Just remembered, when you asked that question long ago,
IF I went back to Marvel, who should I work on?, or
something like that, I picked Imperial Guard ... glad to
see they at least make an appearance.
(Does anyone have a link to that? For I can't do a
proper search worth a damn or something)

Re: The second horizontal panel showing Gladiator tossing the wreckage
aside… JB, will you please tell the speedlines story again?
If we consider Gladiator a superhero… Is he the most powerful one in Marvel's
universe? (And I don't want to hear a word about that Sentry guy. He
still doesn't feel like a real character to me.)

Gladiator and Manta are a thing! I don't recall any hint of that... what a fun reveal :)

We always talk about the marvelous (no pun intended - ok maybe a little) artwork but you have also stepped up your game with regard to panel layout design as well.

Re: The second horizontal panel showing Gladiator tossing the wreckage aside… JB, will you please tell the speedlines story again?••• Frank Miller walked into the bullpen to find an inker troubling over one of my pages. “Byrne has drawn speedlines on this shadow.” “So?” “Shadows don’t have speedlines” Frank waved his hand back and forth in front of the guy’s face. “Nothing has speedlines!!” (Altho, that’s a silhouette of Gladiator, not a shadow!)

Do you think a sitcom in that setting would work?
Wonder who the main cast would be?

Jim Croche once wrote about things you shouldn't do, like tug on Superman's
cape.
I get the feeling he could have added: "You don't mess up Gladiator's hair."
Don't know what Gladiator will do next, but it probably won't be pretty.

That is amazing! John, you are the man! Not the "Stick it to the man"-man but "THE" man-man!
I thought the joy I had felt in comics was gone. I'd grown out of it but looking at this thread draws it all back out.
Thank you.

Boom! And more Boom! That planet looks EPIC, just showing part of it, but covering the full length of the page -- it conveys a suitable sense of vastness.
And then there's the storytelling. These pages bristle with energy, with development. It reminds me of what I used to love about comics, about how you could get a ripping and satisfactory tale crammed within 21 pages.... And that satisfaction comes with a kind of paradox of compelling the reader to want more.
Decompression just leaves me feeling short changed and that doesn't make me want more, because it's just not worth it.
Phenomenal to see this quality of work that is so interesting to read before we've even got the words!
