Goddamn that's an amazing cover. Seriously creepy and well drawn.
I'm not trying to stir the pot again... I'm just curious:
When's the last time we've had a cover with Batman tearing up on it?

I vaguely remember this being a cover, though I can't find the whole thing:
That was pre-Crisis though, so at least thirty years ago.

I'm playing catch up on the full run of The Punisher by Nathan Edmondson. I'm really digging it. It's a very solid title, more on the tame side than the MAX run, but still appropriately gritty. I like Edmondson's take on Frank being the guy who takes care of the trash that is too tough for the cops, but not important or dangerous enough for the capes to worry about. That's the perfect niche for the perfect street level anti-hero.
Damn good art work, too. Anyone else reading this?
Yeah, I'm loving Edmondson's take on Castle. It's a grand action adventure conspiracy story. And I like the idea of him retrofitting his mission to be a bit more heroic. I talk about it all the time.
I fucking love this. Just utterly terrifying. I want to put this on my wall. I Love You, Rafael Albuquerque.

And come on, if you Babs was caught by the Joker at gunpoint, wearing that same outfit, you would probably shed more than a tear.

In the new 52, Babs didn't get crippled, did she? Or did she get crippled, but regained the ability to walk?
SO BOUGHT
Just got my Walking Dead pages and they are glorious. Best $400+ I've ever spent until the next time I spend $400+.

Daaaaaamn.
She was shot and crippled by joker but she got better.
The recent Secret Origins dealt with some of the wheelchair stuff. I thought it was really well done actually.
Take a pic of em! I wanna see

Thanks, can someone link to JC's top 10/11 fav. Batman TAS episodes please?
Yup I'm gonna go to the gym and then buy my 11x17 frames. They're so amazing.

Still one of my favorite Batman stories is written and drawn by Rafael.

Gotcha. Yeah, I kinda wanna read the non-existent story that goes with this cover.

Is that just one issue? I would love to see his Selina. The print he did of her is incredible.

Yeah, just a short story. Not even a full issue.

I know he's back and shit but I still feel the tugs on the heartstrings with almost all of these covers. The boots one is especially hard
She was but it wasn't permanently disabling, she was in the wheelchair for like a year or something

Just like last year, Comixology is giving away a bunch of comics during SXSW.
So far, the free comics are
X files vol 1
Sonic & Megaman: World's Collide vol 1
Unity: 8-bit Adventure
There isn't a hub page like previous years, but you can keep refreshing their tumblr page. Keep in my mind that the redeem codes are only good for 24 hours.
Also, highly recommend the SXSW Submit Bundle. Would recommend it just for Gail Simone's Leaving Megaopolis and Revenger.

So again, thanks to Comics Alliance's Best Art Ever (This Week), I saw another great rendition of Spider-Man... why have I never heard of Rafael Grampa and where did he go? According to Wikipedia, his comic output started ramping up in 2011 and 2012, but then he kinda just disappeared from the industry. His style is for this piece at least is kinda like Quitely meets Pope, and I dig it.
Yeah, not the best BTAS character, and he's used quite a bit actually.
When does this guy get his own Secret Wars book?
If there wasn't already that "Thors" cop comic coming out of Secret Wars, I'd really have liked to have seen a Beta Ray Bill / Throg buddy cop series.

They just used him in Journey Into Mystery. That's all he gets for the next five years.

Can't fucking wait.
I'll get hyped when he becomes parallax again

He did Mesmo Delivery, which is just this incredibly drawn Twilight Zone-esque comic:
Also, he did a story for Batman Black and White #2 that was super awesome artistically, and decent/forgettable story-wise.

One of my favorite books. The ending destroys me. "Will you do me a favor, Peter? Say hello for me....tell Gwen I miss her, too"
Think how much better that Thors book would be if it was about a multiversal collection of Beta Ray Bills policing Battleworld.

Wikipedia is insanely not up to date with comic artist stuff. This is, i think, but yea he's not doing a whole lot lately
Here's an incomplete board. Some of the missing titles have been announced though. I think we're only missing 3 right now. I'm sure an updated board will be put out soon.
Oh and there's this.
Drawn by James Stokoe... *drool*
Ever since 100th Anniversary Special: The Avengers #1, I have wanted to see more of his Beta Ray Bill.
Unfotunately, his drawing speed isn't gonna fly on a monthly release schedule, but a guy can dream, right?

As for Convergence stuff, refer to the back pages of any DC books released that last 2 weeks.

I'm only getting like, three Convergence books.
First I have to see unused Travel Foreman designs for Justice League United, now you're taunting me with thoughts of a Stokoe drawn BRB ongoing. Truly the comics gods hate me and are conspiring against me today.

Remember that time I mentioned a Grant Morrison/Darwyn Cooke Flash run?
Don't hurt my heart, Korupt.

God dammit, now I need to leave the thread so I don't spiral into comics related depression.
Does that list everything?
Here's one for Messi~
Wait, where is this from?
I live Godzilla as much, if not more so, than the next person, but Half Century War is no Beta Ray Bill book.
