but most of it is unsophisticated and uninteresting. J. Scott Campbell falls under that category.

So you don't like J. Scott Campbell's versions of Magik? Depicting him as only a "smut" artist is a massive reduction of his talents. He's arguably one of the better caricaturists of our time and presents a lot of energy and animated qualities in his artwork. I'd argue that a lot of why he draws women so often is more because that's what people want from him, similar to Michael Turner. Plus if you've been to his line at a convention you'd see he's got a large female following as well who love his stuff.

Yeah "Rock Me Amadeus" was a fun song. That's who we're talking about, right? RIGHT?!?

True story:
About 15 years ago, I played Salieri in a production of Amadeus (I was way too young, but that’s OK, I did well). One night after a show, we all got wasted and shot a music video in costume, looped to Falco’s Rock Me Amadeus. It was a wild night.
 
I definitely made sure to only get the variant covers of the recent Magik series.

I get that he is massively popular, but JSC's art is 100% not for me. Kinda like Humberto Ramos, he's the artist for the most recent Fantastic Four run, and it makes me hate that I love Ryan North so much that I have to look at Ramos' awful art every month. I only get the variant covers for that book too. But hey, to each their own.
 
Frikken' Iron Man/Mandarin 2-pack had Iron Man swapped and the Tony head taken. Exchange already implemented.

I love BBTS. I pulled the trigger on my Rachel, Feral, and movie Thing two days ago and it's saying it's expected today. Makes up for me being miffed that another item hit my POL hours after I shipped them. This is my first day of Christmas break too. Going to have a opening party then watch Batman Returns.

Never mind, I got the old tracking head fake. It tells me this morning it's in a town in MN 15 minutes away from me, and tonight it tells me it's in Kansas. :( Not the first time this has happened....or the second....
 
Ha! Something similar happened to my Gargantos/Shuma shipment. Tuesday evening it arrived in Springfield MA, and then, 3 hours later, also arrived in Milwaukee WI. I was all like, "Wow. I had no idea USPS was using quantum shipping".

Ngl, I'm still holding out hope that the entangled 2nd Shuma arrives in the next day or two.
 
I've had FedEx lose two packages lately. One they just stopped scanning somewhere and their response was simply "it's lost." No investigation, no care.

The second one they scanned either my address as the shipper or the location of where I dropped it off - and again, they don't give one fuck. Utterly absurd company. USPS at least will attempt to look for a package lost in their system.

I just now got an email from Amazon telling me I'm in violation of their refund policy.

I had two refunds this year. Both were because the package would never at my door. I also never asked for those refunds, one of them was automated and the other was just given to me despite me asking to just resend it.

But I guess that's my fault, Bezos.

What are the consequences for being in violation? Or are you awaiting sentencing?

They're welcome to their opinions, as I am to mine. I think his iconic Spider-Man 601 cover epitomizes objectification in comics.

It's okay, he's in good company. I don't vibe with a lot of popular artists.

They did the same to me a year ago. I had contacted their support about various issues, and instead of fixing the problem, they refunded unrelated orders. I guess it flagged something internally. They never communicated the possible consequences. I appealed the decision, but never heard back about that, either.

Well-run company.
