Hey
#alphaflight
fans! Im working on my next set of heads, but these weren't drawn by Byrne and lack the detail those classic 70s/80s heads had (left column, original to the 1988 art). So I improvised a bit and I think the right hand column looks pretty good as a draft.

Hi folks, it’s summer, and things have got a bit busier in our day-to-day. We’re dipping in to our Patreon exclusive Why Not Have a Drink episode where we discuss Thunderbolts Asterisk. Seemed appropriate this week, what with the movie hitting digital and all that.
