I have never before added such a knockout to my collection as this Esad Ribic cover and probably never will again. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1874317

Esad Ribic did this for me at NYCC.

While I don't know the answer to this question in general, I do know that the most *viewed* pieces in my collection are my three nude Loki commissions. Which does not match my most commented or most favorited pieces.

Marcio Takara finished a piece for me this week:

I just got a page I've been after for a while and I'm glad to have it in my hands, but somewhere between the artist and me, Fedex wasn't very careful with it and the page has two major creases across the bottom. The end splash page for Trials of Loki #3 by Sebastian Fiumara

A Spidey/Thor team-up title splash from 1973 is a hell of a random find!

Just got another What If? page. This time from What If #47 or What If Loki Had Found The Hammer of Thor? penciled by Kelley Jones. It was on Ebay. I grabbed it at the last second. Because if there's any collection a page with Loki's butt on it belongs in, it's MINE.

They didn't cost much relatively speaking. I paid less than a grand for all three. I've learned that even with pages from thirty or forty years ago, it pays to just ask if the artist or inker still has the page. Because I've been lucky more than a few times at this point using that method. Some artists have scattered everything to the wind, but some still have held onto a few. It helps that I focus on a villain. So when I am digging for a Thor page, the title character is not necessarily even on the page at all. And that keeps my purchase costs down at times. (Though Loki has gotten astronomically more popular since the movies)

I've added a few new pages to the collection recently: Three pages from What if Jane Foster Found the Hammer of Thor? (What If #10) by Rick Hoberg. A board member here actually let me know he still had pages, and over the course of a year I worked out buying these. Took a while to ship because he moved during that time and the pages had to be found again. (and of course, the pages I got feature Loki very heavily) I got this page from Young Avengers #14 by Christian Ward. The vast majority of YA Vol. 2 was done digitally(because McKelvie and most of the guest artists only did digital), so this is one of the few existing pieces of OA from it. It's also one of the only published OA pages yet that feature America Chavez, as most of the pages with her were done digitally too. A page from Loki: Agent of Asgard #6 (guest artist Jorge Coelho) A page from The Mighty Thor #384 by Ron Frenz It's been a really good year for art in my case. If a bit wallet draining. Might still be able to squeeze in a couple more before 2015.

Esad Ribic made me a very very happy collector(again) this weekend: on CAF

Stephanie Hans finished the piece I commissioned for NYCC! I love her watercolor work.

I just had a hell of a sketch added to my convention sketchbook: Walt is amazing

A painted page from Loki #4 by Esad Ribic. This page is one I've been working on getting for a long time. The concubine Daia seduces Loki.

Newest page Im getting

Im going to add it to CAF when I get a decent scan buuuuut I made a spontaneous commission this weekend. Esad's in Boston. So I set up something with him to get shipped to me. Sorry, sorta nsfw? ish. Artistic nude. Loki with his hair down.
