Dynamo 5 #25 & Thunderbolts #137 Out Now

Long time no see. How about some... news.

Dynamo 5 #25 is out now.
This issue is the end of the story arc where everything changes for the Dynamo kids. It was a blast to draw this storyline. Go check it out. I'm sure you'll enjoy the story. This also is the last issue I've done the interior art for. At least for the time being. I will continue to do covers and character designs and stay on board as co-creator. We have some awesome stuff planned for the book in the future so stay tuned.

Thunderbolts #137
Written by Rick Remender and drawn by yours truly. This one has been on the shelves for a couple weeks now. It's a double-sized stand alone issue featuring the amazing Power Man and Iron Fist.

Be sure to check them out. In the meantime I'm working on my upcoming Marvel projects. More on those later.

Take care!

Slave Leia

Another theme I wanted to work on for a long time. Probably since I first saw the movie when I was a kid. Recently replenished my some art materials which encouraged me to get this one done. Used warm and cool Copic markers. Had a lot of fun.

Justice League 80-Page Giant

My first DC gig, Justice League 80-Page Giant, which I have drawn some months ago is finally out. Here's a double page spread I did for the book in pencil followed by the solicitation info;

Written by Chuck Kim, Josh Williamson, Rich Fogel and others; Art by Mahmud Asrar, Adrian Syaf and others; Cover by Jay Anacleto

With a tale this massive, we could only fit it in an 80-page giant! When a battle between Epoch and the Time Commander spills over into our era, the Justice League finds itself scattered throughout time. That leaves Superman and Dr. Light fighting alongside a tornado-powered Samurai, Green Lantern and Red Arrow locked in a showdown with Cinnamon in the Old West, Green Arrow and Firestorm facing the Bride of Frankenstein in WWII, John Stewart and Vixen drawing swords alongside the Shining Knight, and Black Canary and Zatanna evading gangsters with the original Crimson Avenger!

Reintroducing the classic, extra-sized issues for a whole new generation, this special issue features the writing of TV's Chuck Kim (Heroes) and Rich Fogel (Batman Beyond, Justice League) along with writer Joshua Williamson (Dear Dracula) and artists such as Mahmud Asrar (Dynamo 5) and Adrian Syaf (BLACKEST NIGHT: BATMAN!

Meanwhile...

My next Marvel gig, Thunderbolts #137 - a double sized stand alone issue, will be out in less than a month. The book was written by Rick Remender. Check out the solicitation here - Thunderbolts #137

I probably can't say at this time but I'll be attached to some other Marvel books in the upcoming months. So stay tuned for more info.

Nana!

This one was especially made for my wife. She's a fan of the Anime series Nana and that's the inspiration for this sketch.

A lot of fun working on this one and I'm happy to say that she's liked it good enough to hang it on a wall in our home.

I've used Copic cool and warm grays for this and I feel it looks much better in real life even if I say so myself. The scan doesn't do justice to the tones on the original.

As a bonus here's the inked version which I scanned before doing the tonal work with the markers.

Batman & Poison Ivy

This was another water colour commission done pre-show. The subject was a lot of fun. Should give it another shot sometime.

The scan was ugly so I tried to correct the colours somewhat digitally.

30/60/90 Vampirella

This was a gift for a friend, Yoann who is also one of the guys putting on the Paris Manga show and also the publisher to Crow comics in France. Yoann and his friends were so generous and kind to me that I had to get him something back.

This one took longer than 90 minutes but not much so I thought it'd still qualify for the title. Used a different brand of markers. And here is the inked version of it for those of you who are interested.

Meanwhile I'll be posting stuff on the time we spent in Paris soon.

Paris Manga This Weekend!
