~~~ Nope, it's digitally lettered.  X-FORCE 129 is my first Marvel book 
where I handled 100% of the lettering chores.  I'm type designer to Mike 
Allred (main artist on X-FORCE/X-STATIX as well as MADMAN, ATOMICS).  He 
typically does the actual lettering but I design all his fonts.   In this 
case, Mike was a little behind, and editor, Axel Alonso asked if I'd take 
over.  Can't say 'no' to that.  They seemed really pleased, and Axel is 
working on "phasing in" Blambot to do more lettering for Marvel.  I've been 
promised "fill in" issues and other projects besides X-STATIX.
