This may be one of the best things I’ve ever colored.

208 – Stingray
I have never read a single comic with Stingray in it, and if I have, the character obviously never made an impression, outside of his costume – which is awesome. Apparently he is some sort of underwater Iron Man, the superhero oceanographer, and a reserve Avenger. I look forward to seeing his movie in 2018.
205 – Piledriver
Part 2 of The Wrecking Crew: Piledriver. This may be the worst drawing I’ve ever done for this blog, especially for a request, but Holy Christ, Piledriver has to be the biggest turd of a villain ever created. I was so bored two seconds into even doing research on this dull asshole, I wanted to …

201 – Justice, Nevada
If I remember correctly, today is the birthday of Bruce O. Hughes. Bruce and I met in art school in 1998, around the time we were graduating. For no real reason, up until that point, I disliked the man. Just me and my long string of anti-social asshole behavior. When we finally bonded (over Bruce …
200 – Animal Man
Grant Morrison’s Animal Man is in my top 10 favorite comic runs of all time. It’s a trippy, fun, dark, and brilliant take on what was essentially a z-list character, proving that any character can become a success with the right support behind them. Animal Man is getting relaunched for the New DCU, written by …
