I think Gamora's costume would be improved immeasurably with the simple addition of a hood and cape

Gaslight · November 2013

All the complaining that goes on about skimpy, impractical, overly sexualized female superhero attire...

Now they take a character who wore a combat swimsuit and give her head-to-toe armor and now we're not happy with that either?

i'm not happy with either costume there
just because something is non-sexualized doesnt mean it's good in comparison to something that is sexualized

also, look at her body composition.

even if she is covered head-to-toe, she is still falling for maximum boobs-butt exposure.

Gamora's current getup manages to be extremely busy and also bland and uninteresting at the same time.

Etchwarts · November 2013

Yeah, I like the idea of that Mass Effect style armor for a uniform for a space traveling superhero team

But that particular armor's kind of bland

Tony Moore drew a Krampus

Starman by Ramon Villalobos

I really like this cover, by Ulises Farinas.

It's a cool concept, and executed really well. I like the pink, neon lettering. Though, I really prefer this version, with the more saturated colors.

DouglasDanger · December 2013

I love the work of Ulises Farinas so much

I just love Kevin Maguire's work, especially dem faces!

I want a crossover with one side drawn by Francavilla and one side by Cliff Chiang

I don't care who the characters or writers are

Chip Zdarsky did a Quantum & Woody variant:

Travel Foreman (Animal Man, Iron Fist) has a new book coming out.

Crimsondude · December 2013

So metal. Can't wait to see the final product from Mark Laming (monkeymarc):

From the always awesome Ramon Villalobos:

I love the gnarly, knotted musculature in Daredevil's back.

Linespider5 · December 2013

I like how the horns are fluted instead of the stubby little ones Daredevil usually has.

Not sure if those clodhopper boots will work for leaping building to building, but whatever.

Mike Danger · December 2013

Oh my God Mondo you can't do this to me

With the shorts and the wrapped hands, I think those are supposed to be boxing shoes.

Michel Fiffe's Image heroes.

There's something I really love about seeing the Image characters, drawn in a sort of understated indie style.

Also, I just commissioned Kyle Starks to do a Blue Beetle piece for me, because of course.

He'd previously done an illustration I really liked, with Beetle sitting on top of his Bug, which reminded me of this one I'd done.

So, I asked him about selling it to me, and was informed it had already sold. So, he did this instead.

The one at the bottom was the one I'd asked about buying, and the one at the top is what he wound up drawing for me. I like that it's basically the same scene, but flipped around to be viewed from a different angle.

Ben Templesmith, because somebody in another thread called his art terrible and that's just a ludicrous thing to happen.

Word. I really like his style; exaggerated proportions, gritty linework, and a really nice sense of motion, makes for some pretty cool, kinetic comics.

Garlic Bread · January 2014

I don't recall ever reading anything with sequential art by him, but his pinups are fantastic

The Wall. Pencils. 28 x 17. 1982.

Inks by Terry Austin.

This is the first appearance of The Wall. It was a spread in the X-Men and the Teen Titans cross-over. Chris Claremont and I extrapolated some stuff that Jack Kirby had done in his New Gods comic about 10 years earlier, and came up as a specific visual for the 'barrier' at the edge of the universe, beyond which was The Source.

I like that even though it appeared in an inter-company cross-over, it became part of DC canon. And I like that occasionally, I see the idea credited to Jack.

I've always taken those things to mean that we melded our idea into the DCU and the Fourth World in an appropriate and effective way.

Cool.

HEY! I just read Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans the other day! I saw that! It was pretty neat, and I thought it had been around longer than that too.
