That is great!

Anyone know what Sean Chen is working on these days? Still drawing comics even...?

(Honestly i don't follow the big 2 much at all, so for all i know he could be the main artist for superman or wolverine).

I would love if they did a front and back cover, with this being the back, to keep the cover design consistent.

I would be sad to see Nord go but Chen would be a good alternate artist. :thumb:

Exactly. Apparently Nord only did X-O #19 in that style because it's very time consuming. Understandable, as he's basically doing the jobs of penciller, inker, and colorist. (I know, there's not ink-work, but he's got to do the layouts and the color; that takes time). Have him and Crain take turns on Rai and open up X-O to another artist.
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

I'd hate to see Nord completely leave XO but having him spell Crain on Rai is an idea I could live with. If not Chen...is Ivan Reis finished on his exclusive at DC?

I didn't realize until I read the interview that the reflection below him is of the new X-O design. What a great idea. :clap:

Okay, don't know if this is a stretch, but the original X-O #25 also featured this cover design (the trade dress, that is), and was also an extra-sized issue, due to a certain first full appearance…

I might have missed it, but I haven't seen any mention of what Cary Nord is working on this year - someone posted that he told them he is busy doing something... but it hasn't been announced yet, has it? :hm:

Is this a 1:100 incentive?

If so, does anyone know if one can still make money selling bodily fluids or kidneys? :hm:

I really need this cover.
