Sneak peeks are a sure-fire redirection technique.

Odd that there’s no official word on this book happening or not — I wonder what is holding up the decision? I’m honestly confused. 

That said, I don’t work in the comic industry. Perhaps this is very common? 

I do know I’d like to read it, and perhaps own a cover :)

They’ve all been fun, in this context. I’ll admit, tho, that there has been something extra dealing with the “lobotomized” Jean. The whole arc for her, in fact, has been fun in the execution—and I’m not done with it yet!

I'm curious to see what you'd do with Gyrich. In AVENGERS, he was more of an annoying jerk, and a typical government stooge. In X-MEN, he became more of a full-on villain, beginning with Project Wideawake (which I assume was your idea since it began in DOFP).

--So, back to talking about how great the art is!! --JB

I enjoy power-packed splash/Pin-up pages (both flavours, 'full' & 'Half') and super costumed action pages as much as the next guy but less than secretly, I love the out-of-costume, everyday life pages the most. 

One would imagine that to draw Fabulous-man smashing a Skrallillion Space frigate into junk would be a tad easier than drawing a busy subway station, mostly due to expectation. The viewer is like to have seen the latter many times and in a great position to judge and perhaps has less hard facts to go on with the former.

With this in mind, this outstanding page is my favourite thus far.

No link. It is the train station page.

This points also to why the dinosaurs in JURASSIC PARK looked so good, while the elephants in JUMANJI didn't. We know what elephants look like!
