After Marvel Girl, there were five open spaces in Powerful Women #3. So this will start the parade of remaining images in the book. Today we’ve got the Emerald Empress, of the Fatal Five from Legion of Super Heroes. It’s one of my few reclining poses and there’s something about the linework that really pops. Click and embiggen.

Comic-Con is twenty days away and… wait, that can’t be right. Twenty days? Seriously? Adding a June convention really messes you up, I think. Man, that’s not enough time.

It always pays to have new product at the show, so in addition to having Love and Capes #11, I’ll also have Powerful Women #3. I know I thought I had my cover design done, but now I think not. I’m torn between using the Zatanna image and the Marvel Girl image. Zatanna would be my first brunette (previous ones were Poison Ivy and Supergirl) but Marvel Girl would be my first Marvel character. Anyone have any opinions? I’ve got until Monday morning to decide.

If you want to see the Marvel Girl image complete, click the preview and see it embiggened. I think it came out pretty well, actually.

In the midst of finishing Love and Capes #11, and the wacky Harvey Awards announcements (still reeling from that) and everything else, I took on a cover for the Fort Worth Weekly. It featured the mascot of a DFW school, the horny toad, graduating and being faced with a stack of bills. I love doing these covers. They’re so much fun to draw, and always such wacky subjects. They’re a great opportunity to cut loose.

If people are going to compare me to Grant Morrison and have me come out ahead, I may just develop the Shatner-esque ego I’ve been accused of.

Hey, I just finished Love and Capes #11, and you know what that means. It’s time for the Mocha of Victory! Since I swear working on this book is aging me, and because of how fast I needed to get it done, I decided to accompany the mocha with the Golden Age Flash.
