The Avengers – My favorite superhero movie ever.

Although I’m a comic artist, when I was young I mainly was into Gold Key comics and the storys of Uncle Scrooge by the great Carl Barks. But for a few years when Marvel was doing home subscription delivery of comics my mother was nice enough to get me two comic series for me for about a year. The first was Elfquest (which led to a major obsession with anything that the Pinis created for the next decade) and a superhero title, the Avengers. So for more reasons than the true to character portrayals by the actors and the incredible visuals and fantastic storyline that was being promised, I really had high hopes for the Avengers movie.

It didn’t let me down in the least, and I cannot wait for the sequel to come out.
If you’re a frequent visitor to the Games Workshop website this is probably old news for some of you, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that a new Games Workshop retail shop has come to the midwest! This photo was taken about a week before the shop opened, but it was a great sight on opening day to see all of the GW fans, players and collectors coming out to support the new store.

Until next time, support your local artists, be kind to your fellow beings, and always take the path less traveled!
