I'm really curious: is the fact that Thor's left arm isn't missing and replaced by mechanical prosthetics in the current Axis run due to the fact that this whole storyline happens between him losing Mjolnir at the end of Original Sin and him losing his arm in his solo title, or is this a case of the art having been produced way in advance of the time when the issues were supposed to be released, so that the outline of Original Sin was known to you but the specifics of Thor's solo run weren't?

Hey specifically said it's thor without the prosthetics. Not sure why

Hey Mr. Yu -- some time ago you posted a piece on DeviantArt about using SketchUp in your books (particularly your New Avengers run and your Fallen Son issue). I had a few questions including (but not limited to) how long you used it, where you found your resources, and why you stopped using it if you did? I'm starting to plan out a pretty involved graphic novel project that'll use photo reference for characters and ideally SketchUp for some of the environments, and any advice would be great.

It takes too long sometimes and you can make cooler shots by doing things by hand. Google or facebook kim jung gi. Awesome freehand artist

Dude in regards to updating your tumblr. You can post an update in Tumblr and have it automatically shared on Twitter and Facebook. So you only have to post one thing on one social media platform. It'll be in your settings.

It seems ok with twitter but facebookers dont like clicking outside links, i noticed. Posts get noticed more if posted on fb directly
