Steve Rude is set to release 13 Variant covers to his upcoming book Steve Rude: Artist in Motion. Thirteen covers doesn’t sound like a big deal until you realize there are only going to be 13 copies published, with 12 for sale to the public. What makes the covers so special? Each cover is a unique original watercolor bound to the book.

Prices aren’t cheap, each book will range between $300 and $500 depending on the artwork inside.

There is a reservation list for those interested in purchasing one of the copies. Five are already on the list, and interested parties can contact John Fleskes at info@fleskpublications.com.

Or - “Further Proof That Tom Grice Is WRONG, Sir!  WRONG!”

Welcome to Bruce Otter Friday, the day where we do everything we can to steal away the disposable income of former comic fan, Bruce Otter!  I’ve always said that no one’s opinion can really be incorrect, as opinion is merely the statement of the facts as you’ve experienced them.  “I think that Actress X is attractive” is an opinion, with the only truly valid counter-statement being “I think Actress X is NOT attractive.”  A common problem comes when people mistake the statement “I think Actress X is not attractive” as interchangable with the statement “Actress X is not attractive.”  This is most emphatically NOT the case.  So when Tommy started needling me about his belief that Nexus “sucks,” I had to take it with a grain of salt.  Whatever issues of Nexus he may have read obviously didn’t work for him.  Luckily, we all know the aphorism regarding Tommy’s veracity, but what evidence exists to support MY opinion?
