The term phase suggests moving out of sync with our physical world. ••• I don't remember when Chris first used the term "phase" to describe what Kitty does. It's not a particularly accurate usage, whenever it first showed up. As I defined Kitty's power, she was able to alter and control the valances between atom. Since most matter is largely empty space, this allowed her atoms to pass between the atoms of solid objects, and vice-versa. It did not mean the other atoms flowed around her, as if she was swimming. Not "swimming thru mud," in other words. This also means that Juggernaut bit doesn't work. Sure, she could pull him down into the floor, but he would become "one with the floor," his atoms mingled with those of the floor. He would not be able to break out. More likely he'd be dead.

MODOK with mechanical spider legs ***** I've had a soft spot for MODOK since Tales of Suspense but was unfamiliar with the spider legs... I like 'em.

I have revised my MMW and the term "phase" 1st appears in X-Men Annual #4 and X-Men #141.

JB, you have tossed in balloons and captions to a few pages. I would imagine you have an outline or story that you are following in your head as you do the pages, but does that extend down to the actual scripting? Do you imagine what will be said from page to page? I ask because the visuals for the "birds" reveal with Wolverine seems driven by that bit of dialog.

Looking at the last page, it made me wonder if the perspective grid ever influences the panel shapes.

Kitty gets to have a face-to-face that makes Nightcrawler seem downright handsome!
The face in that page lost some of its pure hideousness that Kirby gave it. MODOK has been treated like a joke for a while, but he would be quite terrifying to see in real life. Just ask my son. It took him a year to get over his fear of my MODOK Build-A-Figure. It is very faithful to the classic look.

Found an online comment that says this project "looks weird".Typically, no further info offered. Another said s'he liked the pages because they were "less cartoony". Than WHAT was not offered, either.

JB....just ignore the internet....PLEASE......or it'll ruin all the fun you're having scratching this itch.
•••
"Found an online comment that says this project "looks weird"."
Says a person who has probably never learned how comic books are made.
•••
"Another said s'he liked the pages because they were "less cartoony"."
This one baffles me too. I don't think you've ever drawn anything that looked cartoony (unless you meant too). If fact as I say this, I wonder if s'he meant when compared to other cartoony-styled comic book artists???

••• JB, when you're done with your itch, I would really like to learn more about your process of integrating 3D models into your pages.
