More DC Universe Online

It's been nearly a year since the previous post about the (still) upcoming MMORPG DC Universe Online.  The last post contained only line art.  Today's post contains mostly CG character renders.

There's more art of each of the characters that I didn't post, so there is a bonus archive linked at the end of the post. The game is still set to come out sometime this year.

Kyle Rayner: Underwear Model

When I searched for pics of Terry Berg for the All-Request Week 2010 Extra post, I also happened to find plenty of nice pics of Green Lantern Kyle Rayner.

Today's post focuses on the events leading up to Kyle becoming Ion (for the first time). Kyle spends most of issues 144 & 145 of Green Lantern (v. 3) clad in nothing but white briefs. He even fights in them.

Below, you'll find a few scans from those issues featuring pencils by the great Dale Eaglesham.

All-Request Week 2010 Extra: Terry Berg

Today's post is the first of the promised All-Request Week 2010 Extra posts which fulfill leftover requests from the titular week.

The first Extra request comes from Rob who wanted to see Terry Berg from Green Lantern. If you're unfamiliar with the character, Terry was Kyle Rayner's teen assistant and one of the relatively few openly gay characters in superhero comics. However, Terry may be best known for being the victim of a anti-gay beating in Green Lantern (v3) #154.

The pics in today's post come from various issues of Green Lantern (v3) with pencils done by Darryl Banks, Dale Eaglesham, and Andy Smith.

Misfits #8: Comics

I've been slacking off a bit when it comes to comics posts. The last one was back in...January. So, to make up for that, today's post is a Misfits special edition featuring nothing but comic pics.

First up is a great pic of Aquaman by Jesus Saiz from Brave and The Bold #33.

Mon-El strikes a Superman-like figure in this two-page spread by Bernard Chang from Superman #696.

Jean-Claude shows his stuff on the cover of the first issue of the next Anita Blake series by Brett Booth.

Next, here are two scans from Flash: Rebirth #6 by Ethan Van Sciver.

A long while back, someone requested pics of the Marvel hero Speedball (aka Penance). Well, I finally found a decent pic of him in Avengers: The Initiative #33 with art by Jorge Molina.

Mark Bagley, one of my favorite artists after his run on Ultimate Spider-Man, did the pencils for the cover and single interior scan from JLA #41.

I like John Cassaday's cover for The Lone Ranger #20. The guy in the pic is actually The Lone Ranger's friend Tonto.

This post concludes with three scans from Justice League: Rise and Fall Special. The first two spotlight Green Arrow from the front and the back. The third scan seems to be tailor-made for a certain blog. The credits for this comic list three different people for pencils but no page numbers. As such, I don't know who actually did these pages.

This concludes another Misfits post. Another manga/anime heavy Misfits post will be coming up in a couple of weeks. And don't forget...All-Request Week 2010 begins Monday.

Happy Halloween 2009 - Comics

This year for Halloween, I'm posting two different posts to celebrate.  This first post is dedicated to comics and the second one (which will be posted later today) will be dedicated to anime/manga. 

This first post features scans from both the 2008 and 2009 DC Universe Halloween specials. 

From the 2008 special comes two interesting scans involving Superman.  Jimmy Olsen dresses up as Superman at the Daily Planet's Halloween party in the first one.  In the second one, the man himself gives out candy and the kids aren't buying it.  Matthew Clark does the pencils here:

And in the 2009 special, Guy Gardner gathers his fellow Green Lanterns for a Halloween shindig.  I really wish this story was longer because then we'd get more than a glimpse at the wifebeater-wearing Kyle Rayner and the shirtless Hal Jordan.  Mark Bagley did the pencils for these:

Look for the anime/manga Halloween post later today!

Justice League: Cry For Justice

Justice League: Cry For Justice is a new mini-series.  Although the writing isn't exactly the best, the art is great.  Mauro Cascioli does the artwork here, which I think is digital painting.
