Yeah....I noticed that I had seen tons of one shots of Mark Brooks artwork recently, but never any full books. His name came up as the comic that came with Doc Ock had him featured as the primary artist, and I was reminded of his work from Ultimate Spider-Man. I really like the way Jean and Logan look on that page you posted.

It's an art shot, but since she was just released as a Marvel Legend, I thought that I'd share this cover he did of Spider-Gwen, which I really happened to like.

He really could have used ratchet joints.

I should have been more descriptive, as I should have realized that not everyone here was into Marvel Legends during the Toy Biz era.

Doc has psuedo ratchet joints in the legs, elbows and knees, as they click into place as you move them. He has the traditional ball joints in the shoulder which could turn into helicopter arms after a while, but they are nice and tight at the moment, and since I don't play or pose figures as much as I used to, doesn't worry me. He is also constructed of a harder plastic, nothing like the gummy stuff that Hasbro uses now, so he doesn't warm or bow as easily under his weight. He just feels sturdier in the hand overall.
