Set Description:

Only a single issue in this collection. A sketch of Magik by the very talented Elias Chatzoudis set up and picked up at NYCC 2013 by a boardie facilitator dscott/Doug. Cannot thank him enough for this one and many others he was able to get for me there.

PERSONAL COMMENTS:

In October of 2013 a CGC Signature facilitator dscott (Doug) who had already helped me obtain a few other commission spots offered me an additional slot for a second Elias Chatzoudis sketch on a Blank and after how amazing the Spiral I got from him turned out how could I not take him up on it.

For those who don’t normally see Elias’s art he is often times featured on some amazing Grim Fairy Tales covers and I have to say the little teen child in me enjoys his art. I don’t know if I would ever request a male character be done by him but for now there are plenty of females for me to look to getting and the next Set up will be the Stepford Sisters (Cuckoos) from the Uncanny X-Men current run.

As for the choice of Magik, normally before a Con Elias does full color options as can be seen by my Spiral Commission which I’ll post up once an Uncanny X-Force Vol. 2 Set is created but until then can be easily Googled, or checked out at sites like Deviantart or Comicartfans. Anyways since during a show he typically only does black and white or gray scale I figured who better to go with on this style than one of the darkest characters in the current X-Men line-up. I did ponder White Queen in her new Black outfit though and may really go well with my next choice following the Stepford Sisters if he has another at the Con opps.

NOW FOR THE BORING STUFF

KEY ISSUE: No not really. The start of Volume 3 for the X-Men title. Along with that this is where Jubilee becomes infected and eventually a Vampire

Elias Chatzoudis 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 – With a title like this you would think yawnnnn boring but you’d be wrong.

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.
