DARK KNIGHT DETECTIVE by Declan Shalvey

THIS is what I would love to do at DC, if ever given the chance.

DARK KNIGHT DETECIVE; a crime series set in Gotham city. Not a superhero book. It would be a mix of the Batman Animated Series, Year One, Gotham Central, and The Wire. This would be a more street-level book with the emphasis on the Batman solving actual crimes, instead of fighting super-villains all the time.

Someday......

EDIT: Jordie scrapped my crappy font, and replaced it with a much nicer, and pulpier looking title.

THE POWER OF SHAZAM! by Evan Shaner

This is a follow-up to this mock cover, my idea being that after 12 issues of Cap by himself in The Magic of Shazam!, I'd start over with The Power of Shazam! and bring in the rest of the family. The first arc would see them take on the reawakened King Kull and his Army of the Undead.

KAMANDI Search+Destroy by Tom Fowler

About a year ago I realized that the Stooges' song "search and destroy" could have been literally based on KAMANDI from start to finish. So of course what else would I do but plot out a KAMANDI story based on the song? ...From start to finish.

Special thanks to Mr. Mitchyzptlk Gerads for the typographical aid.

EDIT: you can see my process for the above here.

EDIT the second: big thanks also to the KRAZY KIRBY KOLOURING of mr. kyle "go look at dan's omac" latino!

GREEN LANTERN by Ron Salas

I've been in kind of a drawing slump for at least a couple of weeks but I tried really hard to make this halfway decent at least. You decide.

EDIT: Updated with the latest colour job. I also redrew that left arm. It was embarassing me with its awfulness.
In the end I don't think this turned out half bad after all.

SISTERS IN ASS KICKERY by Mr. Hawthorne

I defy you to find one problem these three ladies couldn't solve. No Batmen or Superman needed.

Check out the pencils here.

Best,
Mike

edit:

Okay, I get paid to sit in my chair and color comics every day, and I'm paid well to do it, and I've got more work to do than I can comfortably handle, but sometimes Mr. Hawthorne draws superheroes and I just push everything I'm supposed to be working on to the side for an hour so I can color his stuff for fun. That's how good he is. Why DC doesn't have him chained to a desk churning this stuff out for them daily is a mystery to me. A goddamn MYSTERY.

THE FLASH by Ron Salas

The Flash is one of my favourite characters. As a kid, I used to read the Flash at around the tail end of the Infantino run. The "Trial of Barry Allen" arc, I think. I still remember the issue where the Flash was racing against time to save Fiona Webb, who sealed herself up in a sensory deprivation chamber after being trapped in a rockslide or something... I don't know. I might be making all of this up. Still, I was fascinated by this guy who, at the point I first read about him, had been through a hell of a lot.

I read about him next at around Crisis. In fact, I read the issues where he was already dead first as I couldn't find the issues to fill my run until later. He always seemed to be a guy doing huge and great things, and paying the price for it.

Hm. It's late and I seem to be rambling. I can probably talk about the Flash for hours, though. I'll leave it with this: my favourite Flash story of all time is Mark Waid's "Return of Barry Allen". Not only is it a great superhero adventure story but it also contains everything essential about a great story, period. People interested in the character would do very well to get a copy of that story and read it.

Anyway, that's it.

Mr. Hawthorne requested I post the pencils so here's the original sketch.

SUPERMAN by Francesco Francavilla

(click on the above image for the BIG REVEAL)

Great choice, M!tch! :)
I was planning to do something more "action" oriented like the one below I did a few years back, but gotta work on those monthly funnybooks, you know? So 30 minutes was all I had and went with the above minimalist take.
Hope you guys dig it nevertheless :)

Cheers,
Francesco
