Is this from MARATHON? Well If that is, then I'd be buying it soon...;)

Hell yes it's from Marathon. How could something so cool -not- be from Marathon?! That level was -so- fun. Of course there were a 'few' casualties...but that's the nature of war, when BOB's are involved, isnt it?

The Marathon series paintings are some of my favorite paintings ever.
