Super early, but I’m completely soured by the whole Kickstarter Jusko book thing, figured I get this thread kicked off for some distraction. Looking forward to seeing everyone’s pickups through the month. These came in today to start it off.
2016MM legacy sketch by Mitch Ballard
This one is kinda interesting in that the legacy sketches are all after Jusko….but not Jusko’s art
in the 2016 set itself, unless they are aftermarket. After all, the sketch artist shouldn’t have access to Jusko’s MM16 art since they were creating the sketches before the set came out (correct me if I’m wrong). This one is of the MM16 Lady Sif card, yet is not an aftermarket, what gives? The answer is interestingly that this art was out there before the set, way back in 2014, as a large SDCC promo (the other was Deadpool).
2022MM Venom AP by Patricio carrasco- this artist is based out of Chile and really puts out some outstanding stuff, this is my second piece of his now. The other is a Black Cat.
2022MM Wolverine vs Sabretooth AP by Kursat Cetiner (after Jusko’s MM16 battle spectra)
Very true to Jusko’s card. I have a question for artists on the board (lord knows I’m not one)- where do replicas of existing art like this, or say sketches of movie-stills, fall on the difficulty spectrum? Is it pretty easy for artists to do, or still involve hard work? Great job by the artist, and he does credit “after Jusko” on front, which is appropriate.
2022MM Black Panther by Ethen Beavers…bit of a comicy/Nightmare before Christmas vibe
