Normally, as most of you know, I am not crazy about 'em. Usually, they look like somebody spilled a bag of M&Ms. But this one I like.

Aren't the costumes colored incorrectly? If Medusa is part of the FF wouldn't they be the old black belts/bands instead of white? Or is this commission not tied to that particular time frame?

It is decently colored either way. It looks almost like vintage coloring.

Trevor, IIRC, the person commissioning the piece requested the newer uniforms.

You win no-prizes only for suggesting a valid cover story for an inconsistency or 'mistake', but not if someone else comes up with a valid reason why there is no inconsistency or mistake to start with. So I guess no prize would go to Brian Miller. At least I think I remember it working this way, before sooooo many people started looking for things to try to win a 'vaunted' no-prize over (which was meant to have been no prize at all).

That coloring is very Marvel! Or at least Marvel when it was at it's best.

I like it, except that Ben's head suddenly looks a bit weird, like it got "stretched."

Also, I'd forgotten how BIG Dragon Man is.

He's varied over the years. When first introduced, he was about double Hulk sized. Here. I took my cue from John Buscema.

Always great to see you’re FF, JB. This one is epic!  You capture a perfect moment in the action.

Trevor that's how Medusa was colored in the originals.  It is 100% faithful to the time period (as you can see here, from FF #132).
