Comments

  1. Franco is such a good artist. All kids in any comic book should be as cute as that.

    Plus, holy shit can Jeff Lemire draw superheroes. He needs to do art for The Atom co-feature and not just the story.

  2. Absolutly love the Jeffrey Cruz Starman sketch. The Lemire one is really nice as well.

  3. Spoons Spoons says:

    Stargirl one is awesome.  I gotta say though the boots on the Batgirl sketch look a little odd.

  4. BornIn1142 BornIn1142 says:

    D’awwww, Stargirl!

    Also, while the Starman picture looks great, I do have to wonder… why red?

  5. Cooper Cooper says:

    That Jeff Lemire pic is unlike anything I’ve seen him do before, it’s fantastic.

  6. Slockhart Slockhart says:

    Batgirl brings a whole new meaning to "cankle"

  7. Paul Montgomery PaulMontgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    That Starman is awesome! Love the thatched background. 

    The Mick Foley is really cool too. At first I thought it was Jabbar from Parenthood.  

  8. have to disagree with everyone on that Lemire Hawkman and Atom sketch. I feel its a really ugly over stylization. 

    I like his "regular stuff" so much better…if it ain’t broke…

  9. KahunaBlair KahunaBlair says:

    The "Cankle" thing with Dave Johnson’s work is a style he seems to really enjoy drawing when it comes time for him to just have fun. His gallery is full of similar stuff. I’m a fan of it if only because you look at those pictures and instantly know it’s his work.

    Cruz’s thatch look is a great work around for con sketches. He seems to have started trying it out recently and I for one love it. That Starman is definitely the best of the bunch, but you can see a smattering of his other sketches here: http://lastscionz.deviantart.com/art/SUPANOVA-MELBOURNE-2010-161127560

     I love Franco’s sketches.  Everytime someone posts them on Twitter I get all tingly inside.

    @Slockhart: LMFAO!!!

  11. mikegraham6 mikegraham6 says:

    @kahunablair jeez you basically put this entire column together yourself!

    I’d kill my own grandmother for that Lemire sketch

  12. Cedric Cedric says:

    Look at that bat that’s in love with batgirl’s ass:D. I don’t like the Atom’s face on the Jeff Lemiresketch. He looks like a suprised alien.

  13. Selfstyler Selfstyler says:

    Stargirl is adorable!

    And Allen the Alien as Rick Grimes?  Might be the best thing I’ve seen.  Like, ever.

  14. GLNancy GLNancy says:

    I’m confused I thought Art Baltazar does the tiny titans? and Franco just writes?

  15. drakedangerz drakedangerz says:

    That Allen sketch is hilarious. Love Ryan’s work.

  16. AmirCat AmirCat says:

    Dave Johnson rules!

  17. KahunaBlair KahunaBlair says:

    @GLNancy – They do work like that normally, but Franco has drawn stuff for it as well. They have very similar styles.

  18. comicdork37 comicdork37 says:

    Dig the Mick Foley sketch, but shouldn’t he be missing half an ear? Have a nice day! Bang Bang!

  19. misterckent misterckent says:

    I wish I could get into Jeff Lemire’s art.  It’s just not my thing and everyone has the scared eyes and crazy looking faces.  

  20. Bendrix Bendrix says:

    With all of Johnsons cover work being so design-heavy, I tend to forget he is a great penciler as well.
