Wow!

I'm going through some serious withdrawal.

I don't posses a Blackberry but I thought for sure when i got to my vacation spot i could just get online though a telephone dial-up. No such luck, the phone line in the house we're staying is down! today I managed to find a local hotel that has free internet so I'm hanging in the lobby doing a little catch up. It really is amazing how we become a slave to this technology.

Anyway, here's the colors by Richard Isanove on the Wolverine: Origins cover.

Talk to you cats in a week.

See ya in the funnybooks,
JQ
whoa
dude, god look at that. I mean LOOK at that COVER. Geez!
You guys are geniuses. Or genii, the make-believe plural of geniuses.
Congrats! Have a good holiday!

No e-mail?!?
He he he... yeah. I was stuck in Hawai'i for a week with no e-mail or websurfing. D'oh! In order to survive, I had to spend a lot of time on the beach or doing just about anything else. But I survived! And so shall you, Joe!

The cover looks great!!! But then again, why wouldn't it? Definitely inspiring me to pick up my pencils again and go at it.

Does this mean Joe Fridays, I mean THE NEW Joe Friday's will be delayed this week? Say it ain't so, Joe!

Awesome cover, by the way!

Covers great
It's great to see the final product of that awesome cover. U deserve that vacation.

Aww. :o)
First of all, the cover is simply amazing. Really. I've said it before, but after all the blood sweat and tears that you put into this cover, it really truly paid off. This cover alone and all the frustration that went along with it alone are reason enough for you to deserve your vacation among your other hard work. I hope you are having fun and enjoying it!

(P.S. I know its hard to be away from a computer. Be thankful you aren't away from a cell phone as well. When I'm without a cell I feel like I'm floating in some abyss detached from the world. Really. Lol.)

Again, have fun and enjoy you deserve no less.

Wow, that's awesome!
So you overlapped some of the characters and made it into one. Cool. I'll see you at Comic Con.

Holy crap, that cover totally came alive; the tentacles really seem to be whipping out at you. I'm really impressed and wanna shout out my thanks for showing us the stages of the creative process, Joe.
It increases my appreciaton for a fine piece of art like that, having been given a glimpse at how it came into being.

Cheers man, hope you had a good vacation!

Wild. The colours are all too warm. I think it needs some cools in there.

Posted by underscore on 2006-07-09 09:48:46
Yeah..
Omega Red and Wolverine in 1 cover. U RULE!!!

Posted by jandresomega on 2006-07-09 17:42:35
unplug
Yeah, I just got back from two weeks of not being on the net and it was... refreshing. Trash the cell phone. That thing is pure poison to the soul. Don't just vacation; recreate!

Talk about a cool cover.
That's pretty cool stuff, there, mr. Quesada. I like it a lot. I saw the book you did with Kevin Smith at the store earlier today, the Daredevil one (of course), and I liked it a lot.

By the way, was the hero con in the gigantic convention center just outside the main city? I've been there many times, if so, for the Christmas thing they do every year, ugh...Used to live there, myself. Charlotte rocks.

But, again, great cover. Love the colors, too. The warm colors do a good job with themselves.

Savvy

Nice cover but...
... I miss the old school "wings" on wolverine's mask. Then again its fresh and you cant keep rehasing the same look so I approve. OMEGA RED looks awesome.

Nice to see how artists do their thing.
