Your 91st Co(s)mic ComicBook B'Cast.

Hi, thanks for dropping by for Your 91st Co(s)mic ComicBook B'Cast. So what am I going to share for this edition of the B'Cast? Well, I'll tell ya, I'm going to put together a few more pics of George Perez's work. So I'm working on that but before I put that out, here's a look at some of my favorite comic covers.
This is my all time favorite comic book cover. This is the issue of The Mighty Thor that introduced Beta Ray Bill.  I love what Walt Simonson did for this cover. I can remember when I first saw this cover and wondered to myself.. .who in the world is that!!??
Another favorite of mine is this cover by Dale Keown and Mark Farmer. I love Keown's art on the Incredible Hulk but there's another reason why this is another favorite of mine, an appearance by the U-Foes. Great cover!
I've always been a fan of John Byrne. I love his work on Alpha Flight and Fantastic Four. This issue of The Incredible Hulk remains my favorite as it features the Bi-Coastal Avengers as they take on The Incredible Hulk. Another great issue and great cover by John Byrne.
Another Walt Simonson cover. Simonson put his mark on Marvel's First Family as he did both the art and the script on Fantastic Four. For this issue, he took the FF into the time stream and brought a familiar face with them,  well two familiar faces. I'm talking about Iron Man and The Mighty Thor. Great cover!
After Walt Simonson left the Mighty Thor, I stopped reading Thor. .. until I saw this issue and I jumped back to reading the Mighty Thor.  Ron Frenz and Brett Breeding created some awesome covers for this title.
I like how Frenz and Breeding drew Thor in his battle armor. Their run on Thor remains a favorite of mine. Love their covers.
This is a recent cover. The cover is from The Immortal Hulk by Alex Ross. I love Alex Ross's art on this cover with the Absorbing Man taking on the Immortal Hulk.
Here's a cover from The Uncanny X-Men by Jim Lee and Scott Williams. Great cover.
I absolutely love this cover. Look at the beautiful detail by Liam Sharp. It is so striking and it just grabs your attention. Great work by Liam Sharp.
Here's the cover to X-O Manowar by Bart Sears and Ray Kryssing.
Okay, one more cover. Here's another favorite of mine. Featuring my favorite super villain team, none other than the U-Foes. Cover art by Sal Buscema and Al Milgrom.
That's a look at my all time favorite comic book covers. Hope you liked it. I enjoyed seeing these covers as I was posting them. I'm working on more editions of Your Co(s)mic ComicBook B'Cast and I'll post them soon.
Thanks for dropping by. Take care Comic Fan!

Your 82nd Co(s)mic ComicBook B'Cast

Hi there Comic fans....it only took me a year to start posting again.  Only one year.  I took some time off to do other things but I never gave up on this humble blog of mine.  In that one year, I took some time to settle my work issues.  As optimistic as that sounds, I've managed to get settled in to my new work environment and it only took me a year to do.  So as you might imagine, the past year has had it's ups and downs.  I revived this blog a year ago only to get sidelined (again) but I am back (again) and I'm going to give it another shot.

What do I have this time around?  Well, It's pictures, lotsa pictures, well a few.  hope you like them.
One of my favorite covers by Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti.  I love this cover, not only because of the artwork but because of the gimmick cover.  A wraparound cover which is stunningly beautiful. X-O Manowar # 0.
Another beautiful gimmick cover by Joe Quesada.  I'm not sure who inked this but I don't believe it's Palmiotti.  Another wraparound gimmick cover, chromium cover I think it was.  Bloodshot # 0.
Recognize this cover?  Yep, this is the wraparound cover to X-Men: Prime by Bryan Hitch.  I believe this came after the conclusion of the Age Of Apocalypse Saga.  Another beautiful gimmick cover, loved this comic so much, I bought two copies.  Yeah, I was greedy back then. 
This is the wraparound cover to The Uncanny X-Men # 350 by Joe Madureira and (I think) Tim Townsend.  If I am wrong, please correct me.  Another one of those nice shiny covers.  I wish i bought another copy of this issue but I guess I didn't have enough cash with me at the time, if memory serves, this issue had a gatefold cover.  Really beautiful cover.
Remember I mentioned X-Men: age of Apocalypse?  Yep, this here is X-Men: Omega.  The conclusion to the AOA Saga.  X-Men: Omega featured a chromium wraparound cover by John Romita Jr and Klaus Janson.  Magneto and the X-Men take on Apocalypse to set things right again, to restore everything to it's proper order!
And that's it for this edition of Your Co(s)mic ComicBook B'Cast.
Thanks for dropping by and having a look at my blog.  I really appreciate it, you could have been somewhere else but you dropped by for a look and for that I thank you.  Till next time (hopefully not another year) take care, bye for now.

Your 116th Co(s)mic ComicBook B'Cast.

Here's a blast from the past. It's a classic featuring my favorite wall crawler and one of my favorite super-villains. This is t...
