Hate to say it, but you are way in the wrong here, boyo! That kind of close-minded thinking leads to little or no improvement ever. And that kind of stigma placed on it is why amateur artists never get any better. And there are a lot more than Neal who admit to that fact.

That really shows a ROM not to be messed with - it's like the gun has already been fired and everything is still red as a result...<br /><br />That's the thing about genius guys like Sal, they created so many sweet characters it's hard to keep track or pick a favourite. Starhawk reminds my of the 90's when even the comic shop owner looked at you as if to say 'You know for the GoTG you could get an X-Men book instead?' I think if I had to pick my top Sal creation it would be either Warpath from the Hellions or Mephisto. But heck even the UFoes those bad knock offs of the FF he made so well that they are living on way past what knock offs usually do.<br /><br />Have a good time at work mr.

Damn that's awesome looking. <br />Already told you how much I liked that other one... ROM is so shiny! Very well-put-together piece. <br />Yup, Steve Gerber and Sal Buscema... Starhawk is the light and the giver of light. Quasar and Her's kid, right there...<br />It's more like he, and his adopted sister- took turns occupying the same physical space- while the other was in a "limbo". -More like Rick Jones/Genis-Vell than Firestorm- who was two people fusing into one. <br />But Starhawk was separated from Aleta a few times as well... I love the old Guardians of The Galaxy title. (Big shock, right?) and I will sue you!!! <br /><br />Damn, dude- good luck with work, see ya when that schedule is done!
