Palatinus' OverPower Forum

I've just started back through Maddrox and X-Factor with the Peter David X-Factor Omnibus. I never really thought Peter David was a good writer til I read the X-Factor Investigations stuff.

I love so many of them. Bryne and Davis had some solid years of work.  I like Art Adams from those days. I've sort of forgotten about Salvador Larroca. He was good.

I think that Mike Zeck the guy who did the original Secret Wars and many other things may be one of the most overlooked artists from the 80s.

Jim Lee and Todd McFarlane. Mark Bagley may be the most prolific good comic artist ever. When lots of artists couldn't even meet their deadlines he was drawing 2 monthly comics! Well.

Greg Capullo, Tony Daniel, and Darrick Robertson.

I love Scottie Young's baby covers. Mike Deodato and Clayton Crain. Pepe Larez (his Deadpool X-Force mini series is probably my favorite art ever.) It's as cool as I thought X-Force and Liefeld was when I was a kid.

I still like Quesada's stuff too. The Kuebert brothers. Especially the one who drew wolverine forever.

My faves include John Byrne (especially his earlier stuff), Alan Davis, Carlos Pacheco, Bill Willingham, and Salvador Larroca.

As always, awesome stuff!

I've regularly read comics for over four decades, and have around 14 long boxes full.

Sadly, for the last couple years I've pretty much quit reading new stuff, with the exception of Saga (which I collect in trades).

Welcome, Anyonecanbethebug!

That's too bad that you didn't get a warmer reception on FB.  I understand, as I felt one of the early responses I got somewhere was kinda rude, too.  That said, I continued on, and have found the community to be really welcoming and awesome, after that initial response.

Looking forward to seeing what you've made!

Hey! Sorry, stepped away for a bit! DM me and I'd be happy to talk more about the discord!

The forum could use some new blood - posting has been pretty slow for a while.  Maybe you could share some of your customs here on the board?  I like seeing other people's takes on characters.  That would be cool.  (In your "origin" scenario, I was the father who played with my kids.)

Yeah I feel the same way about the game itself. I'm "younger" (35), and I've gotten some folks into the game who are in their late-20s/early-30s, but can't get none of them to post/be active. I moderate an OP discord and there's a lot of activity there, but it's mostly just like 6 of us who don't like FB anymore.

I'll def post up some customs. I just wrapped up a set based off of the video game Hades, and my partner and I have Buffy (seasons 1 and 2) and Chrono Trigger sets in the works as well, so I'll post some goods up soon.
