Sentry #1 Jae Lee variant cover takes a panel from an interior page. It was an homage to the Captain America #101 splash page.

People are expecting it to be a serialized show/8 hour movie split into episodes like Stranger Things because it's streaming, but it's looking more procedural like Law and Order, CSI, etc. or those classic TV westerns that can be watched in any order with some character building each episode. The valuable streaming properties that are getting bought and sold for big money are long running half hour procedurals like Seinfeld, The Office, Friends, etc. that can be watched over and over again. They, the "professional" reviewers, should know this already.

Doctor Manhattan is aware that in the comic, Alan Moore is in control and he has no free will. In the show, it's Lindelof. Other characters think they have free will, but they are bound by what is written in the -script. Besides the Excalibur joke and Abar the First Black Superman movie, Cal's name could also stand for Calvinist which has beliefs in predestination.

Doctor Manhattan cannot change anything that happens. He's a puppet like the rest of the characters, only he can see the strings (like we as the reader/audience can). He experiences time like we experience the comic books. He can open all the issues at the same time and skip around, take it all in at once, or go back and forth to compare panels in different issues. He can see the way Alan Moore wrote in symmetry, foreshadowing, callbacks, the ending, etc. The outcome in issue 12 is already written, so Doctor Manhattan as a character (and we as the audience) can't change what God (Moore) has already written. Same thing for the show.

This is because it is in the marketplace section. With the title being vague, people think it's an important website update.

Someone should point this thread out to Bagley so he can put some notation in ink within the art on his re-creations/sketches. It should be noted (or just a reminder) that the original cover for USM issue 35 was inked over and does not exist as a pencil only cover anymore. If there ever is a pencil only version for that issue, it's not the real cover.

I know this thread has went off on a tangent, but I saw an unauthorized charge today on the credit card that has been on file with HA. I've gotten the card cancelled. May not be related, but it is something to look out for.

If everyone is getting this deal, sellers will know to raise prices accordingly.

According to thenealadams latest insta post, he’s selling a “Limited edition giclee directly from the original Heritage cover”.

It's for personal use and you're not making money off it, and it's not widespread, why would they go after you? Just stay under the radar. If they find out you're making money off it, you'll get a cease and desist letter and they'll have you destroy anything you've already made and take the money you made. Unless you are defiant and/or they want to make an example of someone, that should be the end of it. Pre-internet, other than a CBG ad, sending photo copies was the preferred non in-person way to share art . A high resolution post to CAF has more potential to be taken and printed by someone else. They should go after these transparency sellers on eBay first.

Most of us only knew the anonymous assistant / refined licensed version and it's not like there are many Jim Davis (as an artist) fans to begin with. Anyone that is heavily invested in them will make a distinction and make a big deal of it.

Not always. Can't tell if it was in a frame. I've seen people buy something for a steal and flex about it in front of everyone only to find out on their own later on that it was an unpublished version. By then, it would have been more humiliating to go back and get your money back than to just write it off.

By going public, it has just limited his options. People are treating it as if he literally stole the art. If he sells right away in a public forum/auction, this story will go even wider to comic news websites...Capital Gains, the seller will find out and may seek a lawyer, and you'll just get internet hate for the dumb reason of not sharing your profits. Did the guy who bought all those Peanuts strips have to go back and pay the ebay seller more? Did the guy who bought the Justice League 21 cover go back and pay more? Did you ever overpay for art from an artist, dealer, or in auction 20 years ago and now it's worth 10x more? Do you feel the need to go back and pay them more now? If he sells privately, he's just going to get low offers. Best route, keep it. Never put it up on CAF. It will just get you praise or scorn comments. If you really just wanted the money, consign with a dealer who doesn't give a and is willing to take the hate. Learn not to tell on how much you paid for something from now on.

Thanks. I looked it up and didn't realize how expensive the paper is by itself. Some are priced even more than published original art pages.

Just a tangential question related to the topic, what bristol board/paper (no vellum please) would be best for an artist to minimize ink bleed?

It's whatever that's given to Albert to sell. That being said, there was an unadvertised debut of a new binder of Darwyn Cooke Minutemen art in Albert's booth at SDCC this year which should be part of his next website update sometime after his upcoming back surgery.

Alternate timeline created during Endgame means different timelines and recast all you want. The focus can always shift to X-Men, Fantastic Four, etc.

This is the kind of action and fun I want in the Black Widow movie. The movie didn't have much in big budget explosions and it uses the settings in fun ways. It just has to be done with less blood.

I guess that part in Endgame where Tony Stark told her directly. "We need you. You're new blood" wasn't really an invite. Maybe he was inviting her to be in the PreVengers. I think she's just that nosy that she would attend meetings of people she has nothing to do with 5 years after she met them. I for one always break into a place I used to work for just to attend their meetings and let them know what I'm up to. Anyways, I'll have to watch it 3 more times this weekend to confirm that it wasn't ruined.

Fury named the Avengers Initiative after Captain Carol "Avenger" Danvers. Of course she's not an Avenger. That movie don't count, because I don't like it... I warned you guys in the Captain Marvel thread that she would be in this movie and would ruin it, but you still had to buy tickets for multiple viewings over multiple weekends instead of catching up on Spaghetti Westerns.

He already had enough personal motivation - to bring back Peter Parker. You can either have him do the dishes and stare at a picture of himself with Peter or have him stare at a wet piece of paper to get him to work on the time machine. When he sacrifices himself at the end, it is greater because he knows what he's giving up (a life with Pepper, Morgan. etc.)

Oh no, without Cap and Iron Man, what are they going to do? The studio will be in ruins! If only they can bring in X-Men or Fantastic Four or maybe both?

I like that Captain Marvel had an entire scene with her escaping the Skrull ship where she didn't wear shoes just for people who still circulate this picture. See, the internets won again!

Doctor Strange is the snarky Iron Man type - look at their scenes together in Infinity War Black Panther is the Captain America type - look at their scenes together in Infinity War and Civil War Captain Marvel is the powerhouse Thor type before going jokey in Ragnarok - look at the trailer. I'm guessing this is how the Russo brothers and their writers see it since they seem to pair these characters together.

Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi...
