Love it!

The Colossus again proves you have little competition in drawing him. Love that right fist on Sasquatch. And I like the "energy" effect going from Guardian to Colossus.

Very nice piece.

Awesome! I was amazed at JB's output a few days ago and since then he has posted two more unbelievably cool pieces!

Especially love the Guardian/Colussus matchup.

Wow that is incredible.  This may be the best rendition of Sasquatch I have ever seen!  Amazing, JB!  Congrats to the commissioner!

I do have to admit that I am not a native Canadian so the reference is unknown to me.  Hopefully the title meaning will be revealed!

It looks like Colossus is giving Guardians force field a hard time!

Great commission JB, I've been wondering where you've been all morning.

Strange thing -- 30+ years of drawing Colossus, and every time I find myself thinking How is this guy a mutant? After all these years, I still can't satisfy myself that there is a "realistic" way his mutation could work. If he just turned into "living metal" I'd have no problem -- but it's the articulation! Feels like >shudder< "intelligent design"!

Mostly, I've been waiting for my internet connection to switch itself back on. Been out since yesterday. Posted a few times with my iPhone, but no way to get commissions up that way!

Ah!  Gotcha!  My mind wasn't seeing this as a specific confrontation from a comics story.

Cool pic, JB.

Still remember getting excited when I finally managed to track that issue down (as a back issue) after reading the one before, and I didn't want to wait for Classic X-men to catch up.

Is that inked with the XS Pitt?

Thanks.

Not something this large. I used the F nib, and a lot of brush.
