I think I’ve said it before, but if Greg Capullo EVER wants a break from Batman….Sean Murphy better have right of first refusal.
He already did.

Well, crap.
At least Punk Rock Jesus is now on my radar!
Aww dude. I wish you wouldn’t have posted that link. Now my fanboy heart is sick with all the great Sean Murphy comics I never knew I needed, but sadly, will never see on those lonely, lonely LCS shelves…
Or you could be happy for the artist who is forging his own path, and doing his own thing, despite personal sacrifice.
I respect the balls off of that.
That sounded snotty. It wasn’t supposed it. Sorry about that.
Wow, that’s quite a list. I’m glad he posted it. I’m sure it happens more than we realize. A guy works hard for years in obscurity, the right project makes him a name and all of the sudden he’s turning down cool gigs left and right. I’d like to see him take on almost everything on that list but like Josh said, it’s admirable as hell that he’s going back to his passion project instead.
LOVE the perspective in this illustration. Would love more Murphy/Morrison or Murphy/Snyder Batman, but I do respect his decision.
I thought Off Road was interesting but not great, hoping he continues to evolve in all aspects of his work.
There are so many awesome images in this week’s sketch up. The Phil Noto image makes me miss X23, the both batman sketches are insanely awesome and Solomon Grundy? Yeah I hear that guy is born on a monday.
That may be one of my favorite Noto pieces to date. And that’s sayin’ something, dammit.
The Noto piece is delightful. They should make a full book of a “X23 & Jubilee day out”! And Schoonover’s Grundy piece is awesome.
That Batman Vs. Joker image by Dan McDaid? The one where Joker is sporting his ’60s era Cesar Romero mustache? Well done.
Also, my love affair with Rafael Albuquerque and Dustin Nguyen continues.
Hah, is that the Cesar Romero version of the Joker?
Gah. That Noto sketch is making me want to read through X-23’s series.
That is Cesar Romero, Adam West, & Burt Ward in the scene from the Dark Knight.
Yeah, I caught that! The mustachioed Joker gave that away for me. LOL
Am I the only one who saw that shot of the Fridge and thought, “Wesley Willis?!”
Hah, now I can’t unsee that. I WHUPPED BATMANS ASS!
Much love for the Brandon Graham & Dustin Nguyen art too. And as always, Albuquerque be classin’ up the joint.
Holy CRAP. Sean Murphy, badass.
Gizmo!
I sent the forms and the money, and my Fridge Perry figure never came. 6-8 weeks my ass.
ah man that would be heartbreaking. For what its worth, The Fridge action figure became my least used Joe in my overly elaborate missions and kid war games. He just didn’t do anything cool, or have any good weapons from what i remember.
Football on a chain….
yeah it was like a melee weapon…i dunno. My Joe/Cobra battles were pretty scorched earth…No room for hand to hand combat! haha
I like that Jeff Zornow put one of the gremlins in a luchador mask
OK, this is just strange. I have a Charlie Chaplin sketchbook that I’ve been getting sketches in at cons for the past year or two and I was just telling my wife (two weeks ago) “I really hope Francesco Francavilla or Raphael Albuquerque end up coming to the Boston con this year, I’d love to see what either of them do for a Chaplin sketch.”
I think it goes without saying that’s my favorite sketch of the week…
Damn! That Skeksis is amazing.
At first I thought that Big Trouble sketch was of Tom Schrapling.
oh Robin, you adorable lil’ rapscallion
Phil Noto! AGAIN!
Zornow and Gremlins for the win!
No love for The Dark Crystal??? That Skeksis fills my eyeballs with joy.
That sketch certainly looks better than the actual movie 😛
What an incredibly solid week. This books up my lock/home screens for the next month.
As a big Chaplin fan, this week did my heart proud. And GREMLINS! OMG! So great!
Considering there are rumors that a second ‘Batman: Black and White’ series is in the making; Sean Murphy should be on the top of the list for artists just by that sketch alone.
Great sketches this week! I love the Phil Noto and the Rafael Albuquerque.
Sean Murphy. Not bad
That Chaplin is tops!
If you want more Sean Murphy Batman, check out Scarecrow Year One. It’s a pretty good story, too.
Beaautiful Chaplin by Rafael Albuquerque. I’d frame that and put it on my wall.
