A few gems from this week…

Cliff Chiang’s Wonder Woman #1

And how about this cover, which was an early version by Cliff Chiang that wasn’t used, I like EVEN BETTER. I mean…Wonder Woman with an awesome battle ax?! YES.

This is a great illustration for Legion of Super-Heroes #1, and a great example of how to do “floating figures” well…by integrating them into the design so that they’re not actually floating.

Marcos Martin continues to absolutely kill these Daredevil covers.

Panels of the Week – 9/14/11

September 24, 2011 in art, artists, batwoman, DC Comics | 1 comment

Some of you may have noticed that there was no Panel of the Week last week…the simple reason for that is because there is no way for me to scan basically the entirety of J.H. Williams III’s Batwoman #1.

And I just can’t pick one. It’s too hard. It’s like…NOBODY could make that decision.

Check out a few preview pages below so that you can understand the dilemma!

But there were some very nice offerings this week beyond Batwoman, so some runner ups!

WTF

September 15, 2011 in art, breasts, comics, marvel comics, rogue | 6 comments

I love Jim Cheung’s art, dude is a straight up badass. But what on the motherfuckingplanet is the excuse for this crap with Rogue’s costume? I mean…it’s just ABSURD.

The “Rogue costume problem” which went on for so long over the past year, has largely stopped. I haven’t seen her unzipped, or at least not to unreasonable levels for a very long time. So where THE HELL does this come from? Man, this kind of silly crap makes me so frustrated with comics.

C’mon Mr. Cheung, you are SO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS. What happened?!?!?

From CBR

Also, I thanked Derek in the tweet about this post for the heads up, but didn’t do so in the actual post. Apologies Derek and thanks for the heads up!

Cover(s) of the Week – 9/7/11

I don’t know if there were really that many great covers this week, or if I’m just feeling indecisive…but I have a bunch this week. Ironically in DC’s big first “52” week, only one of their covers makes my list:

Wolverine: Debt of Death by David Aja and Elizabeth Breitweizer:
