I bought my 5 copies! 4 extra to support Steve's return. Let's hope he gets plenty of more opportunities in the future!

Gorgeous stuff, Steve. As always...

I got my two regular copies and three extra. And I made sure my shop still had at least another five on hand. I know it isn't much but its a small shop.

Thanks, guys.

You are noble gents and true.

I'm really glad you liked the issue.

As for the "wind tunnel" effect on Cham, I'm just trying to make his ears and antennae expressive. Cats, dogs, rabbits, and other animals, are expressive in that way. I figure, why should Reep look like his antennae and ears are prosthetic devices applied by a Hollywood makeup artist?

Steve

I guess I get what your saying Steve but my ears don't move like that!! I'm no dog but I'm no god either!!

I suppose the antennae are OK but maybe not so much?? The ears I would leave alone. Of course he is a shape shifter but in my way of thinking that it's either easier for Reep to keep changing and it's hard to keep one form or it's tiring to keep changing all the time so he likes to keep one form as much as possible. In my thinking I would choose the latter. I would think it would be extra energy burned if he were 'expressing' himself all the time.

I am an artist myself and I have enjoyed the various visual incarnations but that was always a question I had, why some artists are more straight forward with Cham's ears and antennae and others, like yourself, try to bring more interesting character attributes to someone like that and yet to me, and it's only my opinion, sometimes it's just a little overboard! No offense, I'm a big fan but I was just wondering!

Richard AKA:

I posted a rather wordy appraisal of Steve's current Legion work on the Legion #34 thread on the Legion page. I really like what Steve is doing with the characters. I like how he's maintaining some of my favorite things that Coipel did and I like Wildfire's new suit!

Thanks, Dean. I appreciate your taking the time to mention a few things that you liked from the issue.

Of course, I'm more inclined to think that I'm taking up where I left off with Brainiac 5's messy hair look. Back in the eighties I made a point of showing Brainy's absent minded disregard for his personal appearance. His hair would grow longer and shaggier for months, until he would suddenly take note of it and get it all cut back to the Cut Swan hairstyle, at which point it would begin to grow shaggy again. I figured that someone like Brainiac 5 (Like Albert Einstein) had more important concerns than his physical appearance.

Glad you liked it, dude.

Steve

Yeah? heheh, I like that.

Hey Mr. Steve Lightle, really enjoyed your work on this ish.
