Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities Olivier Coipel's wrap around cover .... featuring the FANTASTIC 4 [ updated ]

hey !!!

i just seen a preview of a cover that Olivier Coipel is working on ....

it's a WRAP-AROUND featuring the Fantastic Four and the Avengers !!!

and it's for a MARVEL EUROPE book [ need to get more info on that .... ]

the image i saw featured REED and SUE !!! it looked great !!!

but it did make me miss him on "THE LEGION" .......

Matthew.

Sounds cool Matthew. Anyway you can share or maybe convice Olivier to share with us?

BTW, did you just recently purchase on of Olivier's pages from Legion #1? Just curious. There was a page I was trying to buy from The Artist's Choice and when I submitted my order this one page, featuring Jo prominently, came back as already on hold.

nope !!! but i wish i'd had !!!

i haven't looked on the ARTIST'S CHOICE for a while !!! some of the prices were pretty high !!! and then the fact, they don't accept PAYPAL, and i'd have to send a CHEQUE [ made out in US funds ] and then the shipping charge on top !!!

the final cost, just seemed too much !!!

Matthew.

They just had a great sale, ended Nov. 30. 50% off most pieces by almost all of the creators he represents. Still didn't find a lot a Legion pieces I liked that weren't already on hold or sold but I did pick up a couple with Legion World depicted including the original to the piece we use for the Threshhold to the site.

Unfortunately he was still waiting for Chris Batista to send his stuff in so none of it made the sale. I was hoping to pick up his pages featuring Lightning Lad.

that's a shame about the SALE !!! it would have made the extra charges, a little easier to pay for ....

you will have to post a scan of your pages !!! i'd love to see them .....

Matthew.

i'll ask OLIVIER if he minds, me posting his IMAGE ??? and if it's OK with him .... would you help me post it again, SCOTT !!??

Matthew.

All you gotta do is ask Matthew.

cheer's SCOTT !!!

and now i've really got to go to bed !!! it's coming up to 1.45am ......

good night

Matthew.

I would never have guessed, considering the QUINTRUPLE post I trimmed down...

Matt, is Olivier going to be working on any ongoing series (from either DC or Marvel) in the future. His Avengers was amazing, although I really miss him on Legion! I'd love to see him have another two-three year (or even more) run on something!

Olivier said that Geoff Jones offered him work on any of his "DC" books [or upcoming ones ... ] as he left the "AVENGERS" !!!

so we could see Olivier back at "DC" !!!???

and he's still on the "AVENGERS" at the moment, his next arc is up in 2 issues [ i think ?? ]

Matthew.

Interesting! Thanks for the info!

Could it possibly be Avengers United? I understand that is a Marvel UK title that reprints Avengers stories in Europe. And they are currently set (already started I believe) to reprint the JLA/Avengers and regular Avengers stories in upcoming issues. # 35 was the scheduled start of the reprints and was scheduled for December. The covers were not available last I heard. Maybe that's what Oliver is referring to.

we get these issues in the UK [ and they are sold at newsagents, where they USED sell American comics, when i was a kid, but i never see them anywhere, now .... ]

Olivier said the cover was for an issue coming out in January ..... i'll try and get some more info !!!

Matthew.

that i haven't posted the image, yet !!

i'm waiting to hear back from Olivier to see if it's OK that i post it ..... i sent him an email this morning, so i'll probably have a reply some time tomorrow ....

Matthew.

Yes the covers are available - the next issue page in 34 (they've been space-filling for three issues - they meant to put the first 3 Davis issues [Hulks in Greece] in 32, then start JLA/Av (& the Kree/Skrull War) in 33. Since they got their dates wrong (they'd have published JLA/Av 4 BEFORE it was puclished in the US, had it been finished ), they spread the Hulks over two issues, and inserted the Squadron Supreme debut and the Black Panther's origin in 32 & 33, and used the Ultron Imperative for 34))

Unless they're planning to reprint Domination Factor (I think that was it...), I don't see where they would use an FF/Avengers cover
though, especially since Marvel UK/Panini stopped commissoning original covers before AU was started in favour of reprinting the US ones (albeit occasionally with minor colouring changes)

i have a feeling the cover is not UK bound !!?? and it's for a FRENCH or SPANISH version !!??

all though don't hold me to that .... i'll get some more info !!!

Matthew.

still waiting to hear back from Olivier !!! i sent him an email at the weekend, and he does take a while to get back to me sometimes .....

so i'm sorry, you'll have to wait a little longer, until i can post his "F4" picture ......

Matthew

Since Matt is taking forever to post this ff pic as punishment he should post more pics of himself!

sorry !!! but i'm still waiting to hear back from Olivier !!! and until i do .... it wouldn't be fair to post it !!! i don't want to get him into trouble .....

Matthew.

there are already lot's of photo's of me on "LEGION WORLD" !!!

if you look hard enough .... you'll find them

Matthew.

i know but i want to see more

well, we'll have to see ......

Matthew.

I'll beg, i don't mind.

Just post the frelling pic already.

Don't say you can if you can't
