It's called lighting effects...

Nope, those are definitely giant size digital brushmarks (particularly between index and middle finger).Randomhero wrote:MegaDump wrote:Wow, the colouring job on Galvatron's hands for the issue #53 cover of the ongoing looks really sloppy.

Since this is an early preview, we're probably just seeing a near-complete product that will be perfected in time for printing.

I'd wager it's the first 50 issues of the Marvel US run - they're usually pretty deliberate in labeling things as "Classics UK" when the UK material is involved.Rodimus Prime wrote:The compendium is a collection of the UK series?

Okay. I was wondering, because there were a couple of names in the listing I haven't seen before. Had it been the UK collection, i would have probably picked it up, I've never read the UK series to this day.ScottyP wrote:I'd wager it's the first 50 issues of the Marvel US run - they're usually pretty deliberate in labeling things as "Classics UK" when the UK material is involved.Rodimus Prime wrote:The compendium is a collection of the UK series?
