You do have to read MG (and MP) from the top. That's a requirement.
Get used to time jumps in MG, too, they are used well, but you have to pay attention.
I have two pieces of art from Joe. Click on the images to get some more details about the pieces.
The first is Casey. He's making a series of posters and this is the one for her.
The second is really fun. There's a Deluxe Hardcover of the first dozen issues. Each chapter is prefaced by a page blank except for Morning Glories at the bottom (increasing as the chapters build up). Anyway, Joe was doing a signing at my LCS and put a head sketch on each of those pages. Very cool.
Nothing from the story yet though.
