I never cared much for this character. He had pretty standard-issue, uncreative powers, plus he was kind of an angry bastard all the time (hence his name). Oh, get this: Rage’s strength would grow the more he punched things or used his power in an aggressive way, kind of like the Hulk.
John Stewart is Hal Jordan’s backup cop, should anything happen to him.
Actually, that’s not quite true. John Stewart is the backup backup cop. Green Lantern Guy Gardner was the primary backup to Hal Jordan. John was really only brought in when Guy was injured and out of action.
This will be a quick one, since I really don’t know too much about Patriot. I don’t care to read about his adventures since his team, the Young Avengers, isn’t very interesting to me.
War Machine is James “Rhodey” Rhodes, the best friend of well known Marvel hero Iron-Man. Most of you already knew this from suffering through the latest, and frankly pretty awful, Iron-Man 2 movie.
What I remember about Black Goliath is that I really didn’t like the character. I didn’t like that he was an also-ran type of a character who was following in the footsteps of an original character…
Vixen (real name Mari McCabe) is a woman who possesses a magical totem that allows her to mimic the characteristics and abilities of any animal. The power seems kind of stupid at first but bear with me…
I have to be honest here, back in the day I didn’t really know too much about Black Lightning, I thought the character was a copy of Black Vulcan from the old Superfriends series.
This is one of the Marvel Comics character Nova. I drew the figure in pencil, scanned it and then did the rest in Photoshop (click to view larger). I may have mentioned this before, but I’m a big comics and sci-fi fan. Strangely enough, the sci-fi offerings found in comics are pretty bad – downright […]
I think I told you guys before how much I hated winter, so it should come as no surprise that I decided to draw up a comic about it. Read on and enjoy! Click images to view larger.
For all you comic artists who haven’t yet went to an all digital workflow, this one’s for you. As you probably know, most comic artists work on 11″ x 17″, or tabloid size bristol board. This just works out better for many reasons, chief of which are the fact that it’s just easier to work […]
I was reading up on some R.E.B.E.L.S. this weekend and I got to thinking about the various sci-fi offerings between Marvel and DC. I’m a big fan of the sci-fi stuff, and Marvel was hitting on all fronts with the Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy type of comics, but they seem to have wrapped […]
You’d think this wouldn’t need to be said, but harsh (movie) experience has taught me otherwise. This is a warning for the evil genius’s out there. There isn’t a robot in existence that wouldn’t turn on us if given the chance. Robots now and robots in the future are just waiting for us to slip […]
I worked up some pieces recently based on a particular scene from Grant Morrison run of Batman. Morrison’s writing is kind of hit or miss with me. I’ll start with the good stuff.
Man, that PopUp Domination really gets your attention, doesn’t it? I was reading yet another post about list-building for your website and of course the PopUp Domination plugin was brought up.
Here’s a character design of one of the bad guys from my webcomic The Ever Zone, Vizron the Litch-Lord. A quick character summary: Vizron is an undead creature known as a Litch. A Litch is like an upgraded vampire -stronger and more powerful, without weakness to sun or wooden stakes. Instead of feeding on blood […]
It’s finally here! The long-awaited Hypertransitory comic debuts today. Aw, who am I kidding? No one was waiting for this. I just drew this up this weekend. Read on for the rest of the sordid details.
Hey everyone, time for another half-assed review. I finally got around to reading all three of these post-SIEGE Avengers launches and I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised at least once. I’ll start off with the main Avengers title:
This is a character who has gone by many names – Photon, Pulsar, but most notably, her first code name was Captain Marvel. This character is not nearly as much of a hot mess as most of them.
There’s a lot more exciting comics out there than Daredevil these days, and I only write this because after I read the latest issue I realized that I’m about to drop this one.
Another Black day, another Black superhero. This time we’ll focus on Marvel Comics The Black Panther.
