And that’s good to hear, Jay. I mean, I haven’t seen Mahmud say anything to make it sound like he was anything BUT fully committed to Dynamo 5, but still, always nice to hear.

By the by, folks, speaking of Immonen, would there be any interest in a separate “Month of Art Stars” thing based on the BIG names, like Immonen, Quitely, Cooke, Williams III, etc.?

Yeah, there’s definitely an Immonen vibe here.

Nice stuff. Good call on the Immonen comparison, 13Wishes. Asrar reminds me of both him and Phil Hester.

Asrar has done great work on Dynamo 5, and continues to do so. What I like best about his work is his sense of character design, how he’s managed to make all the members of the team look completely distinct both in and out of costume. Little touches like Gage’s hood in his costume, or Bridget’s lip ring in civilian clothes, really set him apart.

And Mr. Faerber; kudos on bringing us yet another excellent creator-owned superhero book. Here’s to the continued success of you, Mahmud A Asrar, and all others involved.

It’s great seeing Mahmud get a mention in this series. He certainly deserves it. And while he may take some side projects at other companies now and then, Mahmud remains committed to Dynamo 5. He’s not going anywhere!

He is quite good, indeed.

I’m looking forward to that She-Hulk special. Hopefully, it’ll attract more readers to his work on Dynamo 5, which really deserves a wider audience.

excellent! mahmud’s stuff is great so i was totally geeked to see this post. while i think his Storm and She-Hulk look especially wonderful (he draws She-Hulk just like he draws Scrap! sweet!), i hope mahmud is going to stick with Dynamo 5 for awhile. it’s the SHIZZ!!!

Looks just fine to me…

Nifty.

Tho’ the Elektra’s butt should be a tad bit muscular, eh?
