~~~ 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.
