Thanks man. I made some changes since...
- Fixed the left eyebrow to make it more symmetrical to the other one (that made a significant difference)
- Some other minor touch ups
Overall it was suppose to be just a quick sketch on a piece of printing paper. If I put anymore effort into it I can't call it a quick sketch
. My friend already took it and it's hanging in her dorm room. So I can't do anything more even if I wanted to.
***Final result...
That is absolutely stunning.

Same. Do it as a nice collectors set. BAM. Nerds around the world empty their wallets. It sounds like they've got a lot of extra they could include too, thanks to the wonderful 'X-Men The Art And Making Of The Animated Series' by the Lewalds (an essential book for any fan of preproduction to own) so they'd have some nice stuff to include.
How do I Own Wolverine And The X-Men on bluray and not the '92 cartoon or the anime? It's criminal.

Board member thinks you've really outdone yourself on this one, the detail is great and Galactus is incredible (and fully Kav's own idea). Just an outstanding piece.

So he's using Jim/James Lindsay as his current alias. Dexter's creator uses Jeff Lindsay as an alias/it's his real name, one of the two. For James I'd like to think it's a reference to Doakes, but going with the formula, it's probably another production person.

Quick weekend stress relieving drawing. Happy with how it turned out.
- HB 0.5 for sketch, outlines, and shading (Q-tip)
- Colors using blue 0.5 and red 0.7 lead
***Haven't decided if I want to shade the outside border area
I can't stop looking at this piece. She's so... enchanting? Are you going to finish the piece?

I was hoping for something a bit meatier, as they know there's a lot we want to know. For a vapid teaser this is fine though.

It's never going to happen now, but we only ever got DVDs of the '92 X-Men The Animated Series,' 94 Fantastic Four cartoon, and the UK only (don't think it even merited a US release) DVD release of Avengers: United We Stand. I'd love to have upgrades of those shows, particularly X-Men. The other two would just be gravy.
I know Avengers United They Stand was always very controversial, even at the time it was out, but I loved it, as it was basically a West Coast Avengers cartoon. The gimmickry didn't bother me, it took up maybe a minute in a 23 minute episode so I never saw it was anything to get bothered by. I'd have loved to see the never produced second season.
I'd also like to see some more modern ones, the 2006ish Fantastic Four cartoon, still only ever been on DVD, and THE one that's always bugged me, the Marvel Anime releases, that came out well into the bluray era, yet chose to only come out on DVD. Absolutely infuriating. I enjoyed the X-Men and Iron Man ones the most, but may as well release all of them onto bluray or 4k, seeing as Blade's getting a film again too.
IMO animated works benefit the most from an upgrade of DVD to Bluray. I've yet to see if that's also true of 4k, but will know soon, as the 86 Transformers movie is getting a 4K release, meaning I'll have it on all 4 formats (VHS, DVD, Bluray, 4K). It'll be interesting to see if it gets as large a bump as it last time, making it the preferred formate by far, or if it'll be a case of diminished returns, which is what I'm expecting.
**And related to nothing, please give us the whole of Futurama on anything higher than DVD. It's 2021 and that's an outrage for such a brilliant show. I'll happily she'll out the cash for the complete set in either 4k or bluray.

AMericomics published some Blue Beetle around the time (or maybe prior to) DC acquiring the character.Did Bill Black just grab him & try to get the rights?
Maybe thinking he was in public domain or some such?
From the statement someone said above, it sounds like he owned them, and sold them. But at the same time, if he'd been publishing them thinking they were public domain and been informed by DC's lawyers that hey, we own them now, that to me seems to fit better. If you were selling, wouldn't you include a provision to allow yourself one more issue to finish your ongoing story?
That they just cut the story on the spot makes me think it might have been a rights issue, thus explaining the sudden no second issue. They may have been okay to publish this one as the sale was still in progress, but not for the second? (that's going a bit too far). DC caught the issue and told them no further issues allowed, but we'll allow this single usage from a tiny company? Things were very different back then, after all.

In 1983 Americomics produced a one shot with the Charlton heroes.
The story ends in a cliff hanger, and they explain that the story will not be finished because the characters had been sold to another publisher. (They didn't mention DC by name)
Captain Atom has some huge bangers on that cover.

My gripe's already been covered in the very first post. I can't really think of much else. Maybe it'd be nice to always click on a notification, and not just if it's your only one in the queue, and to clear them once they're clicked on from the notification, not having to still go to the top and manually clear them.

Oh man i loved this line, and the JLA line that followed, especially the box sets. Still our only Connor Hawke figure ever made, sadly. Kind of an odd aesthetic to it though, the figures sometimes looked as though they'd been flayed, like they were missing layers of flesh. Weird sculpting quirk they'd chosen. Now it's just a part of their charm.

You can't escape Stan Lee. There's a fine for tampering with his likeness in most civilised countries.

Congratulations to all the set winners, and to all 3 Forumites of the year. Well done guys, sounds like you've put in a LOT of hard work, and it's great to see that work being recognised by your fellow collectors. I hope you relish this moment, you've earned it!

Ok...I would love to have a Jim Lee sketch and now the opportunity has arisen through CGC for $875. They have an example photo which doesn't look impressive at all. It will be my first sketch, on a book, from anyone. when I think of paying $875 for a sketch i want something sweet, not a something that looks like to too 2 minutes to do. Has anyone seen the example CGC has up? Is it just me or should I expect something more than that example that costs $875. I'd like to think i would get something a lot more that that. Is this what I should expect or what?
Compared to what his commissions usually cost, and considering how many he's probably going to be expected to do for this, and how seriously he takes his work, I know what I'd expect.

Nobody cared about this book 2 years ago. Nobody. It was barely worth grading even in high grades. I had 2 copies because I was collecting the Charlton Watchmen analogues, including a 9.0 that was about $100. Overnight, it's a huge key because John Cena wants to play him? I think we should let the book gestate a bit more.
I'm also a big Pat Boyette fan. I suggest reading his bio for those who aren't familiar with him.
Well he's playing him in both a movie and TV show on HBO Maxx, both already in the can.

Hell yeah. Let's hope it's better than the wildly offtone comic Image did back in like 2003. It looked great, but man the story was bad, even slightly creepy.
This movie could be all kinds of cool if they get their movement right and utilise the capes.

I hear Bob Beerbohm is furiously tracking down this lead and ready to announce the Darn- Simpson Pedigree.

So Galactus is up for preorder for Aussies at Eb Games (your Gamestop) toy and pop culture spinoff for $800AU, or about $590US. That's more than an Xbox One X or PS5.

He'll be killed off in BP2.
Yeah I know that, I just hate the musk of the character in Storm's love life. If I say why it'll get marked as political, but the reason Reginald Hudlin put them together irks me.
-
Please no. I hate the pairing the Storm and T'Challa. Hate it.

Oh heck yes!
(I predict King Shark survives)
Straight out survival or heroic sacrifice where he's assumed dead but surprise! He made it.

Now I am officially sad!!!!

It's a loss, yes, but look at how much money you're saving yourself by selling so few books. It obviously make mathematical sense for you, and is a solution many wish they could have, so consider it a spot of luck, of well-placed investing paying off to help you in life further yourself.
I'd be upset too, but to clear debt at these prices, it's a no-brainer.
