LCS FTW !!!

Looks like the rumors of Diamond cancelling the re-released version of The Watcher (again) were entirely unfounded !














Typically, I don't collect back issues, because I prefer to spend my money on prints and commissions from comic artists that I like, but I couldn't pass on these issues of Fantastic Four that have been autographed by Walt Simonson (his signature is inside the comic, like the orange sticker says, lol) and Paul Ryan.

Sure, Ryan gets a LOT of heat over designing The Invisible Woman's skimpy 90's uniform, but aside from that, he is, IMO, an entirely under-appreciated artist, who deserves a place in the pantheon of Marvel's definitive 90's artists. He's definitely among my top 5 favorite 90's Marvel artists, along with Andy & Adam Kubert, Jim Lee, and Mark Bagley.
