This image doesn’t do justice to the amazing job Kevin did. I almost passed out when I saw it!

One of my favorite books is Wolverine and Jubilee - Curse of The Mutants by Phil Noto ( @philnoto ) and Kathryn Immonen ( @maisonimmonen ). I had always read a few books here and there but this is the series that reinvigorated my love of comics. Phil’s artwork was something of a revelation for me, it was so different from what I seen in the past. Jubilee runs through the gamut of emotions: annoyance, temptation, being lost, and it all looked stunning and believable. The way Kathryn wrote Jubilee really resonated with me, I felt her  struggle with hardship and the feeling of trying to find her way in life. It is also a book about being a Vampire and fighting other nefarious creatures of the night which is very cool, but the emotional core of Logan helping Ms. Lee adapt to life is something I really loved.

The long and the sort of it is that I enjoyed this book very much and I’m thankful that I had the chance to let those creators know in person. Though I’m sure I was less than eloquent in person as I tend to get starstruck. My words turn to mush in my mouth and I end up losing my train of thought. Go read this if you love gorgeous art and fantastic writing!

On the great advice of Todd Nauck, I had my artjam worked on by Alex sinclair to color in the back three characters. Alex did an amazing job, adding texture to their clothes and keeping the Kris Anka Drax tattoos vibrant. While the piece itself is super cool, I think I’ll never do a full figure art jam ever again given how much trouble its been. I still need to get a proper scan of it as well, due to its size. Anyway it is almost done, all I need is a Hipster Groot. Whatever that looks like!

@toddnauck - Gamora 

@mikegoesgeek - Rocket

@bradshawnk @karibuillustrations - Angela

@kristaferanka - Drax

@joequinones - Captain Marvel

@kevinwada - Starlord

Alex Sinclair - Color for Arthur, Carol, Peter

At New York Comic Con I got to meet @bencaldwellart an artist I’ve admired for a long time. Ben was super nice and willing to listen to me blather on and on about his process and what he was doing with Prez. He was even willing to take on my Hipster X-men nonsense which I really appreciate. I really love his lines and the punk attitude he brings to his art! While my collection isn’t Devon Sanders level, I’m still pretty stoked with it.

For the LA podcast festival, will GB be there Sat only? The festival runs for three days but will they have you in multiple events?

I’ve never been before. If someone asked me to be a guest on their show, I’d probably say yes, but as of right now we’re only putting on our show.

[alwaysbeclothing]

I ask mostly because I want to know if I need to buy a Sat pass or a weekend pass, but I’ll be repping GB either way. And Time Belt I suppose.

[jeffgerstmann]

If I did this, would it mean anything to you?
