We were able to continue the winning formula on several more covers, but in terms of full issues, this was a one-off thing where the stars just seemed to allign. I think issues 10-12 were pretty strong as well, but we had alternating colorists that sort of broke up the flow.

This little trip down memory lane brought to you by 3 hours of sleep! Thanks for indulging me.


Here's hoping that the little one gets better soon!

And a couple more, to make up for lost time!






Fortunately, the little guy's getting better, so we all got some rest last night. Feeling much better today, so thank you all very much for the get-well messages--seems like they worked.

Hey, man. Glad you posted that.

I had a bit more free time earlier in my drawing career and had the chance to do a number of private commissions for COH fans. This is one of them, and it's nice to see it here. Not technically a sketch, but if you guys aren't opposed, I could post some of the other commissions here along with the marker sketches.

Now if I only knew how to respond properly.

I like the 'bien' part--that seems like a good sign! Any French speakers who can help unravel this mystery for us?

"The helmet's really good, super game, City of Heroes" (as in they think the game is super/great, they're not just restating that it's a superhero game) basically.

Thanks a lot for the translation!

And a few more to post, from the archives. No particular order at this point--they're from completely different shows.
