Well, cats and dogs living together, pigs flying, Hell freezing over.... you mean there is actually something you created that I didn't care for? Wow, I never thought that day would come! lol Actually, I don't dislike the new logo, I just prefered the "refined" look of the old one. Probably because ...

Dallas I did plan to use the subsequent transformation of Kay’s astral form as an indicator of Kay ‘settling in’ to her new host if the original series had run according to plan. Although I would have liked to use the idea in this new series it would have required a lot of space to explain what was...

I mentioned this on the ClanD thread: Cuckoo's astral form now looks like her current "Pepe" body! In the first series it looked, not only different than Pepe, but even different than her murdered "Kay Sera" body. Any explaination? Fun stuff! I always assumed Albert was speaking of Cuckoo's "illness...

Funny, the only thing I did not like was the new logo. It just RUINED the whole issue! lol j/k Wow, Alan has hit a new zenith with his art work! He just get's better and better. I'm so impressed at how he always seems to step up his game. And the scripting, especially among the "villians" was just s...

Oh, sorry, I meant to ask about the pencils of those pages! Sorry, lack of sleep on my part. :) Well, no secret to it or not, you really are far and above most artists concerning coreography, camera angles and flow. Truly fantastic. I hope you decide to keep your site active. It really brings me alo...

Those gorgeous Nail splash pages!

Alan, Is there any chance you would include the splash pages from The Nail on your main site's gallery? I did see the Green Lantern page but I'd specifically be interested in the Wonder Woman vs Metal Men (even that whole brilliantly choreographed scene) and the HawkWoman page. This is for two reaso...

Sorry neling4 I have no idea what was planned or who got hitched to whom. I didn’t even read the issues I pencilled. Alan I find that very curious! Why wouldn't you want to read the final result of something you had worked on? After reading this forum for a few years, my impression (and I could be ...

Wonder Woman is an iconic and attractive design but I have never given the character any real consideration. As a kid I was always attracted to DC’s more quirky characters—And remember the great Mike Sekowsky’s attempt to give WW an Emma Peel makeover. I’d be more interested in doing a sort of Brav...

SPOILERS!!!!!! FF: the End #4 . . . . . . . . . . . aHA! I was right....Valeria's "point" was no accident. That's one thing I LOVE about Alan's work..... he's just so meticulous. Nothing in his art seems to be an accident or superfulous. Plus there are just so many hints peppered throughout. "She-Hu...

Oh I knew I'd get some crap for using the word "rough"! :) I certainly didn't mean it to be a negative comment. There are many great artists who have a sketchy style. I offer my sincerest apology if I've offended anyone. Maybe I just love the art so much..... inspecting it so closely... that I'm see...

I had a similar question that I posted on the FF thread in the "Other" section but I'll repost here..... This first issue is classic Davis! There's a slow setup that promises alot of fun down the road. I'm thrilled to finally be on another all Alan adventure. One thing I noticed a few pages in was t...

Oh, and P.S. The "Rough Cut" edition was already bagged and marked at about $10 before they hit the shop's shelves! :( If I thought Alan was getting any of that cash, I'd have bought it.

This first issue is classic Davis! There's a slow setup that promises alot of fun down the road. I'm thrilled to finally be on another all Alan adventure. One thing I noticed a few pages in was the inking. It was sketchier than usual and I was wondering if Davis' (and/or Farmer's) style was evolving...

I'm not sure how many people notice but Alan really does coreograph his characters. Seems most artist just show random punches and kicks that are just beauty shots. Alan's seem to be frames editted from a film. A well coreographed film. Ya know, it's the subtle stuff! God is in the detail. That's wh...

Nightcrawler question.

Alan, Forgive me for not knowing the specific issue, but towards the end of your run on Excalibur there was one scene where Nightcrawler's powers are being evaluated in a Danger Room-esque moment. The scientist comments on Nightcrawler seeming to be a second generation mutant because his physical ad...
