I think this may be my favorite one in the series so far. Gonna have to get this!

Agreed. Can't say if it's my fav (really like Rocafort and Timm) but it's definitely in top 3 for me. Guaranteed purchase.

It's funny with JRJr...I cant stomach his Marvel work in the past few years as it's been incredibly sloppy, but I just love what he's doing on Superman right now. Sure, it's now the most original story out there, but the art is such a joy to look at each month. He's really bringing it right now and I'm happy he's on the Man of Steel

I loved his recent run on Captain America with Rick Remender. The story was so out there and original. It was my favorite book to read while that storyline was going on.

I will have to check it out. I initially passed as I too really disliked (his beloved) Marvel work for the most part.

This one should be arriving for me tomorrow (pending delays). I'll get some pics up by the weekend

Nice pics

DC JRJr Superman piece. Looks great, but paint apps aren't quite as sharp as other two pieces I own in the line. Oddly, no ES number on the base. The base is also no perfectly flat (??) as it wobbles slightly. Easily fixed with a felt pad under it.
