Ah, an oldie I forgot to post last year, from the Zorro Kickstarter as reward for the top tier backers (they had their mugs placed in the photo frames after I had finished!). Lines from Sean Gordon Murphy, with colours from me, obvious Days of Future Past homage... obviously!

Feel that. Dropped out of twitter and Facebook altogether on my phone, just desktop to post work and check messages, but I'm in and out, it's too depressing and easy to get sucked in.

I had the pleasure of my first Marvel cover a while back (through DC, so still not officially worked for them on paper). So yeah, got these lines off Sean Gordon Murphy, and went to town. Batman/Deadpool #1 variant cover, due out Novermber 19th!

Yes, that's not Batman, I am aware it's Lobo lol!

Cover colours for the upcoming Battle Beast #6, from Image/Skybound (Invincible spin off series from Kirkman and Ottley). Lines from Sean Gordon Murphy, colours from me.

That was a lot of 'from's'.

This was a lot of fun, loved how this came out.

Coloured this a while back as a personal piece, lines from the ever impeccable Gerardo Zaffino, with an appreciative nod to Mike Spicer for letting me have his flats file as I was being lazy.

We've spent two issues building up the tension and the danger for the Crew of the HMS Thunder Child.

So we are not messing around in issue 3 - it's carnage from the outset as seen here.

We are funded, but don't let that dissuade you from getting board!

Below are some of my favourite pages from Thunder Child 3, 2 & 1, showcasing the magnitude of Kevin Castaniero's art & @simongough2099.bsky.social colors. @matthew-hardy.bsky.social & I have been super lucky

A double page spread showing the HMS Lightning Warrior on fire, as Captain Bava, it's commanding officer barks orders.

A page comprising 4 panels, panel one has Major Makepeace firing a heavy repeater gun from the prow of the HMS Thunder Child are a mArtian off panel. Panel 2 shows that Tripod firing and also being hit by bullets. Panel 3 shows it noticing the major and Panel 4 shows it bearing down on his position.

A 4 panel page, with panel 1 showing a MArtian Tripod striding along the waters as the Thunder CHild is coming into view. Panel 2 shows the awesome power of the Martians Heatray being fired. Panel 3 shows it walking away from the Thunder Child, oblivious of it's position and Panel 4 shows the crew of the Thunder Child in utter shock.
