  1. I think this 'cover' is freaking fantastic. Brandon did not just take the cover and tweak it a little bit here and there, but he really made it his own. He thought outside the box and used a completely different medium - not even paper - but 'stained-glass.' Another thing I love is that in making it his, he changed the theme. I think he's stinking amazing and brilliant. I guess I'm a 'little' biased though... he's my brother. :-D

  3. Covers like this are the reason I subscribed to this RSS feed. Love the unique take on "The Most Colorful Super-Hero of All!!!"

    Awesome stuff, Brandon.

  4. I wish I were Catholic so I could make, like, a Latin/Thor reference. Damn you, Protestantism.

    Excellent work, man.

  6. Another attempt to snuff out the culture of those nature worshipping pagans... =)

    Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews, the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and Ending...

    Great job! Well done all the way around!

  7. You know, he could make a series of Classic Marvel heroes/covers as stained glass windows and clean up! (money-wise)

  10. Geoff, If you look at his website, it's clear the artist used actual glass. I think it's great!
