New Mutants #98 cover up at Heritage.
Pete Marino replied to PhilipB2k17's topic in Original Comic Art
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. -
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

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

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

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

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

This is a pretty <in>famous page that Liefeld traced, i think for XF1?

I'd be more concerned that it is going to end early because someone Vito Corleone's him.

HBO's THE LAST OF US starring Pedro Pascal (2023)
Pete Marino replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
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" -
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!

Paramount's DUNGEONS & DRAGONS streaming show (2025?)
Pete Marino replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
This show will be like pizza for me, no matter how bad it is, it'll still be DnD and i'll enjoy it. -
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.

It's not easy to keep a site like that up and running on an AOL.com connection.

AVATAR 2 THE WAY OF WATER starring Sam Worthington (2022)
Pete Marino replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
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. -
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

HERITAGE November comic and art auction
Pete Marino replied to jjonahjameson11's topic in Original Comic Art
I just want the skeletor riding a liger with a laser barge saddle toy. That looks pretty sweet.
