Ok, PANIC!: Wizard of Oz

X-Men/Oz mash-up. I guess Cyclops is Scarecrow? Still better than anything Jonathan Hickman is doing (yes, this is a post from the FUTURE!).

040 – Wheeler of Oz

039 – Robot

Just a robot. On a post-it.

038 – Skin Mask

Sort of a Batman-y Rogue that I thunk up all by myself, though I’m sure there are similar looking characters somewhere. I just wanted to draw a dude with most of his head skinned, except for a domino-esque mask of face. I like masks. Done on a post-it.

033 – Mr. Terrific

As I think I mentioned when I did The Spectre piece earlier, I was a big fan of the John Ostrander/Tom Mandrake run on the book. During the later part of their story, they introduced Michael Holt as a suicidal man that The Spectre helps out by telling Holt the life story of Terry Sloan, …

032 – Human Torch

Eh. Human Torch. He’s dead. Spoilers. My guess: He’ll be back in about 11 months, right around the time that the Fantastic Four comic would have reached issue #600.
