The She-Hulk is awesome and it's mine. I've already said to Mike that it is the little touches like the ribbons flying out of her hair and the "maybe" that I really like about his style.

Thanks Mike! :thumbs2:

[melike]

no, thank you Jonathan :)
Glad you like it.

I've read the all the Year One comics and the last two Bi-Beast strips may just be the funniest of all! Hilarious stuff! There are all sorts of possibilities for hilarity with Bi-Beast.

[melike]

i just know nothing of the character and i dont normally like using a character im not too familiar with..

[Alex655321]

This one's pretty cool. I like the way Spidey has Ghost Rider's head. :laugh:

[melike]

its a game of Keepy off with the entire Marvel U and Batman (for some reason)chasing Spidey :)
I spent hours doing that ad and got about 10 people visiting the sit eoff it.

I should say most of hese covers are all over the place in terms of size - all my current stuff i try and stick to the same proportions- try to keep things a bit uniform.

[Alex655321]

Great Stuff Mike!
Thanks as always for sharing the pics:thumbs2:

[mwf6171]

Awesome!!!

[rilynil]

It's so great to see so much Year One stuff posted together. Fantastic stuff! :buttrock:

[melike]

Ok..

Heres a cover but not a recreation.

I was asked to do a batman family cover but make up one of my own. this got me thinking how cool it would be to do a whole series of these. You know with thelogo and everything, but it could be Daredevil - th eboy wihtout fear #16 depicting a fight scene in the school cafetria or on the dizzying heights of the schools playground equipment.

You knwo what i mean - i can make silver age covers, i can do modern style - shoudl be awesome!

Anyway i think theres an X-men cover on the way as the first inthe series but heres the Batman family cover that amde me think of it in the first place. The scan doesnt look that hot - its probably the favourite thing ive done so far..

[Underdog07]

Nice stuff. You've done some of my favorite covers!

[JadeGiant]

Mike, your stuff is really top notch - your creativity and talent is very evident bro:thumbs2:

[melike]

Thanks guys.. shucks

Most of the covers were comissions - i just draw what they tells me ;) Thats why the new idea is fun - cos i get to put my own slant in there.

JG - i like what you did with that avatar too - look sgreat.

Speaking of which - i probably should do one for myself..

That Batman Family Year One cover is so cool! I love the old-school logo and Comics Code stuff at the top. And I agree with Rogue: the pretty pony bit is hilarious! I like the "pull my finger" bit, too :)
