Anyone read anything new-ish lately with both excellent art and an excellent story?

I can't even remember the many who encouraged me after I bought my first OA... don't fall for it ! Blue pill red pill??

Oh, was just writing casually, am sure many here are !

Venom Frazetta GGA (nostalgia, swimsuits a plus) X-Family

Let's get ready to rumbleeeeeeeee

Much respect. Wish I could've met him to say thank you. His Planet of the Symbiotes arc remains impactful to this day for Venom fans.

They don't call the man P-Nutz for nuthin'.

Am fairly confident that many a dealer/seller reads these kinds of threads + makes available some of our wishlists. Happened to me with Ravenloft OA earlier this year.

Check, check, kind of check (Wildcats with X-Men cameo), newp and newp...

Jeehyung's latest, coming soon:

Meaning, got started in comics the most recently. Figure this can be a fun way for us boardies to learn about new(er) talent. Jeehyung Lee for me, of Ghost Spider fame, first published with Marvel in late 2018. The way he does expressions...

Can't believe it's been 3+ years since Wrightson and Wein passed, feels like yesterday...

Nice! All of my Archie OA can be viewed via two links: https://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=194412 and https://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=194411 The Betty and Me cover was actually featured by CAF for a day, neat stuff: https://mailchi.mp/comicartfans/comic-art-roundup-featuring-a-dan-decarlo-betty-cvr?fbclid=IwAR1ZmRHDW2usWQExh0ER64yLhyUkX9B2vrDAYCGLXtrjWiyUugiW2NK-iA8 Wouldn't have known DeCarlo favored Betty over Veronica otherwise. :O

Let's hear what can be heard! Nothing concrete for me yet, besides finding the (increasingly hard-to-find) good deal here and there, within my usual collecting focus...

And where/how Eva's manga diverges from the TV series is really cool for fans. Need to dig up my last volume, wherever it is.

They went to the Comicbook United Fund. https://www.bincfoundation.org/for-comic-retailers/

Saw the singing attempt yesterday. Dude is as real as it gets amid all the charity. <33333

Anyone know if the Evangelion manga's OA has ever been made available? Would fetch a pretty penny!

Word. And in those 20+ years, who knows what else will happen? Earlier on in the 20th century, could anyone have predicted or even imagined the movie boom to come? Many young fans have been minted in recent years, and in light of the many of them with an inclination towards art... like my little nephew who asked for Darth Vader comics this X-Mas... I just feel this market is unpredictable for the long-term, esp. given Disney's desire to keep alive its flagships in whatever ways possible (some of those unknown to us, even possibly uninvented, in 2021). As sports cards are rooted to an enduring game that continues to evolve -- in marketing and markets, to boot -- superheroes (and OA) are rooted to comics, which also continue to evolve. Long-term viabilty certainly isn't guaranteed, but the combination of images and words on sequential pages (or a screen) continues be an enduring medium for humans. : )

I'm a relatively late convert, but hot damn.

The one thing they all have in common... using a gazillion exclamation points...

Deflamation? Like Human Torch flame on, flame off stuff?

"Let me ask my brother... seated right next to me."

Set up an email alert on the FedEx tracking page, and they notify you immediately upon an update in status.

Not feeling an urge to add new OA after a splurge 1-2 months back is a blessed feeling. Don't mind it one bit... because I know it won't last. :O
