Ironmandrd Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 As I recall from the video and extrapolating based on the small sampling, getting Mrs. A and getting a bottle are likely the worst draws one could have gotten--next up would be a B minus level villain like Firepower or B level villain like Blizzard. While I'm sure Layton did more Iron Mans than anything else, I'm sure he did at least one of a bunch of villains of varying popularity (like Ghost, Blacklash, Melter, Titanium Man, Mandarin etc.), he probably did a few Dr Doom ones (one is barely shown in the video) and a few superheroes (a Hulk is shown in the video).

I agree with more bells and whistles with this one - even Tony leaning over her shoulder would have been better. How many of these were done with a sketch? Now I am curious to see how many people will get one of these head-scratcher sketches. I believe there are 50 of these sketch editions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if you showed it to Layton maybe he would throw in tony in armor interacting with her. Like maybe in his office with Tony on one side behind a desk and an empty earlier mark ironman suit on the other standing there. Lot of possibilities there.

Ironmandrd Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 If you handled it correctly (respectfully, politely, good naturedly, etc.), I think there's a good chance that Bob would draw a headshot or head/shoulders Tony on it for free Unless you caught him at just the right moment or he was in an especially good mood, I doubt he would draw something more elaborate.

Popular Post ESeffinga Posted July 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) That’s just nuts. It can’t be good for future book sales, if people start worrying the artist is going to give them some 6th tier character for their hard earned dollar.

zhamlau Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Not trying to be an apologist here cause I get why people wouldnt want this as their "reward" art. But maybe he thought it was unique drawing her and a fan would dig it. For this type of money yeah its probably better if artists avoid "deep cuts" like this and stick to Iron Man himself or a main enemy, but it could just be a small error in judgement. Is Bob someone who is fan friendly, only talked to him once for a moment but seemed alright. If so, good chance like Darren said he would rock some addition on it gratis. mister_not_so_nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeGiant Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 This does give me pause for buying something like this. I am pretty sure that nobody had a thought that they might get Mrs. A as the sketch in their book and might keep them from rolling the dice again on such a book. That said, I am sure Bob Layton did the drawing thinking that some diehard fan might love it. Problem is, the odds of this making its way into that person's hands are slim and none.

Maybe, it's not Mrs. Arbogast after all - it looks like it could be Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow in retirement at age 57. There, all better.

namurr7227 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hi! Nate Murray from IDW Limited here. I meant to keep this piece in-house. You should have a DM from me regarding trading this. For anyone curious - the set is roughly 50/50 on Iron Man and other characters, this is the sole Mrs. A. We have 9 copies left for sale as of 7/24.

Ironmandrd Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Random question for owners of this book--does this book have any other special features in the back? Like copies of any art or anything else unusual (like copies of little seen promos)?. Also the IDW site says that this does not have issue #128--is that true? Thanks in advance.

We have 9 copies left for sale as of 7/24. Personally, I'd keep ahold of Mrs A. She'll soon be elevated to the kind of cult status of something like, 'Patience is a Virue', the stuff of legends. Iron Man drawings? Nah, anyone can get one of those . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
