Cool Bone crossover with Stray Dogs and Feral!  I know Baltimore does the tribute yearbook each year, but this just shows I really need to pay attention to what gets published in that yearbook.  Congrats!

Unfortunately, your expectations are too high as I only have one more AoA character design by Joe!  :)   I'll be posting it sometime soon!

I guess I'll have to settle for only three then... Looking forward to it!

Another cool piece of AoA character design work that hasn't been seen before.  Of course, now I'm expecting you to have all of Joe's character designs for the other members of the Astonishing X-Men team. :)

Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep...

I know you waited a while for this one, so nice to see the waitlist finally paid off.  I think you can safely cross owning a Larraz piece off the list now (and you got a color piece!).  Congrats!

I can see duoshade paper being helpful here to add shading/texture for the concrete wall, but it's still unexpected.  Congrats!  And sorry to hear about the scare with your mom but glad to hear she's doing better!

Another Joe Mad gem surfaces!  Now I'm curious what other unique pieces you have from Joe just lying around the vault...

And I checked, and these were also used in the corner boxes on #351, 352, and 354-356 after Joe had left the title.

I'm a sucker for panels that show multiple figures to convey motion, so that fourth panel is golden for me.  Ended up not bidding on any from this set, but this was one of my favorites from the second half.  Congrats!

Another great Senescence pickup for the collection!  Love her glare and all the lighting effects on display here.  Congrats!

It was nice chatting with you at OAX, and I'm now a fan of Senescence after hearing about him from you (and checking out other pieces of his).  I'll be getting a commission from him, so thanks for the introduction to his work!

Congrats on adding a Perez Infinity Gauntlet page to the collection!  And it's great that it captures the Thanos/Death relationship so perfectly (that fourth panel speaks volumes with its silence/blank space).

Epting Cap covers don't come up for sale very often, and this was a great one for a Winter Soldier-centric issue.  Thought about maybe going for it, but this is in the right collection.  Congrats!

I didn't grow up with armored Psylocke but love how shiny she looks in Silvestri's run, to the point where I'd prioritize that in a Silvestri X-Men page (and briefly owned one such page).  Anyways, she looks phenomenal here, and this is a great sequence of Psylocke showing off her battle prowess.  Congrats!

Love when Cheung goes dynamic with his layouts/designs, and this has that energy, even though it's essentially just a bunch of heroes posing on a cover.  And the symmetry of poses on both sides is a fun little tidbit.  Congrats!

I knew Nate Powell was at the show, and somewhere my brain made a connection to March, but it didn't make the full connection that he was the artist on the book, so I never even stopped by his table (another missed OAX opportunity).  These pages all involve a lot of text yet do a great job of using the comics medium to keep it flowing and not make it feel like a monologue (even when it is).  Congrats on three great pickups!

There's some great inking and linework on display here, but if you're talking about a defeated and resigned Batman, that slumping Batman (in thin inks, like he's just faded into the background) in panel 2 says so much.  Congrats on picking this up!

Nice little moment between Storm and Wolvie, though they're oddly off-center.  But the real travesty is how they completely removed the birds in the published version (curious why they were originally there, then removed... outside of changing it from a day to night scene).  Still a nice pickup despite all that, so congrats!
