Entry 263: Avengers #44 and New Avengers #33 Covers

This is my connecting cover image for Avengers #44 and New Avengers #33.

Jonathan Hickman is bringing both these series to an end in these issues and I was asked back to do the final covers. Having started Hickman's Avengers off with my connecting covers for issues 1,2,&3, and having drawn covers for both these series' I found the idea of returning for the last covers to be an appealing idea. Of course, I told them that we had to get Justin Ponsor back for the colors, to really give it that bookend quality.

At first the direction for this cover was really vague. All I knew was that it was these two dudes fighting with the worlds colliding and Captain Universe in the background.

Here's my first take at the idea. This initial image was not right and I knew it from the beginning, but sometimes you have to get the wrong idea out to see what's wrong with it.

Entry 216: AVENGERS 180°

AAAAAAANNNNNDDDD

Here is the whole thing together. The Full 180°

Entry 189: INFINITY #2 is coming!

NO This blog hasn't just become the "Amnia Cycle blog" It hasn't become just the home to one more web-comic you give zero shits about. NO. I'm still doing things you are actually interested in! And one of those things you are interested in--

IS--THE MARVEL INFINITY CROSSOVER EVENT!

How could you not be interested in it? What other crossover events could you possibly be into right now?  NONE! Is the answer.

So, guys, how bout I shut my stinking pie hole for two seconds and make with some preview pages. HUH?

Entry 174: AVENGERS #8 Notes

Avengers #8 is out. I'm sure you all have gotten it and are in the middle of doing your fan recreations of the issue from cover to cover, redrawing everything and rewriting every word as faithfully as possible so as to fully express your love for it...

Isn't that what you guys do with comics that you like?    No?   Well that's what I do.

You guys know about that "Bartkira" project where a bunch of artists are redrawing all of Akira with Simpsons characters? Well, coincidentally, a few years ago I drew "Cailloumu", my recreation of Domu with characters from the Canadian kids show, Caillou. CRAZY Coincidence right?.. (If only you guys knew how lame that would be.)

If you can't tell by the image above, in this post I'm talking about Starbrand! Also I'll be talking a little bit about working with Justin Ponsor.

So get ready and get set...

As usual, Justin Ponsor is killing it on the colors.

I know what you're thinking, "More Avengers covers? Didn't you just do a blog entry that included 3 Avengers covers? And already you have more? What's going on here, Dustin? Is this ALL you draw now? Avengers covers?... I mean, draw something else, man. This whole Avengers cover thing is getting old."

Well guess what-- you're not the boss of me. Okay? You don't tell me what to draw. Marvel does. I am Marvel's dancing monkey NOT YOURS! Okay pal?

Moving on.

Entry 163: Avengers #7

Hi. It's me, Dustin Weaver.

I hope you, the readers of this blog, are having a happy holiday season. As I write this, we're just a few days from it being New Years. So HAPPY NEW YEAR!

You guys got Avengers #1 and #2 didn't you?-- DIDN'T YOU? If you did, then great! You've done well. If you haven't, well how are you going to know what's going on when it gets to issue 7, the first issue drawn by me... You are planning on getting my issues right? Issues 7-9? If you're not, WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING HERE? This blog is only for people who buy my comics. If you have no intention to buy comics that I draw kindly stop reading and leave. Go and don't let the "back" button hit you on the way out. --All right. Now that they are gone-- Guys, here's a preview of issue 7. 

 

 That cover IS a reference to this old ad for Marvel's New Universe back in 1986.

Entry 161: Avengers #4 Cover
