It does! Some of the biggest news out of San Diego this year, too– I was there in the panel as they unveiled it. Very exciting stuff.

One of my favorite pieces I’ve done live at a convention– this Magik piece at 11 x 17 inches is right up there among my all-time favorites of my own stuff. It was also the first time I’d ever used Copic markers on a commission before, really– if I remember correctly. The subject matter isn’t something I’m typically known for (I think), but it turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself.

ALSO, BUY my new series SKYWARD #1 today!

Sooooo tired– oh, welcome back! SKRATCHADAY has returned! We arrived back in Atlanta after MegaCon in Orlando late last night (well, almost 3 am, I guess), and it’s been run run run ever since. That said, we’re exhausted, but thrilled to have had a fun show and we want to thank all of you for making it out and showing us such a great time!

On with the sketches!

I’m the guy that, even as a kid, would tell you the Avengers could kick the JLA’s butts any day… and meant it. I was raised on the Marvel Universe, and really dug the Avengers from the get-go. Thanks to my father being a huge comic geek himself, I was lucky enough to read from issue 4 onward, even at the early age of 5 in the 1980s. I couldn’t get enough! Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Wasp & Hank Pym– it was a fun team dynamic, and brilliant creators like John Buscema, Roy Thomas, John Byrne, George Perez on 3 or four runs (my favorite being his with Kurt Busiek), and so many more made the Avengers mythos tons of fun. Even now with the radically different team with Spidey, Wolverine, Luke Cage, Spider-Woman, and Ronin as newer members make it always interesting and fascinating to see change and grow.

CLICK TO EMBIGGEN– Enjoy!

There’s not really a coherent schedule I use for writing these– lately, I’ve been only writing one or two ahead of schedule, and sometimes the very morning these are published. I guess that’s better in some ways– it keeps the material fresh. However, I’m the kind of guy that likes lead time so I don’t need to worry about it. Oh, well. Until Megacon, these are all written the night before. Enjoy!

There will be a return of the popular guest-blogging from my wife Kelly Saturday through Monday for KELLYDAYS , since we’ll be at MEGACON in Orlando, FL! She’s got some fun sketches ready for you guys– I’ve seen ‘em, and they’re so “Kelly”.

On with the sketches!

I know, I know– “Didn’t he just draw Deadpool?” Well, yeah. However, I have a few in the stacks over here and I thought this would be a good time for this one, seeing as how the full trailer for CAPTAIN AMERICA was released yesterday… which is also a comic book movie… which kind of relates to this…

Also, Green Bacon Armor? Meh. Still hoping for the best from the Green Lantern film!

CLICK TO EMBIGGEN– Enjoy!

Author Lan Pitts

Behold, true believers and rama readers! Next weekend is the Emerald City Comic Con, and here we have a sneak peek at one of the exclusive items available.

Drawn by Jeremy Dale and inked by his wife, Kelly, this print re-envisions the cover to Amazing Fantasy #15, the first appearance of Spider-Man, but this time starring Stan Lee and Brian Michael Bendis. Blog@ spoke to Dale about this piece and his experience making it.

“Tim Daniel at Hidden Robot approached me through the Bendisboards recently, wanting to do something special for the appearance of both Stan Lee and Brian Michael Bendis at this year’s Baltimore Comicon. He had a general idea in mind of what he wanted, the whole ‘homage to Amazing Fantasy with the two leads replaced with Lee & Bendis’, but really wanted us to make it our own.”

Dale added “From there, Joe Eisma and I took off and did our own thing (both versions can be seen at here ). I really love how both turned out, and thrilled to be part of the experience– it was a great change of pace from the typical daily work I have, drawing comics in the studio.”

How long was this piece in the works, now? “The initial prompt for the idea came about a month ago– we started and finished work on it a couple days ago. My piece was inked by Kelly Dale and colored by Nate Lovett. Couldn’t ask for an easier team to work with.”

Dale was ecstatic when he learned Bendis loved it. “Yeah, Bendis saw it when it was posted on the Bendisboards (or through Twitter– it happened all at the same time, so I’m not entirely sure) and was really surprised, saying ‘Well done! Totally flattered’ through his Twitter.”

He continued with “This project was really appealing to me in that it captures the fun in comics. I’m really honored to have been a part of it. I’m sure it’ll go over extremely well at the show. It’s definitely one of my favorite projects I’ve worked on so far in my career in comics… mmmmaybe even over G.I. Joe? We’ll see in time, I suppose.”

There is a bit of irony with this print though. “Coincedentally, I won’t even BE at Emerald City– I had originally planned to set up there this year, but when I realized Megacon was the same weekend (a show I’ve been a guest at for years now), I had to back out of ECCC. So swing by MegaCon if you wanna see me at a con that weekend. I’ll be in Artist’s Alley, drawing as fast as I can for the fans.”

You can see more of Jeremy’s art, projects, and even the step-by-step on this print at his site.

It’s been awhile, hasn’t it? Apologies for the massive delays in updating of late. I’ve been swamped in work on some great projects– including my upcoming creator-owned series, Skyward!

Convention season is finally over for us, and now we’re set up in our bunker plotting our plan of attack for cons next year. If you have a favorite, let us know! We’re definitely hitting some new shows next year.
