Mike Mignola, John Arcudi, and Tonci Zonjic bring us the first new Lobster Johnson story in four years. From the pages of Hellboy, Lobster Johnson and his allies arrive to take on a tribe of phantom Indians who are scalping policemen! If that isn’t enough to pique your interest, I don’t know what is?!
Here’s a six page preview of Lobster Johnson: The Burning Hand #1 courtesy of Dark Horse Comics.
DC Comics gives us a look inside their new Batman original graphic novel, Batman: Death by Design by writer/designer Chip Kidd and artist Dave Taylor. The story is set around the architecture and design of Gotham City and features Batman and his nemesis, The Joker.
Set against the period backdrop of an expansive Gotham City construction boom, the unique take on the Batman mythology is brought to life by acclaimed writer/designer Chip Kidd and fan favorite artist Dave Taylor. Together, they weave a singular tale that captures the flavor of the city as it’s never been seen, while also creating an new look at Batman that re-imagines both the caped crusader and his iconic nemesis – the Joker.

We’re always looking to find new cool and unusual artistic interpretations of comic book characters to share with you. Today we came across some really cool prints by freelance illustrator and designer from Waterloo, Iowa – Michael Myers of Drawsgood Illustration & Design!
The pieces below were created between 2010 and 2011 for both personal projects and commissions. They are of a minimalist design yet convey the characters clearly and boldly. Great stuff!
Many different artists have given us their interpretations of superheroes and supervillains over the years. We’ve seen hundreds of artists work on long established characters such as Superman, Batman, Captain America, and The Joker. But imagine if an artist like Pablo Picasso tried his hand at those characters?
Well, you don’t have to imagine it any longer. Mike Esparza gives us his interpretation of what those characters would look like if the master painter Pablo Picasso had decided to paint them. The attention to the detailed marriage of Picasso’s style and the characters’ likeness and costume is what makes his interpretations so great.
Ted McKeever brings Mondo to Image this January in a three issue mini series.
Catfish’s daily grind of "enhancing" poultry comes to a halt when he is accidentally tripped up by a loose chicken, causing him to fall victim to his own process. What proportions of his that were once human are now beyond anything normal. Add villainous corporate and military big wigs, a roller-skating weapon-toting chick named Kitten Kaboodle, a gang of tattooed babies, and there’s still that enormous beach monster…
And what you have is MONDO, in all its raging glory!
After finishing their critically acclaimed miniseries The Red Wing for Image Comics, Jonathan Hickman and Nick Pitarra are working together once more on a new series – The Manhattan Projects.
It didn’t take long for the guys at bryanharley on Youtube to create a sweded version of the highly anticipated The Dark Knight Rises trailer. Their ultra low budget version is a scene-by-scene recreation of the officially released movie trailer, just like they did back in October with The Avengers trailer.
They do such a wonderful job in recreating the trailers that I look forward to their sweded version as much as I do the originals.
Daredevil was relaunched to critical acclaim this earlier this year by the team of Mark Waid and Paolo Rivera. While Waid steered away from the darker side of Daredevil we’ve been accustomed to reading for many years, he’s managed to stay true to the essence of the character by infusing some levity and fun back into the character.
Along with Waid’s masterful writing, Paolo Rivera has shone on the title. His art is a perfect fit for The Man Without Fear and his covers have been pieces of art that I’d love to have on my walls – especially Daredevil #10.
