Description

Featured on Comic Art Fans Update 285.

I had a vision for Tom and he manifested my imagination into this massive interconnected piece. It truly is my Ultimate Alliance!

In 2006 Ultimate Alliance released for Xbox 360: "After the new Masters of Evil attacked the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier in the name of Dr. Doom, Nick Fury decided to create a superhuman task force called "the Ultimate Alliance" in order to defeat Doctor Doom and the Masters." 

I have thousands of hours playing that game, making endless combinations of teams. Cyclops was always my lead, with a rotation of Symbiote Spidey, Ghost Rider, Colossus, Thing, Daredevil, and Cpt. Marvel. I have many fond memories of playing co-op with my friend Paul. Flash forward to 2022...

As soon as I received my epic Cyclops and Jean piece from Tom, I had a vision for this project and it has never diminished. Tom was so wonderful really thinking through how best to accomplish connecting the pieces. We went all in together with four 11x17s with thirteen total characters. I am eternally grateful that Tom was willing to take this on, and the dedication Tom showed. I can honestly say I have nothing like this in any of the other commissioned artwork I've ever gotten. 

Each character shines! Daredevil twisting his cane in the back a Doombot. Ms. Marvel sweeping the board. Nightcrawler teleporting to the foreground. Captain Marvel smashing through a giant doombot. Tom's Ghost Rider gives me such joy, maniacal as ever. Tom loves those chonky guys and Colossus is deserving of being essentially the whole fourth panel! While the cast is not accurate to the game, I liked having Emma and Scott together. The game makes you choose between Nightcrawler and Jean. If you choose correctly you save Nightcrawler so Jean wouldn't be a part of the final battle. I love Strange, Wanda, and Bucky going straight for Dr. Doom. I love Bucky trying to grab Odin's staff, total Bucky move. 

What also stands out with Tom's work is his insane ability to manage an extremely dense composition layering hundreds of figures on top of one another. I love how you feel the true scale of battle and can still feel Castle Doom looming in the background. I love the creativity with all the Doombots and I'm especially a fan of the flying waves of Doombots in the sky, which is perfectly reminiscent of the X-Men animated series "The Final Decision." There's a story in every inch of the piece. You lay out all four pieces/panels/pages and it just stretches out like mad. Tom did a video to see it all laid out watch here.

Also, yes, evoking the X-Men 1 covers is not lost on me. I challenge any artist to take on a task like this. Tom is a true hero and he even threw in a sketch of one of his affable space monsters inside his collection. If you haven't seen them, they are a daily jolt of joy. Thank you, Tom!

More than a couple handfuls. It took up my whole kitchen counter when I unpacked it. No idea how I'm gonna fit it on the wall either...

Exactly! Well said, Marcus. It's amazing getting to have that real brainwave/connection with an artist who can so clearly execute the vision.

I love that you love that it's symbiote Spidey! That was my favorite Spider-Man costume in the game. Easily could've gone for his regular suit or anything else, but I feel like the black suit works best for an illegal raid into Latveria to stop Dr. Doom from ending the universe.

Whoa! How will our heroes win? More importantly, where will you display this?

The odds do seem stacked against them! I am assessing whether I can make a new wall.

You're never too old to be down with the sickness! It really is a sick awesome piece, thank you.

Ha! Kavi, we keep deleting and replying to each other. Thank you, again. I'm glad you love UA too. Thousands of hours for real. We maxed every character. Such an absurb game, fighting Fing Fang Foom then going to Asgard and the Skrull Homeworld. I think I kept my save files on a drive when I sold the 360 ages ago.

Amen! Tom takes whatever character you give him, nothing else, and then goes wild. He always goes way above and beyond on every piece. Their complexity, number of added characters, and the density of the composition is just staggering!

He sure is, but I think Nightcrawler is stealing the show for me in this one. Great character lineup overall.

Thank you. It was quite the task finalizing the list in my own mind. I would be lying if I said I didn't keep a running list of characters I'd love to see in similar fashion. I love how Nightcrawler makes two appearances.

I told Tom, I hope that he isn't haunted by the endless Doombot faces. I guess Doom has some pretty good scientists and engineers.

Congratulations on adding this terrific piece to your collection! Is is Doom? Is it Doombot? Is it something else entirely? You'll never know until it's too late!

West, thank you! One should never underestimate Doom! I was adamant about him possessing the cosmic cube and the Odinforce, as such, he's incredibly formidable here. Whether he's a Doombot while the real Doom looks on... I'll never tell. Does give me a terrific idea though...

Eranga!! TY! When I saw your piece for OAX I wanted to scream that this was coming, but Tom finished maybe a week or two afterward. Made me think I was on to something since you're out here also laying down massive pieces that blow everyone's minds.
