Have you seen this poster for Zero Dark Thirty?
It was drawn by Jock for @MondoNews. Jock sent it out to his Twitter followers and pointed out that the soldiers coming down the ropes spell out Zero Dark Thirty.
Did you catch that just from looking at the poster? I didn’t, but love that Jock was creative enough to add that extra layer.
Well played, sir.
While I’m not a huge Wonder Woman fan, I did think that this fan-made film trailer was pretty cool. If you do as well, and want to learn more about it click over to CBR.com.

Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd is back! Mike has given us his take on Sly from Nighthawks.
You can see more of Mike’s art at The Daily Sketch with The Krayola Kidd (and if you’ve never checked out Mike’s site, you ought to if only to see his Walking Dead cards!) and his Deviant Art site. Mike is available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable.
I’m a Guy Pearce fan. He may be the most under-rated actor today. Pearce is always good and brings something different to each role.
So, I’m glad to see Guy Pearce is going to be in Iron Man 3. That’s definitely a plus.
Looking at this poster though, the first thing that went through my mind was, if I was casting an updated Miami Vice, I know who would play Sonny Crockett.
Robert Rodriguez recently sent out a couple of on-set photos taken during the filming of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
This one of Josh Brolin playing Dwight, reminds me of how much I’d love Frank Miller to do a new Sin City yarn, and how happy I’ll be when October 4, 2013 rolls around.
Thanks and a tip o’ Rodriguez’s cowboy hat to CBR.com.
This week we have the return of Evan Bryce Cranston with an unexpected addition to my Stallone Sketch Collection. To help celebrate Valentine’s Day and to have some fun for those that follow Evan’s Art Blog, Evan decided to have a random drawing and the winner would receive a specially created piece of art for a Valentine’s Day card.
The random number generator pushed out my number and I ended up winning this awesome Rocky piece. It’s a, uh, knockout!
Check out Evan’s site and say, “Hi.” He’s not only a talented artist but a great guy.
Thanks Evan!
Jerry Gaylord aka The Franchize makes his second, but not his last appearance in my Stallone Sketch Gallery with his take on Sly as Rocky.
I highly recommend Jerry to all sketch collectors. He quickly responds to e-mails, his turnaround time is quick and he packages the art to ensure it arrives safely.
To check out more of Jerry’s art, head here. – Craig
If you like great crime fiction… if you love fantastic art… if you’re of age and not offended by adult language / situations, then click over and check out Gravedigger by Chris Mills and Rick Burchett.
You can thank me later.
Jon Riggle is back with his take on Sly as Rambo. To check out more of Jon’s art, head on over here. – Craig
Do you like this poster for Iron Man 3?
I keep going back and forth about whether I like it or not.
I like the idea of Iron Man being knocked out of the sky. How will he survive? Who did this to him? The painting is cool.
It kind of bugs me that his helmet is gone and that his metal armour is flaking/peeling away. Wouldn’t his face do the same?
Maybe I’m just picking nits.
If you like the poster well enough to want to see a larger version, thanks to IMPAwards, you can.
Chin Music is a new five-issue comic miniseries created by writer, Steve [30 Days of NIght] Niles and artist, Tony [Starman] Harris. Chin Music drops on April 17th in stores and online from Image Comics.
Perhaps best described as hard-boiled horror, Chin Music is the story of a man who at one point possessed all of the mystical powers of the occult and the supernatural, lost them and now works as a private eye.
USAToday ran a profile of the series along with 11 preview pages that you can see here.
I met Robin Holstein for the first time at Heroes Con in 2011. I’d seen a bit of Robin’s art online and so I made sure to swing by his table and meet him. After talking to Robin a bit, I decided to commission a Stallone sketch from him.
Robin came up with this sketch. Upon seeing it, I immediately asked if he had room on his list for another piece — my buddy, LittleJohn312 was with me and he also asked to get on Robin’s list. Lucky for us, Robin was able to fit us both in.
Kyle Baker is an amazing artist who doesn’t do enough work in comics aka graphic novels. Of course I’d say that even if he drew every comic published.
Kyle Baker is THAT good.
Recently Mr. Baker did something that is unheard of. He posted links to every graphic novel he created so that we can read them for free. That’s right, FREE. Which is of course the universal price that we all love the most.
My suggestion is to start with You Are Here. It’s one of my all-time favorite graphic novels. Oh, and before you dive in, make sure that you have plenty of time. My guess is you’ll want to stay a while.
Recently iFanboy picked the art above for their Great Pages feature. The page is identified as …
from The Punisher (Vol. 1) #1 (1986)… written by Steven Grant with art by Mike Zeck.
While that is correct, I wonder why inker, John Beatty was not mentioned?
C’mon, iFanboy!
