My name is Kirk Warren and I’m a full time comic fan blowing my pay cheques on way too many comics every week.
Back in the early 90's, my mother bought me a Spider-Man comic to shut me up on a trip. I didn’t know it at the time, but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full blown comic fan and now purchase well in excess of 20 comics per month plus trades and other comic related goods.
As you can see, I've taken my hobby to the next step with this blog and it's allowed me to connect every single day with thousands of people that share the same passion I have for comics and I wouldn't change that for the world.

his Mr. Negative is AMAZING there, to say nothing of Kid Kraven and Kid Scorpion.
Also is that Morlun the Devourer or whatnot in the top right background or am I confused? cause if so woo for totem acknowledgement!
Nice art, too bad Screwball is missing.
Who is this guy between Juggernaut and Vermin? He looks like Annex from Avengers The Initiative.
mugiwara
The one with the blue hood? That's Raptor from ASM Annual 36 and ASM 608-610.
And, wow, I knew Marko is a awesome artist, but, this is outstanding.
Also, what Flip the Page said: ''Also, is that Morlun the Devourer or whatnot in the top right background or am I confused?''
Yay! A Marko Djurdevic cover set that ISN'T a variant edition! I love it! (THIS is the way you do it, Avengers books! LOL)
Please, for the love of mankind, kill off Freak. He is such a sucktacular villain. And MORE Paper Doll, I think she rocks!
@Tigra
Well Juggernaut and Vermin are on completely opposite sides of the picture, but I assume you mean the guy between Juggenaut and the Jackal and that is Raptor, who is a newer villain who was actually after Ben Reily.
This is an awesome picture btw.
@Nathan-I think they tried to kill Freak 3 or 4 times already, but he just dodges those tryes. :P
That is one rocking banner! But I'm afraid I don't know who some of those lesser known characters are (like the blond next to Jonah).
And where's Ben Reilly?
@twobitspecialist - Most of the lesser knowns you might not recognize are new BND cast members. The blonde is Nora, the reporter from Frontline.
Wow, some of these look truly remarkable.
I may have to pick up some of the BND stuff I've been avoiding because some of these characters look pretty good. I like many of the new costumes as well!
Someone actually likes Paper Doll?
Incredible image though. New Desktop Background.
I remeber reading somewhere that Marko hates the comic book industry. Why does he still work in it?
@BT - He said something along those lines a long time ago before he started working in comics. The quote is:
"CGC: What do you think of American Comics in general?
Marko: Not much. Every once in a while some great artist like Ashley Wood comes along and creates a milestone of comicbook history, but in general, neither the stories nor the characters really appeal to me. Exaggerated Anatomy, shitty costumes, flat dialogue and stupid soap opera plots just don't do it for me. If I'd have to name a favorite comic it would be "From Hell" and that's so far away from American mainstream that you could almost think it's European."
Haha, what money won't do to people...
@Ivan - CGC: So Marko, has your opinion on American Comics changed at all?
Marko:...what? Oh, I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of CHA-CHING!
