All of these drawings were made with charcoal and conté crayon during one session with a model. Each one was done in the range of 5-20 minutes. The last pic is of my new studio space, which I'm still in the process of setting up.

This is absurd.

I managed to pick up some side work appraising a friend of a friend's collection. Hopefully, there are some good Daredevils in there. Let me know if there are any DDs between #'s 75 and 90, and if your friend is ready to sell. I have a few holes to fill in that range. Will do, but I have a creeping suspicion that there are going to be a lot of 90's Image and similar in there.

This looks more and more like my kind of movie every time something new comes out about it.

Long story short: I liked it a lot.
With so many of the superhero movies and shows of the past couple of years all feeling the same, it's a breath of fresh air to see Fox and Marvel work together (for a change) to give us something different.
This isn't another superhero action series, although there is a good amount of action in the premier episode. It plays out more like a psychological thriller, with the viewer seeing the world from the perspective of the paranoid schizophrenic David Haller. To call him an unreliable narrator would be an understatement. It's almost impossible to place the story in any specific time period or location, because everything we see is an amalgamation of styles from the 1970s to today.
The one piece of context we can pull from the show is that it's likely taking place in the same world as Fox's X-Men films. It's never stated explicitly, and no other characters from the franchise appear, but the aesthetic and overall tone of the episode fit right into the slightly darker and less optimistic world of the X-Films.
The only other possible appearance by an X-Books character comes in the form of "The Devil with Yellow Eyes." I won't give away who I think he really is, but long time fans of the franchise are likely to come a very similar conclusion.

Tonight's the premier of Legion on FX!
Of all of the characters from the X-Books to bring to TV, David Haller is an interesting choice. I'm glad they're going with something left field for the X-Men's first foray into live action TV (I think we're all better off forgetting Mutant X).
I'll post my thoughts after the episode!

You have my deepest sympathies, Mormel. I'll keep you and yours in my thoughts.
