  1. so much emotion and evocative action in this page, one of my favorites for sure,
  2. Another addition to the Invisibles collection today! really happy with this one as well, while not as splashy as the last one, this is one of the most memorable scenes for me in volume 3. The Death of king mob! https://cafurl.com?i=30820
  3. One of my favorite pages in all of the invisibles, and i was lucky enough to add it to my collection. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=2059665
  4. As a teen of the 90's, I'll just say that among me and my friends, New Mutants / X-Force was cooler than McSpidey and Lee X-Men. And NM87, 98 and 100 were all books we went nuts for. XF1 was an event like no other in comics. I would just say we all have our "ages" of comic collecting and I get if this isn't your cup of tea. If it's not your thing that's cool, but don't believe there's not a huge amount of nostalgia for this run of comics, warts and all.
  5. One of the craziest pickups ever. I went to comic art con yesterday, was great, but couldn't find something to pick up. Then my friend drags me to this antique mall saying there's cool stuff all over the place. Walk in and 10 minutes into this place that can only be described as the place where they hid the arc of the covenant, but everything is in a display case, I look down and this was sitting against the wall, framed, calling out for a new home! Such a great sweet spot, and a pretty memorable page for me. From the Spider-Man Clone saga, with the Jackal having his plans come into place, him transforming and Peter sitting in front of the clone chamber broken! https://cafurl.com?i=30545
  6. One of the best (IMO) spider-art-teams going today, Ferreira/Poggi have been just killing it. Love this half splash from their latest work. https://cafurl.com?i=30446
  7. for someone that feels like they are not collecting much these days. I feel like i've been adding a bunch to the collection of late. But i couldn't pass up this Cammo page when it was offered to me. https://cafurl.com?i=29737
  8. A cool pickup this week. A nice Spidey vs Venom fight page. https://cafurl.com?i=29689
  9. I finally got the rest of the pages up that I was able to get from Sean Phillips. There's a lot of them, so if you want to see them all follow the link. Below are a couple of my favorites. All from The Invisibles, Volume 3, by Sean Phillips and Jay Stephens. 15 pages in total! It's not easy to find a group of pages like this anymore. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerynew.asp?gcat=53881&pm=1&PI=18&days=30
  10. Been trying to get in touch with Sean Philips for nearly a decade to ask about any Invisibles art he had left. Finally was able to get him via instagram and was able to get a few pages from him. Here's the 1st one. An awesome page that i'm just smitten with the layout of, where Edith is dying and remembering her life with Barbelith in the background of the flashback. https://cafurl.com?i=29611
  11. Really slowing down in my old age =) I just put my 2023 purchases up on CAF: (edit - dang, i'm losing my mind, forgot i had uploaded 2 already (removed them) One of my favorite pages from the 1st Superior Spider-Man run. A cool half splash from Grant Morrison's X-Men run with Wolverine, Cyke and Fantomex, and (for me) a page I've wanted for a long time, a cool page from issue 1 of the Invisibles. https://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=240395
  12. My new art days are pretty few and far between these days. But once i saw this was up for grabs I knew i had to get it! One of the 1st pages with Ragged Robin and King Mob from the invisibles. Plus that second panel might be one of my favorite Robin images in the whole series. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1933271
  13. this show felt like homework to watch, i dropped it after episode 2, no regrets.
  14. This is a pretty <in>famous page that Liefeld traced, i think for XF1?
  15. I'd be more concerned that it is going to end early because someone Vito Corleone's him.
  16. I have never liked a show that makes me feel a bad as this one. The rollercoaster of this show has been amazing. I was thinking about why this show feels like Walking Dead, but I like it more. the characters have a mission, a goal and agency, vs it felt like Walking Dead became "meandering around in the woods with Rick and Daryl"
  17. Not many new art days for me these days. But I saw this page and really thought it was great. Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys the Marvel Universe 1 Pg 12 https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1895015
  18. had a bunch of amazon no-rush rewards after xmas, and got the "early access" on prime. I have to say, i went in with low expectations, but i really liked it! it's now one of my son's favorite movies, and even my wife gave it a thumbs up. A good family night movie for sure!
  19. This show will be like pizza for me, no matter how bad it is, it'll still be DnD and i'll enjoy it.
  20. I think as a collector (of anything) this is really good perspective that I think everyone should have. Regrets, we all have a few, but most of them let us get other things that we cherish today as well. I think too many people forget they sold x that's worth 25 times more today, but it was to help them get that page in their collection that they love.
  21. It's not easy to keep a site like that up and running on an AOL.com connection.
  22. It's easy to forget how old it is! I took both my kids to see it (who are both younger than this movie) and they both were floating 6 inches off the ground they were so blown away by it (we saw it in imax 3d). It may not have the best plot of all time, but it sure does look pretty.
  23. When i had a problem similar to this, i took it to my local framer's that i became friendly with. They had a giant hot press and took care of it for me. -Pete
  24. I just want the skeletor riding a liger with a laser barge saddle toy. That looks pretty sweet.
