Really cool piece of Marvel-gaming history up for auction at Heritage right now. Cool to see @tombrevoort.bsky.social's name attached, too. comics.ha.com/itm/video-ga...

Worth a read if you keep hearing how “rough out there” it is in games and don’t really know what that means. LOTS of examples here. Good work. @aftermath.site.

I've confirmed through ebay listings that the other two autographs are penciler @andyparkart.bsky.social (now Director of Visual Development at Marvel Studios!) and inker Jonathan Sibal.

I'm so thankful to have this.

Ha! Good guess. It's BD-1 from the Jedi games.

Top Cow sent me a stack of Tomb Raider #1 variants when I covered the comic in Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine.

Somehow—over 25 years later—I’m just now realizing that one was autographed by several creators—including the late, great Michael Turner (on the logo). I can’t believe it. Wow.

I’ll always go to bat for the DS versions of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows and Shattered Dimensions. youtu.be/OhzTJg1PX9k?...

I hear you! I think I'm just going to buy a pack or two and see if that satiates said thrill.

It’s not like it hasn’t happened on the other side.

I watched that live last night. So great.

Which I guess confirms it’s from E3 1995. (If you didn’t know that already.)

Yeah, it may have started out as X-Men 2, but it almost certainly pivoted to War of the Gems.

It's easy to forget that in some ways Mutant Apocalypse was the "home version" of Children of the Atom, just as War of the Gems was the "home version" of Marvel Super Heroes. Not ports, but complementary.

Until now I had assumed the harsh lighting was obscuring "Iron" -- but Wizard says that'd be "Ice"? I'm still thinking it's Iron Man since Iceman's an X-Man already and wouldn't be a special appearance.

Five years later, I've finally stumbled upon some press for Capcom's X-Men 2 for SNES, @frankcifaldi.bsky.social, from WIZARD #48 (Aug. 1995): archive.org/details/wiza...
