Art Attack: April 2013's Coolest Covers

-If I were making up a list of dream characters I wanted Paolo Rivera to draw, Sleepwalker would likely not be on it, but given his surreal design and Paolo's knack for making fine art out of the unusual, it's a great fit.

-That Pat Gleason Batman is one you could plaster across consumer products, posters, wallpapers, etc. for years to come. It just encapsulates the character perfectly and looks cool as heck. There are a million ways to draw Batman, and to come up with an "on model" version seems wrong, but that's about what I'd picture.

-I've said it before, but I would really really like to see Dustin Nguyen drawing more stuff, y'know? Is he still doing interiors on the Batman Beyond digital book?

-No idea what Dark Horse Presents is about this month, but Dave Johnson really is an outside-the-box master.

-Mike Del Mundo is a revelation, man. He does clever and inventive two different ways this month: funny on Deadpool Killustrated and more cerebral on X-Men Legacy. This guy is only going to get better too. I want to see inside his brain.

-I love Mike Allred's re-imagining of the Yancy Street Gang so much.

-If you're gonna do an homage, homage the best (see: Mighty Skullkickers).

-It may be a different Nova, but it's still a kick to see Mark Bagley drawing a Human Rocket.

-What could be more Ryan Stegman than doing an homage to yourself and a cover you drew a couple months ago? Stegman, you beautiful genius.

-Who/what did Thanos just eat/kill?

-Young Avengers #4 by Jamie McKelvie is currently the wallpaper on my work computer.

  1. Hey Guys random question,
    Has Bruce Timm or Paul Dini ever been contacted for the justice league movie? I mean They put out quality products for years..
    How hard can it be to write a movie with some of the coolest characters with large budget?
