Mighty Marvels / DC Team

Greetings, Fellow Heroclix Enthusiasts…
 
I went all out after being gone for a while!

Let’s start with the mighty Marvels: The Armoured Spider-man  was made with an Armoured Spider-man and a Spider-man from the Mutant Mayhem set. Armour was stripped off and glued onto the other.  I reused the lamp-pole but it just wouldn’t stay up straight, (insert Viagra joke here), so I cut the pole away from the “concrete” base and slid a model brush protector sleeve onto the pole and it was a perfect fit. Comparing the old one with my redo, the pole has increased in diameter but not by much and is now completely straight. The paint job is just dry brushing silver over flat black.

PRISON PIT GN (MR)
FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS
(w) Johnny Ryan
(a) Johnny Ryan

The balls-to-the-wall series returns this summer with more action and mayhem like only Johnny Ryan can deliver-again starring CF, the shirtless outer space barbarian antihero who remains damned to the Prison Pit (a vast wasteland beneath the crust of a barren planet, populated by the worst of the worst, where violence is the only law and evil creatures roam free). In Prison Pit: Book Two, the second graphic novel in a trilogy, CF tries to get revenge against the evil behemoth that took his arm, and then winds up playing an unwilling participant in an elaborate escape attempt from the Pit. Prison Pit blends Ryan’s fascination with WWE wrestling, grindhouse cinema, first-person action video games, Gary Panter’s “Jimbo” comics, and Kentaro Miura’s “Berserk” Manga into a brutal and often hilarious showcase of violence like no other comic book ever created.

And why is Horrible’s sidekick, Moist, so . . . um . . . well, you’ll find out!
