I appreciate the insight and perspective, Kavi! It's definitely an outlier in my collection, but that does make it charmingly unique, and fun, to boot!
Boy, could you imagine??? Though I do like to think that this piece being all shrouded in mystery does a lot for its allure and appeal.
Everyone does have to start somewhere, right? I really enjoy seeing how far my collection has grown since then, but it's nice to finally give this early addition its due time in the spotlight.
It was a real emotional rollercoaster to see that my piece had been featured in the CAF Roundup email... and then to learn why. I hope that Mitch would have been happy to have this beautiful page be the one chosen to represent him and honour his memory.
It does make me very happy that I was able to contribute to the HI, even if it was just in a small way. I've noticed that Jeff always donates a few small pieces of art to them whenever he goes to a convention, which I really respect.
Ha! Reminds me of an old commission I saw from Jeff where he has Jenni skidding to a stop and going "Meep meep!" like the Roadrunner.
That would be just the most amazing thing ever, but I certainly wouldn't want anyone to feel obliged, you know? I do have a few fun commissions I'd like to get as joint wedding gifts for Connor and myself, though, which I'm very much looking forward to!
Jeff knew, and he delivered in spades. The gratuitous nipple highlights are definitely the beefcakiest part (the icing on the beefcake, even?).
Aww, thank you!! On both counts! It's a pretty wonderful feeling, and I love having a piece of art to tie it to. What's funny is that while this piece was listed on the night we got engaged, years ago, the Mike Grell headshots piece I own was listed for sale right after I got home from our very first date. Makes me wonder what kind of art will be listed for sale on our wedding day!
The outline really ties the piece together! I think it helps sell the impression that Kinetix is glowing in the dark.
Hey, thanks! I don't have a lot of strong tonal pieces in my collection, so I think this one really stands out.
Thanks, Kavi! I'm so happy I was able to bring this one home. I love it to bits and it would have broken my heart to miss out on it.
Yeah, I think Jeff was born to be a Legion artist! His work on Legionnaires is some of my very favourite. It's great to be able to get art from him on the regular.
Well, you'd think so, but Brainy's not exactly the type to work out. I think he just lugs a bunch of heavy equipment around his lab all day, and gets jacked inadvertently!
Clearly there was a niche that needed filling. Maybe I was possessed by the collective will of the people, and their desperate need for shirtless Brainiac 5.
I could write it out for you easy-peasy, but until they properly invent the Interlac language the way they have Vulcan and Klingon, we can only guess what it would sound like!
Wellllllll technically, at this point in canon, he'd be sending Andromeda the selfie, but knowing her temper, she's probably the reason he's got a giant hole in his shirt in the first place!
No comment on the rest of those questions, though. The mystery persists...
Just making sure your Cable mystery sketch is in good company! ;)
Ha, nice one! I have noticed that Jeff likes to draw Ayla here with bigger eyes than lots of his other lady Legionnaires. I think it's part of her charm!
Phew, this one is a bit of a long story. When they originally brought in the Legionnaires team as a younger, brighter alternative to the older Legion, many of them took newer, "cooler" codenames. Lightning Lad became Live Wire, and his sister, who had her Light Lass powers, became Gossamer. Well, times and continuities change, and you end up with both Ranzz twins having their lightning powers. Live Wire kept his updated name, which meant Lightning Lass needed a new name, too, and I guess they decided Spark was a good name to give her!
Do stay tuned for card #100, which is sure to shock and amaze (genuinely no lightning pun intended, though)!
If anything, I'm surprised the Moy percentage of my sketch cards is only as low as 58%! I've done a better job of diversifying than I'd thought. Thankfully they're still my favourite kind of sketch card to collect so I don't intend on stopping any time soon!
As an enjoyer of naked men, allow me to extend my heartiest thanks to you for working so hard to bring this piece into the world (and my heartiest congratulations, for finally pulling it off!). I enjoy how where many artists would make Cable's cybernetics the focus of the piece, Rombutan shows him from his non-cybernetic side, allowing us a glimpse of the man behind the machine.
