Maru. Mr. Tryp. X-Cell. The Isolationist. Madrox has gone against his fair share of unseemly and unfamiliar
antagonists of late, but some villains never go out of style. Like Sentinels. Big, honking Sentinels. Oh yes, this is going to be fun!

Cool look with the dry inks, or it could also be black color pencil, whatever you used it works very well!

No sweat! I was just curious. Actually the final was WAY different than what I originally turned in. I thought my original made a lot more sense, compositionally and with color theory, but the corrections sent it flying in a different direction.

I didn't see any other coloured versions, or get asked anything colour-wise on this cover.

Yeah...I wish they would have. I have a feeling you would've liked the other background better. It's ok as is.

Email me the old version

BTW I just noticed one of the characters is coloured incorrectly. Starbolt in the top right hand corner of the front page: [link]

Is it too much hassle or too late to change? I don't even know when this thing is supposed to come out Might have to ask Bill.

Well crap. I'm pretty sure it went to print at least a week ago. I didn't recognize most of the characters, so I was relying on the editors to let me know where I screwed up.

You know I didn't really know most of the characters either... and the ones I did know, I knew very little about. I had to put together a huge reference folder for this job. I actually started reading some of the Annihilation stuff to get an idea of who most of the characters were, and it was actually a really good read. Turns out the cosmic stuff is some of the best stuff Marvel is putting out at the moment.

I think at some stage I did type out a list of all the characters on there, but I think that was when I was doing layouts, and I added a few extra characters here and there in the final too.
