Hi Guys Here's the scans of the latest cover, from layout to inks. No thumbnail I'm afraid this month - I think it went astray somewhere between Baltimore and Holland! As usual I have to thank Nightcrawler for hosting the images - hope you enjoy them!

Beautiful! I keep staring at them looking for more clues. I think that the unidentified flyer nearest the main robot is either Radiation Roy or some other new Legionnaire.

I think the second panel, before the lines are all darkened up, is actually better-looking...
The more I see the black and whites, the more I think that the coloring job isn't really doing the line art many favors.

Beautiful! I love the black & white covers. There's so much detail in that scene - the rubble from the buildings, the robot circuitry - how many hours did you spend on that?
Holy Cats of Egypt!

WOW! That is really beautiful, Barry. Congratulations. The detail is astonishing! I wonder do you ever want to just blow the deadline so that you can color the cover as well as pencil and ink it?
So what.

Hi Guys - Thanks again! There's probably about 20 hours work in that spread over two days, but it doesn't seem that long when I'm doing it. I would love to take longer over every page - I would absolutely love to be able to do the whole process for every single page and ignore every deadline....but then we'd have an awful lot of fill-in issues  Having a great inker like Mick for the interiors really helps with letting the pages go out in pencil knowing they are in good hands. As for coloring the covers - I'd have to spend a few months mastering Photoshop first! I just about manage to do a few rough guides occasionally, but I'm a long way from being able to do the sort of finished look guys like Nathan can achieve....maybe one day though...

Great robot thumb! Love the tech drawing on the robo-hand. It's my favorite part!

Great! Another beautiful cover by Barry! I'm lacking words to say how this cover is great.
I like that we see the whole team on it, that means it is something big, so the whole team is needed. i hope that it means some characters will have some more panel time, i can't wait to see some in actions.
