Wow. I have no idea where we're going with this, but I'm having a blast getting there.

All I can say is... YAY!
Oh, and maybe "we're not worthy".
Yes, I'd definitely trade-in what we got in post Byrne X-comics in 'our' world for this (and the 22 1/2 issues of Hidden Years naturally).

JB,
Clearly these are not rough pencils but I include that just for the sake of the next question.
How would you classify these pages - rough pencils, loose pencils, tight pencils, very tight? If this was a real project, are these pages you would ink yourself and thus maybe looser or send to another inker and rely on their experience to tidy things up?
Are you drawing with a blunt pencil often or are all those thicker lines draw with the "side" of the pencil lead?
I ask so I have an idea how thin/thick my own lines should be on my practice pages. I have a feeling I'm making my own lines too thin.
What is the thinnest line that should be used on comic book art? Do .3 mm lines reproduce ok or are they too thin when reduced?

I was away a couple days and came back to this....i feel we have an entire comic book unfolding and get to see everything in progress. So much eye candy to absorb.
WHAT A GIFT!!!!!!
Thank you JB. Or I should say thank you J...;-)

"Something occurred to me as I was adding the sunbeams in the first panel: the Savage Land is in Antarctica. The sunlight there must be coming in nearly horizontal, when it come at all."
You are by far your own best critic. All the Ka-Zars I've had and never thought of this either. There could be some kind of explanation in the Bruce Jones/Brent Anderson run where part of the Savage Land was an Atlantean theme park (going on old memories here) and had maybe a light source/booster set up by those Atlanteans (or whatever they were). I only have #1-6 of that run of comics before they got to that stuff.
I love the little Wolverine down in the jungle at the bottom of that one page! Makes the world seem so big. I'm imaging that panel with nice Joe Sinnott inklines on the foreground figure and Austin/Chic Stone for the rest.

I like the way the 'camera' is getting closer to our heroes on the page where they are scrabbling through the jungle. Good dramatic build up, nicely played.

Can I believe this, wow, awesome JB. I'm so glad that this is escaping from your head through to your pencils! Lucky us.

Ok. XM:HY is now in the queue. It’s been too long. I think I’ll read the Thomas/ Adams issues first. I’ve never read them even tho I’ve had the ESSENTIAL volume for years.
