I’ve always been fond of Moon Knight. I am definitely not fond of the dissociative disorder that writers have been forcing on the character. It really does not make him more interesting. Oh well.
This was requested by Chris Jones, whom I’ve known for a while. He is fond of saying that my work “rules earth”, and while I’d prefer not to rule over anything, I appreciate his enthusiasm and the compliment.
Back before Marvel Comics became what we know today, they published a lot of monster and sci-fi comics. One of those had a monster called The Hulk. This was he. Eventually they made another character named The Hulk, and so when someone decided to use this character, they called him Xemnu.
Neil Soblieski doesn’t exist on any social media or online, but he does exist in our hearts. He is an occasional employee at my local comic shop and he is frequently a good dude, and this is his request.
Here we are, the final week of the Sketch-a-Day! Not a theme week, but just asking individuals who have been friends and cheerleaders for one-off requests.
Today is Mike Adams, who requested Captain Comet – a character I was only vaguely aware of. He appeared in the Secret Society of Supervillains in the late 70s, and post Infinite Crisis or something or other in something something something. I see the trade at Ollie’s a lot. It looks awful.
Anyways, Mike is the co-creator and co-writer of the sci-fi epic comic Finite with Bruce O. Hughes. It is not awful. People should find it and read it. I helped color some pages in issue 2. Or 3. I can’t recall. I did a back cover too. For whichever issue I didn’t color.
Anyway, make them money.
Again, no idea who this is or what her deal is. Sorry, Jorell, sorry Peter David!
I’m gonna be honest here: I have only read 1 issue of the original Young Justice comic. The first issue. I hated it so much that I tore it up and threw it away. So basically, I have no idea who this character is.
Also, today is the 4th anniversary of when I began Sketch-a-Day version 3.0. I should have ended yesterday, dedicated as I am to milestone dates. But there’s another full week of sketches before I close the curtains. I have my reasons. They are not deep or sentimental.
Stick around.
I sketched my pal Edna during a drawing night with Jason Young.
I’ve spent the better part of 25 years trying to understand Donna Troy, I do not need another Wonder Girl plodding around and fucking up continuity.
I was a big fan of Impulse in the 90s, particularly his early appearances and 1st two dozen or so issues of his 90s series.
I never really read 90s Superboy, but for some reason I still dig the way he looks.
