I'm really glad I got a piece from Daniel a couple of years ago...
Felix Lu
10:03
Like I said...timing!
Sean
10:03
Bummer on the DWJ thing.. but good for him!
Jason K
10:03
@Tom, does she hand color or digital?
Tim D
10:03
thanks, lucky to have it. :) I bought issue 1 from flipping through it at the shop on art alone.
Tom Franck

Felix:  Can you make Tradd re-post the video he made on Instagram of him just drawing straight lines?  That was insane!
Felix Lu
10:04
Tradd is taking an indefinite break from social media. But yes...he's a freak. Straight lines, curves...all freehand. Also...all brush. No pens.
Nick
10:04
Felix, do you plan on enlarging your artist roster or do you estimate that you've reached a satisfying balance for your operation?
Felix Lu
10:05
Much like my art collection...I know it when I see it. I'm very picky, though. So we'll see!
Jason K
10:05
Tim - you have one of the best issues
Nick
10:05
Would certainly love seeing timelapse videos by your artists working.
Felix Lu
10:06
We're not sure where we'll be taking the YouTube channel and video content...still figuring that out. But very glad to have as many videos up as we do already.
On the whole, people definitely respond more to the podcast (although they serve different functions).
Pat L

I haven't read Luther Strode but seems like I should check it out.  looks like the complete series HC is out of print?
Felix Lu
10:07
Yes, out-of-print. And not going back in print (just heard this from Tradd). A shame, since they did a great job...it's a beautiful package. Pat, write me, though, as I have an extra copy so I can hook you up. You'll love it!
Tom Franck
10:07
I just want to see it again on his Tumblr.
Sean
10:07
I second Nicks wuestion. Would love love love to see: michael walsh, hayden sherman, and andrea Sorrentino
Felix Lu
10:08
I actually have a few artists I'll be working into the site this year...hope you'll approve;)
Pat L
10:08
Felix - do you have more collection videos ready to post to the YouTube page?  Those are definitely entertaining to watch!
Felix Lu
10:08
Not just yet, but we are planning more for the future!
Tim D
10:08
Thanks Jason!, too bad, that  LS HC is a great looking book.
Felix Lu
10:09
They sold out of their print run, so why not print more? But not my call, it's Image's decision.
They're going to stick with trades for now.
So if they ever put out hardcovers from series you love, don't wait too long...can never assume they'll always be available.
10:10
Case in point: Has anyone checked out what the WEDNESDAY COMICS hardcover is going for on Amazon an eBay? Holy shit!!
Newell
10:10
Andrea Sorrentino's work on Gideon Falls has been amazing.
Pat L
10:10
Great thanks Felix!  Definitely would be interested in one!
Jason K
10:10
Nice Felix! Can't wait to see who
Adi
10:10
Hey Felix and fellow collectors! Glad to be back Stateside - makes it easier to follow art drops and chats like this one.
Felix Lu
10:10
Hey Adi, welcome back!
Nick
10:10
Man, I stalled to buy the LS HC thinking it would remain in print. Had no idea it was out of print. :-((
Felix Lu
10:11
And there you go...so sad.
Simon M
10:11
Not sure of the retail price, but this is the cheapest LS HC on eBay - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Luther-Strode-The-Complete-Series-Image-Comic...
Felix Lu
10:11
Worth it!
Sean
10:11
Question for all: im new to collecting. Is it “best” to request commissions from multiple artists in theme of same/similar characters or commission a character based on artist commissioned?
Felix Lu
10:12
Totally depends on you. I'm the former...but for best results (i.e. safest bet), go with what the artist wants to draw, is good at drawing, etc.
Tom Franck
10:12
Felix:  I can't remember if I told you, but I saw a Walt Simonson cover of a Thor Annual (he didn't do the interiors) and it wasn't in Walt's collection.  I was shocked.
Felix Lu
10:12
Probably because it was inked by someone else. That's the only way to have gotten it.
Like Bob Wiacek.
Pat L
10:13
Speaking of, that Wednesday Comics collection is amazing
