The Comic Book Collection by Kernie

[Darksaber]

Bloody hell, when you said it would please me, you weren't kidding

Going to have to get back to you later while I download them, to comment on everything WOW!!

*********************

Ok where to start? Well first it never ceases to amaze me where the hell you get your keyart from, plus the strip of comic images on the back at the top of each cover, then your skill at making the title treatments and the logos, not to mention that the back most layer of the cover uses different images, amazing

Might as well start from the top with the new covers

Superman Unbound = great looking keyart, highlighted with your TT, looking forward to watching this.

Green Lantern = again great looking keyart, the TT and lantern logo are really well done, it's a pity this show has been cancelled, it's much better than I expected.

Young Justice: Invasion = Nice how you have incorporated "Invasion" into the title, the keyart looks great, not sure if it's an original piece of keyart or whether you have created it yourself, but it looks great. Again another good show cancelled

Legends of the Super Heroes = As you know I recently bought this myself, just to get a hold of a cover to scan so you could use it for your cover, the original cover was made from really bad low res images. Again where the hell do you get your keyart from? I dunno, but you've done a great job on your cover, updating the original TT and using the DC logo on the back. A great cover for a really bad, campy show lol

Captain America 1990 = Blu-ray conversion, I really hope they have done as good of a job on the Blu-ray conversion as you have done on the cover, the Dvd quality is awful.

Howard the Duck = good looking conversion, plus an underrated film (well I like it)

Iron Man: Rise of Technovore = Don't know much about this only that it's due out in April and from your synopsis sounds intriguing, good looking TT

Inhumans = Again don't know much about this, only what I have read on wiki, the TT and back logo look great

Solomon Kane = Thanks so much for this, good looking cover, love the back logo.

Kull the Conqueror = Again Thank you, love Robert E Howard, though this is not the greatest adaptation. But the cover is outstanding, AGAIN lol where did you find the keyart? It looks great The TT and Battle Axe logos are, well great! Really in keeping with your Conan covers, your just showing off now lol thanks so much

Heavy Metal (Both) = Another set of outstanding covers, the metal finish on TT's look great, I like what you have done with the keyart, using the backgrond from the first to use on the second.

Flash Gordon 1996 = Great looking cover TT and logo, but I'm a little peeved with this one, Why? because I can't find it anywhere, not a single episode

Flash Gordon 2007 = Good looking cover, you've done a great job on the TT and back logo the colours are well matched with the keyart

Thank you so much, totally outstanding work.

So awesome Kernie. I really love your work man. I've been working on my theater room the last few weeks and will have all my blu rays done soon. So I'll post some pics up of all of your covers on my shelf. Thanks!

[Punisherchad]

Jeez dude! Amazing. You know what always gets me...When you make covers for things like Kull the Conqueror and you put such effort into making it so good that it actually tricks me into thinking that movie was better! Seriously I can't tell you how many of my movies that have your covers I look at and go "yep cover's better than the movie" and these are movies made by massive companies with millions of dollars and hundreds of people and they don't have the care and attention in their MOVIES that you put into the COVERS. You astound me all the time with your detail and vision, I just pull these off the shelves and look at them frequently and I notice some new little detail every time. Great stuff man, really great stuff. Thank you, your art is appreciated.

[Kernie]

Thanks for comments, xshoty, JollyRoger, RRJR84, venome, and cas!! Glad you like the new covers!!

@ graves0777... I'm looking forward to seeing the photos of your theater room!!

@ Punisherchad... thank you very much for the kind words.

@ Darksaber... thanks so much for taking the time to comment on each cover. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that you look at all the finer details in these covers. It would be easy for me to cut corners and not change the backgrounds, comic panels, etc. for each new cover, but knowing that someone is paying attention to those aspects makes all the extra effort worthwhile.

To address some of your questions from your comments...

- I put together the Green Lantern and Young Justice: Invasion keyart myself, using elements generously supplied by a certain mod over at MG.

- Legends of the SuperHeroes... thank you for actually purchasing the DVD just so you could get me a scan of the cover specs, legals, etc. You really didn't have to spend money on my account, but I am grateful for your help. As for the keyart, that was a decent-res image that I found through a Google search (changing the search criteria to include sizes of 2 Megapixel (MP) or above occasionally produces good results).

- Agreed about Howard the Duck... not as bad as most make it out. Although still not good. It's in the so-bad-its-good category, along with "Mac and Me."

- The Kull keyart is actually from a German blu-ray release. I was very surprised to find a foreign BD release that had such amazing keyart (considering everything I found for the film had nothing even close to as cool as the German keyart).

- If you think finding a DVD of the 1996 Flash Gordon cartoon is tough, try making a cover for it! There was next to nothing available from Google searches. I did my best to clean up the one medium-res image I could find to use for the keyart, but I still think the quality of the image is a bit lacking. Although, I'm sure if you dig through the internet long enough, you'll find VHS-rips of the show (that may or may not be how I got my screengrabs for the back cover... but probably not).

And now, to answer your question about the Darkman films... even though you already know the answer... NO, it won't be added to the collection. Opening the door to films that had comic adaptations AFTER the initial film/show/cartoon was released is just going to make more work for me, especially since I'm getting dangerously close to having my to-do list of catalogue titles nearly complete. Unfortunately, making that one exception will set a precedent for other titles, such as G.I. Joe, Transformers, Power Rangers, etc. etc. etc. Sorry to disappoint you, but I have to stick to my one rule. I hope that's understandable.

Kernie, would it be out-of-line to ask for an alternate version of a couple of your covers? Pretty please with pizza on top?

Specifically speaking of the Ninja Turtles covers. I was wondering if it would be possible to put the "Fast Forward" logo on Season 6 of the 2k3 series and the "Back to the Sewers" logo on the Season 7....

That and, have you done anything for Mortal Kombat: Conquest? I'd be interested. I've often considered making a "Video Game" series much like your Comic one. I can supply Vectors of the dragon logo to work with if you need.

Love your work! I have a LONG queue of images I need to get printed up at the print shop later on... Hehe... Thanks for everything! And it's okay if this request is impossible, I understand you're a very busy content creator!

I just like looking at the subtle differences between each cover which makes them different from each other.

I thought you made up the keyart yourself for GL and YJL, I looked to find the keyart but could only find individual characters, so well done there.

Hey don't worry about my spending habits, I gave up smoking last October, so I have a bit extra now to buy things I would like, worked out pretty well in my opinion

I agree with you on Howard the Duck, It's not bad for a 27 year old film

Kull is a really nice piece of art, really grateful you found it, I think Punisherchad couldn't of put it better

Did a bit more digging with Flash Gordon and dug up 5 little gems, it's a start, I'll keep my eyes open for more.

Last but not least I totally understand about your decision not to do Darkman, it'll be like opening a cracker jack box, I thought about it after and that's why I removed my request hoping you wouldn't see it, but obviously you did, I think when you did Conan, I thought to myself at the time, that you where thinking a little outside the box

Auken Mortal Kombat falls into the same critria as my suggestion really, as far as I know the Mortal Kombat franchise of films and Animation where based on the Video Game, I'm afraid Kernie82 Rule for his collection is films based on Comic Books, basically the Comic Books have to come first before the film. Although his criteria has side stepped slightly with the addition of a few comic strip films/series his rule remains the same, sorry but no Mortal Kombat.

I'll let Kernie82 answer your request for the TMNT alterations
