Not anytime soon, sorry. He's hanging onto his most personal stuff. That's why you've never seen HEAVY LIQUID, 100%, THB, et al.
Mike K.
9:28
Have to agree with Mikail. Issue 1 was great. Gotta read issue 2 tonight.
Mikail
9:28
I wont comment until I’ve read Thor 2 - very curious to see how the God of Thunder acquiesces to being “tied” to Galactus
Felix Lu
9:28
Mikail...let us know what you think next time. No spoilers, but I thought #2 was even better than #1.
Neil D.
9:29
The Steg-man with DWJ was definitely a favorite of mine! Loved hearing Dan's superhero origin story.
Felix Lu
9:29
Neil, any other especially good Steg-man episodes?
Jason L
9:29
Curious about getting an insurance rider for my original art. What value would I use? As it is one of a kind.
Felix Lu
9:30
Jason...insurance is super-tricky for comic art. Very tough to get appraised. It's why so many use Collectibles Insurance...because YOU tell them what it's worth, and they set your premium based on that. Very easy. But also not without its potential issues.
Neil D.

The Heritage viewings kill me because they're always in the middle of the work day... Too much of a trek to get to beverly hills between 2 and 4 or whatever weird hours they have.
Felix Lu
9:32
Neil...you don't have to go the day of the auction...the art is available to view before that, too. Although if that time of day is never good, you may still be stuck. I *think* there may be some opportunity on weekends, though...you should call them to find out. If you need a contact, PM me.
Newell
9:32
Felix, I think that's a solid approach.
Felix Lu
9:32
Thanks, Newell! BTW...do you have a CAF gallery?
Victor B.
9:32
I can fully understand that and thats actually how i treated last year and was able to get some awesome stuff, maybe a little too much!
Felix Lu
9:33
Yes..."I know it when I see it" starts narrowing down the longer you collect...
Mikail
9:33
What else are you guys reading?
Nick
9:33
Will Tradd Moore's future art be priced as high as on Silver Surfer Black? Have we reached a threshold pricing-wise? Or will it be more budget-friendly depending on his future projects?
Felix Lu
9:36
Pricing largely depends on character, content, and context. (The 3 C's...did I just come up with something?:P) So if Tradd does Spider-Man next, then yes, it will be priced as high, if not higher. If he does the Aunt May mini-series...then not as much. Those you can have cheap lol.
Newell
9:36
Felix, I do! would you like a link?
Felix Lu
9:36
Sure!

Got a page that was penciled by hand and then inked digitally.  Made an executive decision to have the inker ink over the pencils by hand.  Wasn't an easy decision to make, but I like the idea of this being the only hand inked page in the team's run.
Felix Lu
9:37
Ooh...that was ballsy. Most would prefer to keep the pencils intact, and have the inker ink a blue-line copy.
Mikail
9:37
If anyone read Batman's Grave 4, it's basically one long epic fight scene
Felix Lu
9:37
I don't know that title...is it current? Who's the creative team?
Tom Franck
9:37
Mikail.  I quite liked Venom: The End
Matt Todd.

Hi Felix, hope this finds you well. Wonderful having the podcast back hope to have some more episodes this year. Are there any trends or patterns you are seeing in the hobby that is making you excited or trends that are making you nervous?
Felix Lu
9:39
Excited: The sheer amount of talent working today. The bar is so high for artists...maybe as high as it's ever been.
Nervous: Publishers continuing strategizing for short term. Would prefer the powers-that-be take longer term view.
Felix Lu
9:39
Thanks for the link, will check it out!
Joe
9:39
DWJ was great on the pod. Can we have him lead more podcast round-table discussions?
Felix Lu
9:40
Sure, he's a natural! Totally engaging presence and very natural. Glad you enjoy him!
Newell
9:40
Tom, that's a bold choice... but if you're happy, that's great.
Pat L
9:40
hi all!  wow actually made it to a live chat session - missed all of the others!
Felix Lu
9:40
Hey Pat!
Nick
9:40
Even on Aunt May, I'd buy his art. Really looking forward to hearing when new art will be available. Can you give us a hint? Even a vague one.
Felix Lu
9:40
HInt: It's the perfect project for Tradd following SSB and for where he's at in his artistic evolution.
Mikail
9:41
Thanks Tom, I'll take a look, I think it didn't survive my quick flip test, but that's never a sure way of telling. They did get me with the Dr Strange one this week though. Venom Island on the other hand... (hahahah) - I'm definitely interested to see where that goes.
Felix Lu
9:41
Mikail...you hit the shop every Wed?
Pat L
9:41
Felix - are you and Paul Pope planning another NYCC event this year?
Felix Lu
9:42
Pat...not sure yet, will depend on Paul. He's got a HUGE announcement coming this year...if it's going to be announced at NYCC, then he will likely make an appearance. And if he does, we'll try to set something up!
Tom Franck
9:42
Felix:  Yeah, I know I'm going against the norm, but I'm happy with the decision.  I also like the idea of the page traveling across different part of the globe before coming to me.
