Even with the uncertainty about which one is Thermal and which is Stasis I consider it a slam-dunk, because jeez, who can tell?!<BR/><BR/>Shoot me an e-mail with an address and I'll get this in the mail to you, Fred.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments, everybody!Maxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748486083449206825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679362097182696260.post-26102361495917148602009-01-20T18:26:00.000-06:002009-01-20T18:26:00.000-06:00I technically did not guess or use google... I use...I technically did not guess or use google... I used my copy of Brigade #1 vol2<BR/><BR/>By the way, Marat Mychaels' art improved on vol2. I think Rob had something to do with the plotting or art on issue 1 vol1... but I am not sure..<BR/><BR/>I know it was standard Image, but I admit that I liked it then... I wonder what I would think of a complete run of both volumes, or a trade nowadays?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679362097182696260.post-60579280177420997112009-01-20T15:03:00.000-06:002009-01-20T15:03:00.000-06:00Fred: I'm impressed and a little frightened.Snell:...Fred: I'm impressed and a little frightened.<BR/><BR/>Snell: Ha! They still sound overpriced!<BR/><BR/>Dave: Oh momma - those interiors. They make the cover look like the Mona Lisa. Blotches of color standing in for backgrounds, pointy stumps masquerading as limbs in perspective, bizarre anatomy ... you could go on and on.<BR/><BR/>Too be fair, even though they looked just like Liefeld's work, the inside pages were perpetrated by Marat Mychaels. Judging by his Web site, Mychaels has come a ways since his Brigade days (but it still has that Image vibe).Maxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748486083449206825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679362097182696260.post-20931755639445283492009-01-20T09:45:00.000-06:002009-01-20T09:45:00.000-06:00It wasn't just the cover.

I even used to use Marat Michaels art as a template for my own... probably the reason I am not an artist now..<BR/><BR/>Anyway here is who I think is on this cover: <BR/>Center - Battlestone<BR/><BR/>Left Top to Bottom:<BR/>Kayo<BR/>Stasis or Thermal<BR/>Coldsnap (before his awesome looking ice form)<BR/><BR/>Right Top to Bottom:<BR/>Seahawk<BR/>Stasis or Thermal<BR/>Atlas<BR/><BR/>Hmm...
