Snarked Covers catch up...

Here's the rest of the Snarked covers that I colored for Boom! (issues 8-12). I had a real blast coloring Roger's covers for this series, and I'm sorry it's not going on anymore.

MW

ECCC... C?

Too many C's? Maybe. Well, Emerald City Comic Con is coming up. Will I be there? Nope. But Boom! is doing some ECCC exclusive covers and I colored 2 of them.

One for Roger Langridge's Snarked...

And one for Adventure Time Drawn by Chris Samnee!...

Snarked update...

I've been coloring the covers for Roger Langridge's book Snarked over at Boom! Studios and I haven't been very good about posting them here. So, here's an update with the covers for issues 3-7...

MW

Snarked covers...

I'm coloring the covers for Snarked, a Roger Langridge book over at Boom! Studios kids line, Kaboom!. Here's the multiple covers for issue 1 and the cover for issue 2...

This image was split into two covers for issue 1...

This is cover C, and it was drawn by Chris Samnee! It's modeled after a Thor: The Mighty Avenger cover...

This is the cover for issue #2...

MW

Snarked covers...

I'm coloring the covers for Roger Langridge's Snarked for Boom! I've seen the cover for issue #0 posted around the web (and it's been a really crappy jpeg :/), so I thought I'd post a decent looking version here.

Enjoy...

Where will you be on Free Comic Book Day? Here's where I'll be...

May 7th is Free Comic Book Day. Did you know that? If you're going to be in the Charlotte area that weekend, you should come by the comic shop, Heroes Aren't Hard to Find because they're going to have a whole mess of comics creators at the shop all day (including me!). Check out the full list here.

One of the free comics on offer from Marvel, is Captain America/Thor: The Mighty Fighting Avengers written by Roger Langridge, drawn by Chris Samnee, and colored by me. Check the preview out here. So, come by and pick up an issue, and if you want, I'll even deface it with my signature!

2010 and Thor TMA...

Hope everyone's enjoying the first few days of 2011. I am finding it incredibly hard to get motivated with work.

A lot of "Best Of" lists for comics in 2010 are out, and Thor TMA sure got a lot of love.

Comics Alliance has it at #8 in it's top 10...

Roger Langride, Chris Samnee, Matt Wilson and Rus Wooton have collaborated to create a rare gem of a comic, and in their own way managed to subvert the contemporary definition of quality in the superhero genre.

It's also #8 in CBR's top 100...

The best introduction to the character since Walt Simonson's run almost three decades ago, Roger Langridge and Chris Samnee turned out to be an ideal match in terms of tone, charm and making this kind of superhero book look easy.

Graeme McMillan from the Robot6 blog has it at 7 in his top 10 and the book is mentioned numerous times by creators as a favorite book in Looking forward, looking back: Creators weigh in on comics in 2010 and 2011 also at Robot6.

George Marston over at Newsarama gave Thor TMA his Gold Medal...

My gold medal this year belongs to the unsung masterpiece of modern superhero comics that is Thor: The Mighty Avenger. As I write this, there's only one issue left, and a bigger crime against comics there could never be. Everything about this book is perfect.

iFanboy has Thor TMA listed in it's Top 10 Best Things About Comics in 2010 article at the #5 spot...

Clearly there was an audience out there -- not a big one, mind you, but a passionate one -- for a Thor comic that existed free of the shackles of Marvel Universe continuity and that served not to prop up a larger storyline, but to just tell fun, all-ages stories full of charming characters and wonderful art.

As well as a mention in their Best Writers, Artists, and Series of 2010 video podcast...




The book may be on other lists, but these are the few that I've seen. I'm really glad I was a part of such a special book with some great creators. And looking ahead we still have issue #8 coming to stands in January, and the Free Comic Book Day issue in May.

Speaking of issue #8, Robot6 has an exclusive preview. Click here to check that out!

Thor TMA & Free Comic Book Day!

That's right, Marvel is doing a Thor TMA issue for FCBD!

MW

Thor: TMA #7

The next issue of Thor: TMA is out next Wednesday, 12/8. Here's a preview from CBR, and below are the pages without words...

MW

Thor: TMA #6

Even with the news of it's cancellation, Thor: TMA still has 3 issues coming out. Issue #6 comes out this Wednesday (11/24) so go check it out.

Here's CBR's preview, and below are some pages from the book...

MW

It's been a while...

Well, It's been over a week since I returned from NYCC. It was a fun show, and flew by. I didn't have a table, and I just walked around visiting with friends and taking in the sights. Not much new going on in terms of work. Issue 4 of Ultimate Comics Mystery comes out next week, but no previews yet, so stay tuned those pages soon. In the mean time I saw the cover of Thor: The Mighty Avenger #8 on Marvel's site, so I'll post it here...

MW

I'm back (plus Thor #5)

Hey hey! We just got back from Korea and it's back to coloring comics. I'll be finishing up Tho: TMA #5 first and then issue #2 of Wolverine. The next few weeks will be busy with work, and then NYCC will be here before I know it, and I can't wait!

Anyhow, here's a preview of Thor #5 from Robot 6 on CBR. Below is a page from that preview...

MW

Pick of the week!

Hey folks! I haven't been keeping up with posting or any internets-going's-on because I'm in Korea this week, but I'll be back soon! I did work in two Wolverine books that came out last week, Wolverine #1 and Wolverine: Road to Hell. I've got Thor: The Mighty Avenger #4 out this week, and iFanboy.com has it as their pick of the week! So that's pretty cool. :D

Here's the cover, drawn by Chris Samnee and colored by one of my favorite colorists, Christina Strain.

Alright, that's it for me. I'll be back soon with some more work to post!

MW

Want to read the first 5 pages of Thor #4?

Well Marvel has you covered with their fully lettered preview! Click on over to their preview and check out the beginning to issue 4 and the introduction of the Warriors Three into our series.

Thor: The Mighty Avenger #4 preview...

A few days after I've turned in the files Marvel has put out a preview for Thor #4, due out in stores in early September. Here's the CBR preview, and below are some pages...

MW

Thor: The Mighty Avenger #3 preview...

Next week (8/11), Thor, you, your wallet, GO!

Oh, and here's a preview.

MW

Thor vs. Foom!

The cover for Thor: The Mighty Avenger #6 has spread across the internet like a wild fire (or std, take your pick). I'm a day late to the party, but I suppose that's still a fashionable sort of late. This one stumped me for a while. I probably spent more time just looking at it than actually coloring it, but I was pretty happy in the end.

MW

Thor: The Mighty Avenger #2 preview...

Marvel has just released their previews for comics on sale next week, and I'm in two of them. One is Ultimate Comics Mystery #1, which I've already shown some pages of, and the other is Thor: The Mighty Avenger #2. CBR has a preview, and below are a few pages without the text...

MW

Another Thor #1 preview...

I'm pointing this preview out for two reasons. One, it's the first time I've seen the cover with the title on it, and two, it's also using a varriant cover made from an interior page (posted below).

MW

Thor: The Mighty Avenger #1 preview...

Here's the first preview of the upcoming Thor book that I'm doing with Chris Samnee and Roger Langridge.

Here's the pages...
