Before and after art (pencils/inks —> colors/lettering) from “The Adamantium Diaries” (aka “Adamantium Claws”) story in Wolverine #1000.
One more before/after pic can be seen artist on Joao Lemos’ blog.
Wolverine #1000 releases 2/9/2011!
This is (for me) pretty much the most anticipated comic of all time … because my Wolverine story “The Adamantium Diaries” is in this issue. It’s about a Wolverine fangirl who wishes she could be like her hero so the jerks at school would leave her alone. Art is by Joao Lemos (Avengers Fairy Tales #1, Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard - Epilogue), and colors are by Chris Chuckry, who colored one of my favorite miniseries ever, Fantastic Four/Iron Man: Big in Japan. In other words, an amazing art team! This story will be worth your $$ even if you don’t know how to read.
If you want a copy, but aren’t sure where to get one, you can check Comic Shop Locator to find a store in your area.
Alternately, you can order from a comic shop that sells issues online & will ship to you, like Midtown Comics in NYC. Handy links to the regular cover version and variant cover here and here.
