PERSONAL COMMENTS:
A true grail for me. I have seen some amazing art by Stuart Sayger over the years. Every commission seems to be even better than the one before. Something about his style of grit and darkness just exemplified everything that I wanted in this commission and everything I got in it. This one was a twofer that I got simply because Stuart is a true perfectionist. The original commission he believed he had messed up in some way and it was this one he decided to do in an almost apologetic manner. Gotta say I love them both and made sure that I even employed my secret weapon on that one, the wife.

Stuart Sayger Cover Artist – It’s a Blank sketch so it’s really whoever you decide to get on there.
So K How Many Are There???
I have to say this is probably the most sketched upon blank out there. In total there are 1461 total graded with amazingly 2 Gem Mint’s SS, 917 9.8’s, and to include mine 365 of these have been graded out at 9.6 with 353 earning the SS preceding the 9.6. There really are a ton of these out there but the big reasoning behind it was that these had a better stock of paper quality.
Story Title: Prologue – “Curse of the Mutants, Part 1”
MY TYPE OF SUMMARY:
Ok, so a very Goth guy who looks like a jacked version of Pulp Fictions Gimp decides to take a walk and get some air. Cause the closed zipper for a mouth seems to be the perfect walking attire. Cut to Pixie have a little pity lunch with Jubilee cause she’s now normal.
Goth boy decides it’s party time and decides to do his best impression of Party Boy only to find out he is severely allergic to the sun. Boom goes the Vampire and being the horrible date that he is decides not to tell the girl when he’s about to shoot off.
Jubilee gets Vamp juice in her mouth. Oh no, so she goes back to the X-Men tells them whats going down and Wolverine goes “Snikt” on some vampires for a little while. Some other random lady apparently also got Vamp juice in her mouth as well and now I think she’s in heat for a hickie or something. Oh no Blades in this one…grr I hate Vampires which is funny as I am a hypocrite and happen to be one… all done Curse of the Vampires or something begins.
