HEY Gang,
Welcome to the first blog post of 2012!

As some of you might know as the TradesJanitor I'm often called upon to do all types of different things in the Trades Department. However sometimes when all the planets are lined up just right, I even get asked to do things for OTHER departments!

Take for example, WOLVERINE #8. The cover of that issue has some beautiful JAE LEE artwork of Cyke letting loose on poor 'ol Wolverine. So the editor for this book wanted to go with something a little more X-tra than the standard logo. (LUCKILY, I happened to be mopping right outside that office at the time!) Under the weight of overwhelming deadlines the editor charged out of their office, looked at me and huffed, "YOU! Wolverine logo. Laser-blasted. My desk. BY YESTERDAY!" "WOW!" I thought! I was getting asked to work on the cover logo to one of my favor... "DON'T JUST STAND THERE DAYDREAMING! GET TO WORK!" 

   Well, anyway this week's featured Trade WOLVERINE:WOLVERINE VS. THE X-MEN (along with Wolverine #8) has the logo that was approved by the editors. BUT WHAT YOU'LL NEVER SEE ANYWHERE ELSE... are the logos that I did that didn't get picked (see, that's why you have to check this blog EVERY WEEK!) Check 'em out