I knew Aidan had been buying on your behalf, I just wasn't sure how many were for you! I'm so sorry to hear the delivery is going sideways. I hope that it sorts itself out and all works out okay.
Lovely little surprises like that are one of the best parts of this hobby! Some artists are so generous and you can tell they love making art for people who genuinely love to collect it. I'm sure Rick was happy to go above and beyond for you! Congrats!
The colourist for this issue (and most of the Legionnaires comics) is Tom McCraw, who was also the co-plotter for most of the Legion issues he worked on during this period! I think it's brilliant to have one of the writers be the colourist, because then you know all the colours on the page match exactly what the writer envisioned while dreaming up the story. I agree that Tom's work on this page is absolutely gorgeous to look at.
And thank you for the congrats! I really enjoy the feeling that I finally have a good assortment of Legionnaires pages. I don't plan on stopping anytime soon, so keep a weather eye out!
Thanks, Miki!!! I'm looking forward to seeing which ones you got from Jeff's last art drop, too!
I mean, Brainiac 5 with the (chronal) wind in his hair? Picking up this page was a no-brainer for me.
Oh, thank you!! It's been ages since I had some good pages to post, and I really like these! I'm glad that you do, too. :)
For being limited to only one issue, I think the writers did an amazing job outlining all the different backstories, powers, and personalities. I'd love to see them make an appearance again, somehow!
Hey, that's very good to know! I'll add him to my list of artists I want a Legion sketchard series from.
Gorgeous colours on this one! And some lovely inked tapers for shading, too. I might have to look into the artist!
To be perfectly honest, Marcus, I'm not sure I'd survive the experience. And the paint would ruin a perfectly good suit!
I was just thinking to myself that at this point, with all the descriptions you've read and comments you've left, you're surely at least a Junior Legion Loremaster!
It was a crazy amount of worldbuilding and backstory to all be contained in a single issue! I didn't even have time to get into the altered powers of all the other Legionnaires, like Saturn Girl's telepathy becoming object-activated ESP!
Thank you!! I picked it up for the great Kinetix panel, so it was really only after the fact that I realized there's eight Legionnaires on here! That's a decent amount, considering half the team was stranded in the past at this point in continuity.
Thanks, Rick! By this point in his Legionnaires run, Jeff was so comfortable with the characters that everything just looks exquisite.
I'm glad for the confirmation that the panel 4 hand gesture is indeed the standout part of the page! I'm pleased to have a page that features some Legionnaires I didn't have published art of, yet, like Sensor and Magno. And thanks for the congrats - I think you'll like the second page even more (I certainly do!).
That Science Police cruiser in the bottom panel has actually been commandeered by Mordru, the evil sorcerer the Legion is trying to find. I think that techically gives your joint-planting scenario more credence, if Mordru were actually petty enough to try framing the Legion instead of just destroying them outright!
Yikes, I don't envy you for having to take the SATs like that. If only you'd had a little desk buddy Vi to keep your pencils sharp (and maybe whisper the answers when no one's looking)!
He has to work quickly, or else Vi gets bored and starts hoarding all his paperclips.
I like the idea that she can either be offering him a pencil ("Here, use this one!") or taking it away from him ("Okay, buddy, that's enough for today.").
I love Violet! I've realized she's definitely one of the most represented characters in my collection, and I think she's earned a spot as one of my favourite Legionnaires.
I'm right there with you on the JSC vibes. I hadn't noticed the March-y aspects before you pointed them out, but I think you're right on both counts!
Chavez does have a very interesting style, I'd say. Once you see a bunch of his pieces beside each other, you can see that there's definitely an overarching style he sticks to. I'd be interested to hear which artists he draws inspiration from, for sure!
And thank you very much for the congratulations! Logging onto eBay and seeing this piece up for sale was the cherry on top of an already wonderful day.
This would go INCREDIBLY hard as a magazine cover, you're absolutely right! That would be a fun series of commissions to get down the line.
Empirically so!
