Nightcrawler #4 Preview Pages

YES! YES! YES! :D I *just* picked up issue 3 on the 10th, and I liked the fact that I was wrong about a couple of the points. It *wasn't* predictable. I *love* being surprised. I am *so* looking forward to the all-out demon-fest climax you've teased us with here.... Bitsy: Poor Wolvie's kind of stuc...

yay, intolerance

Weren't a lot of our Founding Fathers Masons? I seem to remember a picture of George W. with his Mason's apron and the symbol nearby. The Masons and Eastern Stars are a Christian sect, but not the kind the Fundies want to hear about. After all, they did borrow a lot from classical Greek ideals, laws...

Nightcrawler #1 - #4 disscussion

It could also be that Amanda is just screwing with Kurt's mind. After all, for someone who's supposed to be "magically stalking" her ex, she's asking a lot of questions that should know the answers to. Does she know, and is just testing Kurt's honesty? Does she not know, and is just trying...

Funny Superman covers...

That makes a lot of sense... though I still get a case of the smirking giggles when I try to envision some overly macho 8 year old defending his buying of a comic book with MARRIAGE and GIRLS in it by claiming "But it's Superman! It's cool! It's not about girls! He always stops her in the end! ...

I've seen a few of those at a convention, when someone with a humongous comic collection took out some of the goofier covers and made a slideshow presentation out of them. :eek In that presentation, I got to see a bunch of "the Flash gets a wierd body" covers as well as all those freaky &q...

I worked in retail a long time, too. (I kind of view retail work as a social apprenticeship that everyone should go through, so they know how much is SUCKS to work behind the counter, and maybe have some sympathy for the poor devils.) Lord knows how many stupid, abusive customers I encountered. (&qu...

I'd be willing to do layout as well as writing, but, alas, I haven't a graphics program.... So it'd just be writing, editing, plotting, and all those fine points. But considering the amount of writing talent you already have lined up for this, looks like I need to stand in line. ;)

Well, the thing with "concept art" is that no one is quite sure what to do yet, so they need an artist to give them ideas. It's the visual equivalent of brainstorming, where huge loads of stuff just gets tossed on the table and you start sorting through it. Some of the stuff I'm familiar w...

I much prefer to wait a long time for good stuff than get crap on demand. :D

Here's hoping your exam goes well. I'm sure it'll be a real relief to get that out of the way so you can enjoy the holiday.

One good thing: it means Marvel has a lot of faith in this series' popularity, and that they *know* it's going to be running the prerequisite number of issues.
