Ash by Joe Quesada
I have the greatest respect for all fire-fighters, and was very appreciative when Joe attempted a Super Hero based on real heroes

Pandora
Sepia Horseman (minus the sepia)
Withering (why a regular joe is in the Opus version is beyond me)

The True Frankenstein Monster by Berni Wrightson
Is the creature the real monster, or maybe the twisted Herr Doctor? No, the real monster is society. I just found out today that Wrightson's latest Frankenstein endeavor will experience a long delay, but , hey, isn't it great to see the Berni of old once again doing his thing? "The devil is in the details." I for one can wait. I just hope he throws us another barbarian bone someday

Triple Action (Wha?) by Jack Kirby
Here's another of my "I can't believe I missed this at publication" publications. I know it's latter day Kirby, not Kirby prime, but it makes me happy. Way too much signage, and how you can team up four heroes and get triple action is beyond me, but somehow, it really grooves, and the inker was spot on (sic). Nowadays, what really irks me is it's always out of stock at the shops. Please embiggen

Phantom Force by Jack Kirby
Double entende on the title- as I've been told (see comments on my Are you sure?post) and as I've read, lots of Kirby art on these projects at Image and then Genesis West, but his art is clooged from a kickin Bruce Lee story in the seventies and some team concepts from the eighties
I love this last idea (Shades of the Silver Surfer!)
