Inking that TRIO cover must have been some of Sinnott's final work. You're lucky to have gotten that, JB! *** Did Joe Sinnott retire? I thought he was still inking the Spider-man newspaper strip.

Already got the variant covers ordered. Made sure I wouldn't miss out on this starting like I did with Aftermath #40 of which I still can't find a reasonable price on ebay. :(

Sinnott's final work? Don't scare me, kid. Of course, I expect that he's gotten near the end of his life thread. Hitting your 80s and still doing (some) comicbook art is quite an achievement. Very, very few of these guys left with us will have a chance to be introduced to the potential young readers. Looking forward to seeing what Tom, Terry, Joe and company may turn out in the coming months. I'm kind of surprised that no one thought of using the old "Rock, Paper, Scissors!" game as the basis for a super-group before now.

JB, I have often heard you speak of Kirby's explanation of the "Dinosaur hide" for The Thing, but did you have some similar vernacular to express Rock's surface to Joe?

Here's a little something in which I thought some of you might find interesting: the B cover for issue 2, with my pencils on the LEFT, and Tom's inks on the RIGHT.

JB, I would assume you have scans of the pencils and inks for Trio and if the book does well might I suggest an "Artist Edition" of the pencils and inks? That cover with Tom's inks halved with your pencils is quite nice and I would love to see the pencils and inks side by side. And since I am dreaming a hardbound 11x17 page page format would be icing on the cake. =)

Very nice page and cover. Sinnott's style comes through in the way he inked the buildings.

After re-reading Action Comics 600, I wonder if JB asked George Perez to contribute inks?

Remember when alternate covers, foil covers, etc. were a gimmick? I really like the idea of the alternate cover not only being alternate art, but being created by some VERY cool inker combinations.

I really like the idea of the alternate cover not only being alternate art, but being created by some VERY cool inker combinations.•• Originally, I was planning to have the A and B covers be the same, just me inking A and a guest inking B. That proved unworkable, tho, as it meant I would have to ink on my lighttable, so the B inker could get the pencils. And that's just a pain! So I decided to do two distinct covers.

The B cover for issue 2 has to be one of my favorite JB covers EVER. Well done!
