  3. I think the hardest part of completing this piece must have been having to look at the original cover while adapting his version.

    After looking at any Liefeld work for more than a minute at a time, will compel the viewer to poke their own eyes out!

  5. Damn - I was working on a version of this cover as well! My Domino even had an eye patch going on too.
    Great job Eric!

  6. Yep, I was gonna tackle that one too!

    Great job though, Eric... love the re-imaginings of the characters...
    especially GeriatriCable!

    And Ryan, there's still plenty of time to do this cover for a C2E2 exclusive print! Eh? Maybe? You're already guaranteed one buyer! ;)
