CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRING ON THE BAD GUYS
Here are a few newish photos from the CAPTAIN AMERICA film as I call it.
Above, running alongside some missiles. Below, facing off against some Hydra soldiers, perhaps.

JOHN BYRNE'S NEXT MEN SKETCH VARIANT
I work in a comic book store (plugplugplug:::THE NOSTALGIA NEWSSTAND:::plugplugplug) and so when it was noted that IDW was offering an incentive cover of the first issue of the return of JBNM, I knew I had to have one. In order to get these kinds of "incentive" covers, a store has to order a certain amount of the comic in order to earn it.
Usually incentives are just black and white printings or totally different covers, but the rarer ones are those that have actual sketches by the artist of the book on a blank cover. The amount of issues a store orders to receive them can be gratuitous which is understandable as what artist wants to, in effect, draw 5,000 sketches on a book that they've already completed. So in order to get them, it can be a real draw on the profit margin to order far more than you can reasonably assume to be able to sell.
Also, with sketch covers, you never know the quality of the work you'll be getting (I don't really own any others, but of the ones I've seen, it can vary greatly). It could be some goofy doodle, could be something too small to see--you never know. I was pleased to see this when it arrived last week. Fills up the cover, inked and perhaps not even pencilled headshot of my favorite character from the series.

ETRIGAN THE DEMON
Been meaning to draw this gnarly old coot for a long time. Like most creatures Kirby, he is fun.

LORD GREYSTOKE'S GIRL
I went with the Maureen O'Sullivan look with the Jane that I chose to draw. Scoured the web for pictures of her in the garb and finally the pose came to me at work one day. Sketched it out in blue ballpoint ink on a piece of cardboard, took it home and scanned it in, "inked" it using Photoshop and then drew in the background digitally on my Wacom tablet. And did it all in a few days... whew!
