SiegeLoki

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.

Another grail off my list. The cover of Journey Into Mystery #645 by Stephanie Hans. Watercolor. Gorgeous, gorgeous piece.

I got a commission from MC Wyman off Ebay. Turned out exactly like I asked! Its a homage to the cover of The Mighty Thor 147, only using characters from Loki:Agent of Asgard instead. With young Loki in Thor's place, King Loki in classic Loki's place and the All-mothers(Gaea, Idunn and Freyja) in Odin's place.

I'm finally getting my Hero Initiative sketch! Really proud of this one. Its the last sketch Walt is doing for the Hero Initiative, at least for the time being. Im happy that it turned out so well.

My first Alan Kupperberg page. A nice partial splash of Loki, Tyr and the Midgard Serpent.

I got on the pre-con commissions lists for Kris Anka and Kevin Wada(for Heroescon) and both have already finished my commissions. Kirby/Classic Loki by Kris Anka And Siege Loki by Kevin Wada (very nsfw, so Im linking the page instead of the pic.) http://kevinwada.tumblr.com/post/85728692153/loki-heroescon-2014-sketch The second one was especially fun to commission.

Just got a nice Loki splash from Thor: Lord of Asgard. Penciled by Scot Eaton and inked by Koblish.

Nabbed this last week. My second Coipel page. Pretty key page too as it's Loki's death in Siege.

Just got another piece from Tom Raney. There is a lot of detail on the armor I requested on Loki (from the Siege oneshot) and he did very well with it, as always.

I got four pages from Loki: Agent of Asgard #3, which was released today. Lee Garbett is doing such a good job in this series already. Page 1 - Old Loki spying on young Loki Page 3 - Old Loki going to the past to catch up with a very young Odin, and joining him as a travel companion Page 8 - Loki kills Andvari the giant pike with a rocket launcher (a twist in the myth thats perfectly Marvel) Page 19 - Loki calls on young Odins debt to him (also some cool shape shifting)
