Ok, PANIC!: Batman Villains

Ok, PANIC!: Batman Villains

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

208 – Stingray

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.

207 – Bulldozer

207 – Bulldozer

The final Wrecking Crew member, Bulldozer, who looks like a junior version of Juggernaut. That still makes him 1000% better than Piledriver. Seriously, fuck that guy. I’ll probably do a team sketch in the future. Piledriver will be obscured by everyone else. Guaranteed.

206 – Thunderball

206 – Thunderball

Part 3 of The Wrecking Crew, Thunderball. His costume’s not great, but he carries a giant wrecking ball on a chain, and that more than makes up for it. It certainly puts him leagues ahead of Piledriver.

205 – Piledriver

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 …

204 – Wrecker

204 – Wrecker

The first of a series of requests for Jason Young, The Wrecking Crew. First up is Wrecker. I have to admit to not knowing a thing about these characters, other than they have some sort of Asgardian powers and tools. I think Wrecker’s costume is nice, and I loved the ridged mask.

203 – The Whizzer

203 – The Whizzer

Fulfilling a request. The Whizzer is a somewhat obscure Golden Age Marvel speedster, and the name is also used by the speedster from The Squadron Supreme, I think (it was hard to find info on this guy). The original Whizzer was retconned as a member of The Invaders, the WWII super team that featured Captain …

202 – Squirrel Girl

202 – Squirrel Girl

After yesterday’s heady confessional, let’s go with something a little lighter. Fulfilling a request for Sarah Potter (daughter of my Ok, PANIC! cohort Jeff Potter), it’s Squirrel Girl! The only things I know about Squirrel Girl are: a) she was created by Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko b) she was created in 1992. I honestly thought …

201 – Justice, Nevada

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

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 …
