My latest and penultimate piece for The Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe Reduxe Edition is now up. I have drawn Stingray once before, but this time, I decided to play up the Iron Man aspect of the fact that the character is basically an undersea Iron Man. Even though I always prefer a clean, …

301. Ms. Marvel
The original Ms. Marvel says “Happy Thankgsiving”. Or whatever.
280. Sleepwalker
Drawn for a chance to win the entire run of Sleepwalker comics from Nick Marino and his Audioshocker Podcasting Empire. Seriously, you only think I have a lot of podcasts. Check them out and wish me luck.
272. Omega Red
I don’t think I ever read any comics where Omega Red was a major character after his debut. Well, there were a couple issues of Ultimate Spider-Man where Ultimate Omega Red showed up. So anyhoo, he’s a pretty generic guy. But holy shit, when I was 12/13 when he debuted, I was into it. I …
271. Brother Voodoo
I don’t know a thing about Brother Voodoo. I do know that he ousted Dr. Strange as the Sorcerer Supreme once, and then called himself Doctor Voodoo. And it upset me. Just because he’s the Sorcerer Supreme didn’t mean he got a doctorate! Dr. Strange is Dr. Strange because he’s a fucking doctor! And then …
262. Hellcat
Patsy Walker is a weird character. Starting off as a romance/comedy character and becoming an Avenger. I don’t mind her original costume, but it is a little bland, especially for a character with a modelling background. I tried to fashion-up the costume, but there is a reason I’m not a fashion designer. Also, my first …
261. Gladiator
I read a short story once in an old issue of Marvel Comics Presents featuring Gladiator. It was a pretty great introduction to the character and managed to explain his entire schtick and tell a compelling story in 8 pages. He was a reformed Daredevil villain who opened a costume shop. This kid comes in …
259. Electro
So one thing I’ve noticed is that I tend to really like the original costumes of the characters I’ve been redesigning (Mr. Terrific excluded). Electro is no different! I love the ridiculous oversized mask and the corny lightning suspenders and the lightning flared gloves. It’s glorious and I would gladly pay to see Amazing Spider-Man …
257. Havok
Havok has had his share of terrible costumes. Pretty much anything past 1994 or so. I’m pretty sure you can add this one to the list. For me, you can’t get past the perfection of his original outfit. It’s great and if you don’t think so, there’s the cliff off which you can dive. I’d …
