| Mainframe: "We can't be certain, but he may have de-materialized". Ha! Troynos: The Feister cover is amazing. All those little faces hiding in there. It needs to be blown up and shown in all its glory. Could spend hours trying to figure out who is who. umanumanamo: Using that cover as my laptop's wallpaper right now. I'm digging this story! rip_cord: Feister's cover is brilliant!
the more i see this CC, the more i dig him. tom feister: Thanks guys! Glad you like it. There are a few board members hidden in that cover. If you can get your hands on the "virgin" cover you can have some fun trying to find the pics hidden in there. Troynos: I'm going to be hunting for the virgin cover. Work of art. Got it digitally and it can zoom up pretty good before starts getting pixelated. Makes it a tad easier to hunt.
I know a couple of the members hiding in there, just don't know where... yet...
Tom,
How many seperate images make up the cover? How long did it take to make? Trooper13: I'm telling you, that cover could be blown up, framed, and hung on a wall in a home. It's brilliant, and perfect for Zartan. What a great idea, and beautiful execution. Inspired. Trooper13: Quote:

It's nice to see a Commander that isn't a buffoon. I love how they've made him the CC we should have always seen, but still kept some of what made him a great character. You can "hear" his frustration with the people under his command, and how they try his patience. Mainframe: I found Betty White in the cover! Troynos: I've read the issue already. If you're a fan of the new CC, you'll love this issue, that's all I have to say. Immortal_Joker: Hope he gets the hood soon i really dont like the faceplate Shin Densetsu: Quote:

Battle mask>Pac Man disguise Troynos: I prefer the new helmet actually. It's grown on me. I'm not a big fan of the casual business wear though. Trooper13: I dig the new look, and I can see, much like with the 25th figures, a helmet going over it and giving us a more traditional look. I dig his new look, and if we ever see Serpentor's arm of Cobra and The Commander's involved in some sort of ceremony I could see the hood making an appearance. tom feister: Quote:

In the end it didn't go the way I had planned, but I'm still content with the end result. There are over 2000 images that make up this cover. Immortal_Joker: Quote:

Battle mask>Pac Man disguise | Problem is he is not in battle, if he is pulling the strings at least use the hood so readers can see into the eyes of pure unadulterated evil instead of hiding behind a faceplate. Hell we dont even know if he is making faces at the reader behind the faceplate while they are reading it LOL! | All times are GMT -4. The time now is 11:52 PM. | | Cool Stuff |   | |
