This is one of those things that can change day to day - but I will say one that seems to have the most effect on me is Rai #5 - you can feel the sorrow and the lonelyness, the sheer desolation of poor Tohru looking at it.

Ninjak #3. I really like the colors and you can tell Colin can't be with the woman he wants, but you know she is always thinking about him.

Since I can't figure out the image button here is the link.

Perhaps, but Ninjak's history is much more realistic that Wolvie's.

Wow - comparing Chris Claremont to Bill Shakespeare? I'll take that anyday! At least, back when CC was good... and discounting the fact that WS didn't really write all those stories and plays.....

Hey, we're talking X-men in part of that - I don't want "realism" there.

Well he's definitely the WS of X-men. Everything the X-men are and everything they will be is because of him. A major era truly ended when Jim left the book and the next one has yet to start :thumb:

And I'm f*in sick of waiting! :lol:
