Over the past two days, I have watched a couple of DC direct to DVD animated movies. I watched Flashpoint Paradox and War. And, pretty much everything that I dislike about the modern state of the DC Comic Universe is front and center on both of the movies. However, I also watched the Target exclusive …

375. Angel
The second Angel, from Grant Morrison’s run on X-Men, played by Zoe Kravitz in X-Men: First Class, and one of the weakest parts of an otherwise excellent movie.
333. Sabretooth
I’ve never been a huge fan of any of Sabretooth’s costumes. I suppose when I saw the Jim Lee redesign in the early 90s, I glommed to that. So when I got the request to draw Sabretooth for the blog, I was prepared to draw that version. But doing a quick reference scan, I saw …
312. The Blob
A rare bit of comic work. Written by Joe Grunenwald.
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 …
266. Riptide
This was a tough one to get around and I absolutely failed. In the comics, Riptide – one of Mr. Sinister’s Marauders that killed a bunch of Morlocks in the Mutant Massacre – is pretty much always in human tornado mode. Looking him up, it took a while to find out what he’s wearing under …
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 …
253. Dazzler
I’m not sure who requested this one. Anyhoo, Dazzler’s an X-Man, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, a dimension-hopping adventurer and apparently future president (fucking spoilers). But the one thing she is above all else: Pop Star. So that’s what I went with here. I tried to combine her two most famous looks and meld it together all …
56. Classic X-Men
Post-it sketch. I wanted to try a heavy shadowed figure, stark contrast with no hatching, and then it turned into Cyclops. Then I added the recognizable silhouettes. I hope anyway.
