I am not happy. It wasn't an issue of quality that's for sure. Maybe a known Marvel hero in the book would've helped it. Oh well.

Barry what's next?!

So care to tease us about the "new home" Barry or can we run wild with speculation.

Wha?!? I've been reading and enjoying this book. (Maybe I should have posted about it more.)

This sucks!

I'm looking forward to your next project though Barry (I'm still rooting for an Imperial Guard project! Maybe a little Nightcrawler mixed in there somewhere?!? [Big Grin] )

So I've been looking at the comic news site this week and nothing yet. Still looking for BK news.

Anybody read the latest issue?! I haven't yet.

Hi Ultra Jorge
Sorry the announcement is postponed until next week - because I had an extra bit of work to do in readiness for it....

Sorry to leave you on tenderhooks [Smile]

07/07 The Order #1 - 57,264
08/07 The Order #2 - 40,274 (-30.0%)

12/07 The Order #5 - 26,311 (-11.5%)
12/07 The Order #6 - 24,446 ( -7.1%)

Cancelled with issue #10, for fairly obvious reasons. Although it’s starting to level out, it’s simply too little, too late.

So I read the Order #7 and it was great!

Hellrung really shined here. The comic was basically a conversation between Namor and Hellrung. And that conversation was the main conflict!

I really hope they retool the Order a bit more in the future. Explain how Tony and Pym gave these guys powers and all of that. I can see them as a hi-tech type team.

Anyways, Barry's art looked amazing. I like that inker(Jon Sibal). The flashback panels are EXACTLY what I imagined when I first heard Kitson at Marvel. I thought maybe the FF? But deep down I really wanted him to do a new Invaders book! (imagine Fraction & Kitson on Invaders!) Here I got FF & Invaders! Beautiful! Great job Barry.

Just flipped through it again.

Barry some of those flashback are very dynamic! The style looks almost slightly different. Is that you experimenting or possibly the inker? Obviously you went all out!

The golems remind me how great his Blok looks. (remember the cover)

And Heavy & Supernaut's armors remind me how amazing a Barry Iron Man book would be. That's another one I suspected he'd be on. Tell me Layton inking Kitson isn't perfect for Iron Man? [Wink]

Hi Ultra Jorge
The secret to the different look of the flashback pages is that they were inked by me [Smile] I also inked the two page spread of the Order clearing up. I also inked the last five pages of #8. Glad you liked the book!

Hope you'll like my Spider-man work as much! (You can see my first cover along with the interviews about the new job I did for Wizard, Newsarama, CBR and at Marvel.com.) I'm really excited about it as you can probably tell! [Smile]

Even though you're not doing full pencils for the last issue of the Order, I challenge you to at least lay out a final panel that's as touching as your last LSH panel*. <<throws gauntlet at Mr. Kitson's feet>>


*By "last LSH panel" I mean last up to this point, because as I'm typing, there's the Mike Grell-drawn variant covered Action 861 in my desk drawer. So I'm looking forward to your Legion work in the Empire/Legion crossover in 2017.

That would be tough especially with all the history behind the LSH that I was thinking about with that panel.
I'll try...
