Scarlet Issue 2 By Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev Marvel Icon Scarlet issue 1 was much enjoyed by Michael a few months back and I thought I’d stop by issue 2 to see if I could share in the fun. Straight off I can see exactly what he means, and it’s very much a [...]

Twart does Silver Sable….

Sunday, October 17, 2010

Comments Off

Another mention for Comics Twart, the collaborative blog where artists pick a subject to draw and post the results over the week.

Comments Off

Twitter and Tumblr combine with artists jumping all over the Marvel Cats meme going round. Twitter search here, Agent M’s Tumblr collection here. If I were you I’d look at it now, have a quick giggle and a smile and then ignore it before it gets really annoyingly ubiquitous. (Catlactus by Chris Eliopoulos) (Daredevil Kitty [...]

Friday, August 6, 2010

Comments Off

Scarlet #1 By Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev Marvel/Icon It’s quite difficult to tell you what Scarlet is actually about. Even after reading the first issue and Marvel’s blurb I’m still struggling to give you a brief outline of this new book from their Icon imprint. It seems that Scarlet is a new character [...]

More Marvel Variants ….. lovely, but strange

Sunday, June 6, 2010

The variant cover thing is something that haunts my nightmares. I automatically think hideous metallic, hologram, foil rubbish from the 90s. But then Marvel start putting out things like these as part of their Iron Man 2.0 by design variant series…… (A spectacular Alan Aldridge Avengers #2 variant cover on the left – Aldridge being [...]
