I have always held a fascination with the Blue Area since I first read of it in 137.  There is something about it in your art that makes it, even though in ruin, comforting.  That may not make sense, but that is the feeling I get.  Perhaps it is the obvious distance from the Earth and all that goes on there everyday.

Oh.

Wow.

I agree with Brian - “Holy shit!”   I thought the previous splash was the way to go, but this is awesome!!

The Blue Area blue—er—blew my mind when I first read FF 13. It was introduced so casually, as if it was something everyone already knew about. (Which I assumed they did. That night when the Moon rose, I went into the back yard to look for it. When I couldn’t see it I guessed I was maybe too far north. Hey! An astronomer I wasn’t.)

Then it also turned out to be the home of the Watcher. Universe building happening right before my eyes! And in an issue inked by Ditko!

I actually had a fleeting moment where I thought Barry
Windsor-Smith signed the page.

Wow. I need coffee.
