It’s funny. I’ve no doubt that the women Land traced for this cover are all very attractive. I can’t ID any of them myself, but he only traces models and actresses (and…

Ultimate Power 5
I went out of town for a few days and didn’t do this. I didn’t miss this series, lemme tell ya. Let’s just get this over with. Thor and Hyperion and still…
Ultimate Power 4
That same Kate Beckinsale head has been on 3 out of 4 covers. Reed’s hands are clearly not attached to those arms. Let that boy cook. Matt Ryan is out as inker,…

ASM 541
Tellin’ ya, that scratchy, raw look is just cool. This one almost has a Ted McKeever vibe. This month, we pick up just where we left off, with Kingpin saying he doesn’t…
