, congrats!

Right?  Werewolf fighting space vampires is one of those "why didn't anyone do this sooner... and more importantly, why aren't they -STILL- doing it?!?" things, isn't it?  And Ed's art here is just as slam dunk golden as that idea.  Just as you say, "explode" is the -perfect- way to describe this thing, as the small upper panel sets the stage perfectly ("fuse" and all) for the enormous explosion of energy and page real estate given over to John Jameson's unique method of problem solving.  (It does make you wonder, though, exactly what the lunar vs. solar lycanthropic hierarchy would be in open space...  Is it just proximity to a moon or sun that determines the state of change?  And will -any- moon work, or is a transformation specifically regulated by -Earth's- moon...?  Can't wait to re-read this issue to get Jason Aaron's thoughts on this: judging by this page, it sure looks like he spent valuable time setting up all those rules... 😜 ).  Fantasmagoric page, Fred!  A 10.0 on the fun scale, with gorgeous inking to support the raw power and energy Ed seems to effortlessly infuse his work with.  GREAT Halloween add, pal! 

Ed's Man-Wolf rendition kills.  Really dig the elongated limbs, namely the choking arm here!  Congrats!
