Our final issue of MCP on the blog, I think. And, as I have come to expect, its Spider-Man short is by people I’ve never heard of. What an odd thing. Also…
WEB 106
And here he is. Stephen Baskerville appears to add a patina of 90s ugliness to Alex’s art. Would really like to know the story on how this occurred. Forced by editorial? Requested…
WEB 105
In the back of my mind, this story has me wondering what the rules of my Spider-Man drawings are. Do have to draw the 40 billion people in this story? They’re not…

WEB 103
Watching Alex Saviuk adapt to the 90s-ification of comics is kind of a bummer. He was kind of the last of the old school, the last newish guy to be doing the…
