1464. Captain Comet


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.

1463. Arrowette


Again, no idea who this is or what her deal is. Sorry, Jorell, sorry Peter David!

1462. The Secret


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.

1461a. Edna

I sketched my pal Edna during a drawing night with Jason Young.

1461. Red Tornado

1460. Wonder Girl

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.

1459. Impulse


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.

1458. Superboy

I never really read 90s Superboy, but for some reason I still dig the way he looks.

1457. Robin


It’s Jorell Rivera Week! Jorell is a longtime online friend and he is one of my Patreon supporters as well. You should all join him in supporting my Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/shonborn.

You should also support the awesome comic that Jorell draws called Go Robo Now. https://facebook.com/GoRoboNow/

I asked Jorell if he wanted a theme week, and he chose to make it a Young Justice theme week. Which is awesome if only because it gives me a chance to draw the best Robin with the best Robin costume. Tim Drake, y’all. Fight. Me.

1456. Arachnid

Here’s the one character I didn’t remember.
