This- reading Guardians 3000, it's really striking how Sandoval's style feels like Ramos' except with significantly better craft and care- especially in regards to samefaces and expressions.
lol yeah, he's saying "blood" when it gets faster and "man" when it's slower.

Really love the look of this book. So happy I bought it. Wish more writers collected stories that inspired their stuff.

I like Ramos, but that ASM #1 Parker face is downright horrifying.
Well I think its totally ok to charge for commissions, but for signatures fans should be allowed to simply tip the artist if they want.
I'd pay insane money to Ryan Ottley for a drawing. I've said it before, Marvel need to throw an offer at him, he would be a better addition than Land.

Can someone explain the weird numbering on marvel stuff sometimes? Was looking for Black Panther stuff and saw Black Panther The Man Without Fear, from 2010. But insteainstead of being #1 it's... #513 >_>
At first I thought "well maybe they resumed some old numbering" like they sometimes do (which is very confusing) but surely there haven't been over 500 black panther issues?
Edit: unless they are being cute and it's replacing Daredevil since its called the man without fear, but then I have to ask, there have been over 500 issues of Daredevil?

Black Panther took over and resumed the ongoing Daredevil's numbering at the time.

I wish Marvel had a comparable line of statues and figures to the stuff that DC Direct puts out. Overall, I like Marvel characters more, but DC puts out a better selection of collectibles.

Speaking of figures. Freeza, were you the one that was talking about pre-ordering the new release of the Mignola Batman DC Direct for $50?? Is that shit still up for pre-sale cuz I definitely wanna fucking get that now.
Ah man, you missed it. It was up on DCBS in early December for $54.

Yeah, the reissue comes out in a few months. Too late to get it on the cheap from DCBS, but TFAW is still taking orders [$63.96], as is Entertainment Earth [$79.99].
TFAW charges like, $20 shipping on statues, so you're not getting off that easy.

Read a little of Tom Strong and Swamp Thing this weekend. They were both great, I have no idea why I hadn't gotten around to reading them before.

Order it from TFAW, jeez. $20 may seem like a lot, but shit. I import a lot of figures. There have been times when shipping alone was close to $100 on a monthly order.

This Prime Elements arc on F4 is so weird, if I didn't know any better I would say it was stand alone stories. First they went to some high evolutionary city, then to Atlantis where Sue seems to be crowned, or at least worshipped as a queen, and then we go to the moon to hang out with Inhumans, meanwhile not referencing anything that just happened in the previous issues. It's...bizarre.
Hickman's writing seems very...detailed is how I would describe it. Like art can be very detailed, that's how I feel about his writing. Weird ass arc aside that is

At the time, Marvel was pushing an initiative to go back to the Volume 1 numberings for all their books, but while counting all other volumes as individual numbers, under the argument that Amazing Spider-Man #700 was more impressive/landmark, than, say, Amazing Spider-Man Volume 2 #137 or whatever it'd actually be. It's why a lot of stuff in the early 2010's has a run that starts and goes to like issue #20 or 30, and then suddenly becomes #600.
Black Panther: Man Without Fear continued on from Daredevil because it took place after Matt's apparent death at the end of Shadowland, with Panther patrolling Hell's Kitchen and serving the same role as DD did for some reason.

Just give it time. Don't try to think of any of these as individual arcs. Go with the flow, the whole run is effectively one large arc.

There were 4 or 5 figures and the box was so big I legit almost fell in when I was taking all the packing material out.
It was during Marvel's 70th Anniversary plans, no? Makes sense, then.

It's okay, Freeza's the figure master. Cheska's a big baller too.
Oh wait, I forgot future Franklin telling Val about a war between 4 races / armies, that's what all this seemingly random stories are building up to, fuck.
OK that's better now that it "clicked"
Edit: reading F4 made me want to look for the famous Valeria birth issue.
"She agreed because Susan, at least, knows that I'm a man of honor and style. I would not be so crass as to name the child "Dooma", for instance. No, she shall be called... Valeria."
"I place you under my royal protection, little Valeria. If anyone is ever foolish enough to strike at you... they will deal with me."
"Enjoy your family Richards. And remember every time you look at your wife and daughter that Doom saved them both... when, once before, you could not."
Why so godlike Doom, damn!

Even if you don't read all of Waid's Fantastic Four run, because I know you have a backlog, you should definitely check out the "Unthinkable" arc, it's definitely the payoff for the Valeria set up.

I think I might buy it.
Shit looks straight out of the late 90's.
She refers to him as "Uncle Doom".

As someone posted recently, read that F4 story, it'll give you a different view about Doom.
I wouldn't go that far.
And now for something different (and awful), What If Venom Possessed Deadpool... good lord :/ I did laugh at Galactus saying "I'm the baby daddy" but that's about it
And before you ask why I even read it, I like to switch it up :/
