Very nice commission!
And that's one mighty year of X-Men comics.

Really like the slicing through the Sentinel's fingers. Really like the commission.

Tricky request on this one! The customer wanted the blast to be exposing Wolverine's skeleton... and yet Wolverine should not be "blasted backward". Honestly sounds like two different ideas to me! Well done, JB... you made it work.

Feels like there's been more smaller requests the year (I am excited for my upcoming 11x17!) -- any large commissions currently on the list, JB?
I have a few ideas for large commissions... haven't settled on one yet...

…any large commissions currently on the list, JB?•• Several. Currently on the board (and for a while, with other things happening around it) is a 30x40 for Jim Warden. Beyond that, an 18x24 and a 20x30. It's up to about 30 commission so far this year (only some of which you have seen thusfar), which is ahead of last year. Maybe the recession realy IS over!

Sweet! The more commissions the better. I am on track for 2 or 3 this year. It will be good to be back in the game!

Way cooler than bone claws, most especially because bone claws contradict established continuity.

Easy to forget that Days of Future Past was only two issues. It would be beating a dead horse to discuss how many issues such a story would occupy today. Let's just recall how much awesomeness JB and CC fit into those two ... and, sadly, how much Claremont and others later mined for stories I, for one, found byzantine, alienating, and self-indulgent. But, y'know what, I don't need to read those stories. I can just read DoFP and enjoy that, all by itself.

Wondering what you (and the rest of the JBF) thought of this ad for the issue, JB?
I found it very... odd.

That ad is no worse, really, than the stupid copy they put on the cover of the actual issue.
Nothing like taking a dramatic moment and turning it into a joke!
