What a cool card! Not a ton of detail, not a color sketch, but I love how Mike drew this card. I particularly like the middle of the face- how he drew the forehead, the nose, and the eyes looking to the side. Mace Windu, who's not a main character but definitely a recognizable one, was played by Samuel L. Jackson and appeared in "The Phantom Menace", "Attack of the Clones", "Revenge of the Sith" and of course the new film "Star Wars: Clone Wars". Mace Windu is also a major character in the Cartoon Network series "Star Wars: Clone Wars". Like I said, what a cool card! Thanks for reading...

Captain Rex
Well, it's been awhile since I posted, so if you check in from time to time I'm sorry that I haven't been more diligent. Card shows and life in general has kept me busy. Luckily I've been able to pick up a few new Durons, including this color Captain Rex. Clone Wars is definitely one of my favorite sets that Mike's worked on, but then again, I think that every time I see new cards from him. I was a big Lord of the Rings fan, so when I saw his LOTR's cards I thought they were super cool. I've always liked the Indiana Jones movies, so Mike bringing characters and scenes to life just made me like his cards all the more. And then I wasn't sure what I was more excited about- hearing there'd be a new Star Wars movie (Clone Wars) or a Topps set with Mike's sketches in them. I bought two of Mike's returns from Clone Wars and I'm waiting to get them- the first return cards I've ever bought.. so I'll be sure to post them when I get them. As alot of Mike's fans know, he's been going thru a rough stretch in his personal life, so I hope everyone can be patient and understanding with him. Thanks for reading...
