I am SO JEALOUS you got to meet Bob McLeod! One of the most underappreciated artists IMO. He always gets overshadowed by Sienkiewicz, most people treat the book like it didn't even begin until #18. I wish I could tell him how much I appreciate the work he put into the book.
Moy is IMO the *definitive* Legion-2 artist. He's the guy who made that boot look distinctive and unique and gave it its own special flavor. Moy is to Legion-2 what Byrne is to the X-Men or Perez to the Titans. I'd love to see a scan of the Brainy he did for you.
Sounds like you had a lot of fun. I'm happy for you!
I think her feelings are more mixed--and more to the point, she knew I wanted to read it. :)
Waid on Incredibles? Wow, I'm *there*.
Oh, man, I know. And, lessee, I took notes...there are two planned story arcs so far, one where Mr. Incredible is slowly losing his powers and trying to hide it from his family, and one where Jack-Jack comes down with a disease that spreads superpowers among the populace.

I like Sienkiewicz better, but that's no slur on McLeod; Sienkiewicz is one of my all-time favorite artists. I'm glad we got them both.

He's got a website with an email address--not the same as in person, I know, but unless you're planning to make a trip to the States...

I really hope you like it, because it's my favorite comic book story in a long time. I'd go so far as to say that it's the best comic book story since around the mid-eighties. I loved it more than Waid's Captain America or F4, more than Busiek's Avengers or Power Company. Nicieza's X-Force is a tough tough fight, but in the right mood I might squeak SLOSH even above that, which is saying a LOT if you know how much I love Fabe's X-Force.
He's got a website with an email address--not the same as in person, I know, but unless you're planning to make a trip to the States...Well I've already emailed him my love in the past, so...well, I suppose I could do it again. :)
I figured if I didn't get to it before EMC, I never would, and that would be a shame.
Are you less sick?
I am...not more sick, is about all that can be said.
You need to read more Mosaic, seriously. :D
I read #5 (I haven't read most of my stuff either, but I thought I should get to that one), which is at least as weird as #1 and which I am fairly sure I do not understand. No question this is Not Your Average Superbook.
Mosaic #5 probably makes a lot more sense read both in the context of the rest of Mosaic and what was going on with Hal in v3 at the time--I won't swear that it makes very *much* sense even then, but, you know. I love it anyway.
You know my fondness for Hal's gratuitous fight scenes with his friends.
I am sorry you are not better, on several different levels. :(
The Hawkeye issue I bought is somewhere in the stack of things that I badly need to read, but I'm so very glad you posted scans. Threesome! :D

Are you less sick? I am more sick. So is likeadeuce. (Nothing serious. Sore throats for both of us.)
Cully Hammer was awesome. You need to read more Mosaic, seriously. :D
I haven't had nearly enough time to actually *read* my Con acquisitions. I am looking forward to Sunday, though!

And Mark Waid is pretty damn awesome, that's definitely been established. :)
