Hey, all you Breaking Bad fans… what to see a very cool Breaking Bad animation? Why, of course you do.
So here is Martin Woutisseth’s Breaking Bad animation. As an added bonus, here’s a link to Martin’s blog.
If, like me, you’re a fan of Francesco Francavilla’s art and stories, you’ll be happy to hear that his character the Black Beetle will premiere in his first mini-series starting in January. It’ll be called No Way Out.
If you just can’t wait until January, this December the three part Black Beetle story, Night Shift, will be collected into a single volume.
Big congrats to Francesco!
Since we were talking about Thomas Boatwright and his art yesterday, I wanted to remind you that he has a new 32 page Bride of Frankenstein sketchbook and that there could be a third Zeke Deadwood comic in our future.
Thomas Boatwright makes an explosive return with Jack Carter!
If you’d like to see more of Thomas Boatwright’s art check out his blog and his DA site. Send him some love.
If you get commissions, you should consider a piece from Thomas. He keeps you totally in the loop on his progress, finishes his commissions on or ahead of schedule, has very reasonable prices, is a fantastic artist and always gives you more than you’re expecting! – Craig
Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd may have done more Jack Carter drawings than anyone else in my collection. Perhaps he enjoys drawing the character as much as I do getting the pieces.
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.
You know I’m diggin’ that Scene of the Crime cover by Michael Lark and Sean Phillips. It’s for a new, over-sized hardcover reprint of the crime/noir graphic story that Lark and Phillips did with writer, Ed Brubaker.
Scene of the Crime will be out on November 14th, but you should let your local comic shop manager know now.
Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd is back and he brought Jack Carter with him – both of them. Mike surprised me with this clever take on “Get Carter” at Heroes Con. Mike outdid himself with this one!
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 big Evan Bryce fan. I’ve been following his work for a several years and we’ve become friends via the internet. Evan recently posted that he was taking on commissions, so if you collect sketches, why not check out his art. If you’re already a fan, now is the time to put in an order for a sketch or three.
I’m a huge Bob Peak fan. Back in the day, I also enjoyed watching Carter Country. So when I came across this Bob Peak TV Guide cover painting, how could I not post it?
I don’t know what prompted the idea of this “Last Supper” Expendables 2 banner, but I sure dig it. Check it out at full size to enjoy the details. – Craig
Phil Hester writes and draws comics for a living. Phil was a guest at MegaCon this year and I hopped to get a sketch from him. As you can see, mission accomplished. What was great was Phil knew exactly what I was looking for and delivered big time. You can follow Phil on Twitter. You’d be crazy not to. – Craig
I really enjoyed Who is Jake Ellis? by Nathan Edmondson (writer), Tonci Zonjic (artist). So you’d probably think that I’m happy that Edmondson and Zonjic are coming back with a sequel (Where is Jake Ellis?), right? Well, if you thought that, you’d be right. I am really looking forward to it.
Read this interview with Nathan Edmondson and you’ll get a feel of what we can expect when Jake Ellis returns.
This week we have Michael Duron and his take on Sly as Jack Carter. Michael is from Florida and I met him at OrlandoCon where he was nice enough to fit me in on his sketch list. You can see more of Michael’s art at his site.
Crime fiction / Howard Chaykin fans, here’s a heads-up: Chaykin’s Marked Man graphic novel [he wrote and did the art for it] that was serialized in Dark Horse Presents is set to return in a hard cover edition. As you can tell from the book’s description, this is not for kids:
“To the casual observer, Mark LaFarge has it going on. He’s got a beautiful wife, cute kids, a McMansion in the South Bay . . .The guy is the living embodiment of the American dream. But nothing is ever as it seems. LaFarge is a career criminal who’s never done an honest day’s work in his life . . . and that life of crime, completely separate from the life he presents to the world, is about to catch up with him. And there will be blood . . . a great deal of blood.”
My pre-order is set to go!
