Rootin Tootin Pew Pew Spawn!

I need to get up to speed on the Geiger ongoing, loved the initial mini & now that Simon is in the picture...need to get caught up! Excellent pick up my friend!

Very true! Great moment indeed! I'll eventually be posting another page I have from this issue that is actually Gunslinger Spawn but he looks like Spawn. Really fun issue!

Thanks Kavi! Yeah man, Booth's art on a Spawn book. Great artist & subject matter pairing to recapture that 90's Image vibe on a modern book! 

There were a few key images like this throughout (DPS of Gunslinger Spawn with wings, DPS of him in his new horse being two others), and the series as a whole felt like its sole reason for being was to get to the next "something cool" to see. It's still incredibly fun to flip through each of the issues for the art alone, but this issue stands out every time I revisit it.

People say I'm tough to buy for, I don't agree, I'm able to buy the perfect gifts for myself all the time! Congrats to knowing yourself and getting yourself such a wonderful gift!

Agreed! No untruths detected!

This art...is good art.

Yes!! Love this one! Tash is quite the interesting character and I love that we see what he has gone through to get to this point in the story! Huge Congrats, a page that they both worked on is quite special!

Fantastic cover from a fantastic series! Congrats!!

Holy schnikes, this is a fantastic page!! That issue is a special one and this page is incredibly memorable for anyone reading the series! Santa Bill for the win here for sure! Huge congrats my friend!

Thanks so much! The dad rage is all too real!

Yeah, so its a tricky one when it comes to crediting options here. That top left panel is ALL DWJ with Tash and his daugther. The rest of the page is ALL Riley.  

Now, as far as page layout I am assuming it was Riley first on these collaboration pages and then sent to Dan for him to draw his portion of the page (I feel like I head that in an interview somewhere, and that would make sense for Dan to then have all the completed pages including the ones that he drew solo). So its certainly possible Dan had to do some touch up work around Riley's lines here if there happend to be some overlapping, but I honestly can't tell.

Fantastic Joevember pick up!! You know I love this one!!

 Haha Seasons Beefings to you too!! That's so much!

Thanks so much! Story context aside, a man's battle with an inanimate object and the rage that can come from that is very relatable! Haha

...hmm, Tired Dads you say? I think you're onto something!!

Nitro has nothing on that car seat!

Thanks Steve!

Yes! I didn't realize you got this one! Congrats man!!

Most importantly, Duncan didn't carry the typical superhero tax! Probably the only way I'm able to buy a DWJ splash page in 2025!

The battle we never knew comics needed! Haha Thanks Kavi!!

This was definitely one of those unexpected epic moments when I turned that page. I appreciate your kind words, it was truly at the top of my wishlist to own. It just perfectly captures dad rage when it comes to battling an inanimate object!

Oh, heck yeah man!!

Clutch is a much better mechanic than he is a spy, clearly. Agreed, I love their pairing! Can't wait to see in a few issues once Duke finishes his desert holiday and learns about Clutch's new buddy!

Thanks Lance! That's me, Mr. Stuck in the Energon Universe! Haha

"Wait, is there more Energon...in this Universe?" - Clutch, probably

Ok, so this is a killer duo on one board! Two of my favorites! Fantastic addition to the Joe designs you have from Tom!

Great Night Force duo here! Congrats George! I really love how uniform Tom has made these design pieces & it's great that so many of them get published in the books! 

I too forgot that I never posted it, meant to, but then just never did! Here we are, what 10 months later and I still can't believe how it all unfolded. Great story to go along with a momentous personal pick up! Can't beat that!!

If only...

Who cares about the story beat....it was printed on cardboard!!!

Thanks Miki! I really do feel quite fortunate with this one!

This story sure does get blamed for some negative aspects of the speculative 90's but at its core, this is a story that delivered & has stayed with me for 30+ years now. It was a great time to be a kid reading comics!

Thanks Kavi! Just a well balanced page all around, great exterior shot of a very important location that speaks to the grand plan thes villains are cooking up, and a real Vader & Emperor walking side by side type moment!

Who knew the cold hearted half terminator Superman was going to turn out to be a bad guy?!? haha

Thanks! Takes me right back everytime I look at it!

Good news, they are indeed! Felix mentioned on a recent unboxing video that it is going to be a book written by Dan with Riley on all of the art duties. I loved how well they worked together on this series and am thrilled to see that partnership continue!

Sidenote, really love this "FOR PENNY!!" page. Riley went off on these character designs and its awesome to see them all assembled here!

I...just wow. I can add no words to properly convey the beauty of this one. Congrats & glad that it finally made its way to you!

Thanks George! I keep seeing Tom debut new character designs as each new Joe character is introduced, and everytime I wonder if you had seen it yet! haha

Worth the price of admission for sure on that top panel, everything else is just sweet tasting gravy!!

So true, I feel like by the time I've posted them here, i've talked about them in numerous videos by now, it's almost to where I just want to post the page on CAF with no commentary, but then again, I always love reading the why's behind the purchase, so i refuse to leave the description blank.

Next one though, watch out, it might just be "I really like this page, it's cool"

Haha the No Nut Joe-vember...thank you for not letting that one die!

To your point though, yeah, such great foundational building blocks these stories and relationships have been!

Haha thanks Kavi! I mean, I don't want to be over here wasting peoples time by repeating myself do I? That's just disrespectful of me! haha

Thanks so much!! No worries, I do still have a few I need to post yet! No shortage of Energon pieces in this collection!

Agreed, these are my favorite versions of these properties since my youth, and its rare to have modern art tap so heavily into my nostalgic roots. These comics are for sure doing that. I can't wait to see what they do with the planned Energon Universe show!!

This one is nuts! Can't stop studying those first two panels.

Hahahaha

I honestly thought his mask was a hood.
