hey thanks for the compliments on the cover - I was definitely trying to stay simple/graphic with the cover, so that you noticed it from across the room...hopefully it works
Thanks

Thanks for the praise on my Looney Tunes cover. That's an homage to the LeBron 'chalk' commercial btw -- GO CAVS! More great images are in the pipeline, and some really terrific interior work too -- stay tuned!

Joshua Middleton is a genius. Period.

Magog and Booster - it could involve time travel, so why not?

I liked your comments regarding March and Middleton. Middleton is one of my favorites for this reason. I'd like to see him draw some other of my favorite female characters. Huntress for instance.

Also, I enjoyed your extended comments. Thank you for your hard work!

The Absolute Death cover is from Death Gallery #1:

To be fair, Ladronn probably used as reference the Batgirl drawn by Damion Scott, who did most issues of her series and always drew her with GINORMOUS magumbos. Here is an article dealing with that:

That's not Eidolon. That's Jenny Sparks's ex-husband, Lorenzo.

Which Joker story? The only Joker recent story I've read was Batman RIP, and I'm sure that's not the one you are referring to.

It's odd to see Harley with such a dour expression on her face. Her boobies look great, though.

The Madame Xanadu cover looks great. Just like it did the last four or five times Kaluta drew it.

Great seeing Julie on the WHttMoT cover, but where's Perry?

The Unwritten is a terrific picture that will be totally wrecked once the logo and other cover stuff is added. Bad cover. I can't believe you picked it #1. I'd have gone with Booster Gold.

I can’t believe they’re actually revisiting the ABOMINATION OF A Joker storyline from a few issues ago.

I agree.

Yeah... I think it was one of the pin-up books or something; I'll have to check, though.

About that Batman/Killer Croc cover... Why am I convinced that it's an homage? At first I thought it might have been a cover from Alan Moore's Swamp Thing, but I'm not sure...

No, Brian, I'm pretty sure it's a headband.

The Death cover is old… Still great, though.

Thanks!

Where is it from? I couldn't find it among the various Death covers. Was it from a pin-up book or something like that?

Power Girl for #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hellblazer for #2
Madame Xanadu for #3
House of Mystery for #4
Alex Ross's Astro City cover for #5

Comments:

The Ladronn Batgirl must be Power Girl in disguise

Is it me, or is there something wrong with Harley's right breast in that Battle For The Cowl cover??

It looks like she has two extra nipples, just near her armpit...

The best one, I think, is Human Flame cover — he almost looks cool! More accurately, he looks very much like somebody who thinks he's really cool but isn't cool at all. The FC series are all 6 issue minis. I'm actually stoked about Run (it sounds like Irredeemable Ant Man, but with an even bigger jerk.) I don't know anybody who's expressed interest in Ink, and I wouldn't be shocked if that didn't sell at all compared to the other 3.

I've played a fairly significant portion of the Resident Evil series, and I'm pretty sure none of the characters on that cover have ever appeared in a Resident Evil game, and certainly not as a protagonist. Barry Burton in the first game is the closest character I can think of who looked like that, and even then he was a supporting character and his facial hair and hair color were completely different.

Killapalooza seems to have the same idea behind it as Zoolander. That's not to say it's a bad idea, it's just not all that original.
