The Amazing Spider-Man #35

DAMAGE CONTROL COMES WITH A COST! With only one issue before AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1000, Spidey will be tested like never before… by GHOST-SPIDER?! DAMAGE CONTROL’s latest target creates bad blood with the wall-crawler — just how far is Spidey willing to go?!
Peach Momoko continues to redefine her artistry! This November, the visionary artist debuts Momo-Tone Variant Covers, an all-new variant collection that showcases a bold new technique for the best-selling cover artist. In these gorgeously painted pieces, Momoko utilized screentones, adhesive sheets traditionally used in manga to create dynamic shades of gray and dramatic shadows. The result is a striking collection of dramatic portraits of Marvel icons unlike anything Momoko has created before, while still remaining true to her unmistakable signature style!
When I was in school, I always wanted to use screentones for my artwork, but they were too expensive for me to afford. Now I have the opportunity and decided to challenge myself by using screentones for these new Marvel covers.
But an obstacle emerged. How to color using watercolor paint on these screentones? So instead of painting on top of the screentones (risking the art warping), I tried and found that painting on the back of the canvas was very effective! It created a very clean, soft tone color palette that comes through the painting when light passes through from behind. I always enjoy these trial and error challenges and discovering the best methods of painting.

X-Men: The Animated Series – Deadpool 1/6 Scale Figure – Limited Edition – $250
Okay, first of all, FIFTEEN other X-Men got figures before DEADPOOL??? And Wolverine got like five?! Cool. Not like he’s one of the most popular Marvel characters right now…
Anyway, apparently this Deadpool 1/6 Scale Figure is “paying homage to the 2021 San Diego Comic-Con Wolverine Variant,” which is marketing speak for “Remember that funny meme we turned into a viral figure release? We are doing that again so hand over your wallets.”
As you can clearly see, Deadpool is curled up in bed processing a totally normal amount of feelings. But there’s more here than emotional devastation; this figure comes with five swappable portraits, multiple pairs of hands, three blasters, swords, a swappable picture frame featuring Wolverine OR Cable (team neutrality!), a Wolverine POP! Bitty Pop, and of course … a Unicorn Doll.
Honestly? This might be the most emotionally available figure Mondo has ever made.
See? We can do responsible promotional messaging.
