What a great Easter gift. Thank you

Excellent update Andrew, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. colour scheme was very unexpected, but a pleasant surprise.

I was hoping you would try to finish off the Addams Family and they look great. Reunion is bit of a rarity to find these day, not sure why, well I do, it wasn't very highly regarded :/

Thanks for Tales from the Crypt: Ritual I expect artwork for that was near impossible to find, but you did

Tales from the Cryptkeeper was a little hard to find but I eventually came across all the episodes

to thanks for the covers and labels

I didn't expect to see Arrow S2, Avengers Assemble or even the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. covers yet as I didn't think all the episodes had been listed yet, obviously that have though

Excellent work on The Amazing Spider-man and X-Men: Days of Future Past covers, I like how you have left the X symbol of the back whole.

Fantastic work with the Title Treatments, Logos and comic strips

Oh and thanks for updating Beware the Batman to complete series, (very PC)

again how you found a full episode list has befuddled me

Thanks again for all the updates

I believe that wraps up all of the Addams Family titles thus far. I don't believe Reunion ever received anything beyond its initial VHS release. I hope giving it the same color scheme as New Addams Family makes sense, although with the exception of the actress playing Wednesday, I don't know if there is much else to connect the two.

This recent batch includes a number of covers that have been sitting on my to-do list for quite some time. I tried putting together a Ritual cover back when I did the rest of the Tales from the Crypt covers, but there was virtually nothing aside from screengrabs available for it. Along the way, I stumbled upon a cheap Blu-ray release of it at Best Buy (didn't buy it though) and noticed that even Miramax had to "invent" some keyart for it. I only watched a portion of the movie on Netflix, but I don't believe the little girl holding the voodoo doll ever appears in the film. Anyway, I was able to use this keyart for my cover so I could at least create something for the film.

Although I would prefer a Blu-ray release of Demon Knight or Bordello of Blood as opposed to Ritual.

In my haste to post this latest round of updates, I forgot to give credit where it was due... thank you for supplying me with the scans for both volumes of Tales from the Cryptkeeper. This was another item on my list that went nowhere until you provided sufficient resources to make the cover. I sincerely apologize for the omission and would like to thank you once again for your help and support of this collection.

Part of my job with this collection involves scouring the web for episode titles to be announced. Once I have the full season's worth of episode titles, I try to get the cover finished and uploaded (or else someone will inevitably start pestering me for it).

The X symbol is intact on titles that revolve around the entire X-Men team. On covers in which Wolverine is the primary focus, the X is slashed through by his claws. There is a method to my madness.

Thank you... if only you knew how many hours go into creating the TT's and logos, as well as finding the right comic book panels to use on the back cover and the overall background. I am obsessive and insane.

Yeah, the writing is on the wall with that show. It seems WB and Cartoon Network intended to cancel it from the start (why even bother with it at all in that case?). I am almost certain that it won't be back for more since it hasn't aired a new episode in months (almost a year, if I'm correct). I got the Volume 1 Blu-ray and it's not a terrible show... but not a terribly good one either. While Marvel's current animated output hasn't been stellar either, I can't understand why DC makes these shows only to quickly discard them (Young Justice, Green Lantern, Beware the Batman). The only thing they seem to keep pushing is that idiotic Teen Titans Go!

Anyway... the World's Finest website recently posted the full episode list along with plot synopses for each episode. Seems fairly reliable and if it is to be believed (which I think it is), the second half of the show's run will see some interesting developments and familiar faces from the Bat-universe.

--

Thanks again to everyone who continues to support this collection. I was able to scratch a lot off my to-do list with this recent update and I hope to completely clear my list of "back catalogue" titles by the end of the summer, leaving only upcoming and future titles to be added when they are ready. Easier said than done, as I'm constantly finding titles based on comics to include, but I do see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Not sure if this was meant to be directed at me, but I didn't have anything to do with the scans for Tales from the Cryptkeeper, but I did send you some PC scans, if you got them??

if you didn't receive them PM me

Now I'm doubly embarrassed... RRJR84 was the one who sent me the scans of Tales from the Cryptkeeper. I confused them with the PC Arkham scans that you sent me, which I did receive. My apologies to both of you for confusing who did what... but thank you both for your help.

lol no problem, your a busy person, so who sent what can get mixed up, I only wish I could help with more resources, but you seem to have that pretty much covered (pardon the pun).

Oh I'm curious to where you find the resources for the comic strip panels, do you find them just by searching the web, or do you have buy some of them also, if the latter then thank you again.
