More Anita Blake

It's time once again to feature some artwork from the comics based on Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series of novels. The comics continue to provide a good amount of male eye candy courtesy of cover artist Brett Booth and interior artist Ron Lim.

Below you'll find scans from The Laughing Corpse: The Executioner #5 as well as Circus of The Damned: The Charmer issues #2 and #3.

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.

Anita Blake: Guilty Pleasures

In the post which featured artwork from the Anita Blake comic series The Laughing Corpse: Necromancer, a commenter mentioned that they liked the artwork from the previous series artist.  That artist is Brett Booth, whose artwork was featured in a Thundercats comic post. 

After checking out Booth's work on Anita Blake: Guilty Pleasures, the first Anita Blake comic series, I definitely like what I see. Even though he is no longer the artist on this series, I'd love to see him come back for some covers, pinups, or something like that.

Below, you'll find some more artwork from the series.  Also, I have created a special archive with only the textless art, including a larger version of the picture at the top of the post.

The Vampire From The Extraordinarily Named Comic

Today's post offers a bit of a contrast to the hot anime/manga vampires of Vampire Knight.  The comic series Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake: The Laughing Corpse - Necromancer has a hot vampire with a refreshingly old-school flair.  What do I mean by that?  Well, he has long hair, an aristocratic look, and wears one of those open-chested shirts that you only see on the cover of a historical romance novel. 

If the character looks familiar, it may be because I first posted a pic of Jean-Claude (that's his name) in the fifth Misfits post.  Below, you'll find more pics from issues 2 and 3 of the comic, which features artwork by Ron Lim.

 

  

 

Misfits #5

Whenever I have a pileup of miscellaneous pics to potentially post, it means I have to do another Misfits post.  Misfits are the pics that don't necessarily deserve a post of their own.  These pics are usually either single pictures from something or extra pictures from something I've already posted about.  They also include pics with unknown sources.

Speaking of unknown sources, I don't know where this picture of Cyclops from (Ultimate?) X-Men came from.  Is it video game art?  Trading card art?  All I know is that he's quite hot here.

 

There is an anime for every sport as these lycra-wearing cyclists of the show Over Drive prove.

Ron Lim and Joel Seguin did this cover for the first issue of the extraordinarily named Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blade: The Laughing Corpse - Necromancer.

 

Here's one of those stitched screencaps (not made by me) of the lead character of One Outs, another sports anime.

  

Jay from Shirtless Superheroes commented on my Macross Frontier post wondering if the two guys were a couple.  I don't think they are, but pics like the one below certainly want you to believe that they're together.

 

Here's a really nice closeup of Dark Schneider from Bastard!, one of my favorite manga guys:

 

Next up is a pic of Racer X from the comic book miniseries of the same name.  Jo Chen did the pencils for this, one of her earliest American works.

 

I like the tight jeans on the guy in this pic from the upcoming anime Gundam Unicorn.

 

Should I be ashamed of myself that I really like this guy from Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds?

 

There's just about nothing left to imagination in this pic from the manga Harlem Beat wa Yoake Made by Takishima Kazusa.

This next guy is a character from the yaoi game Steal from Spray, the same company that released Gakuen Heaven and Kichiku Megane.

This pic is credited as being from something called Neppu Kairiku Bushi Lord, an anime that was supposed to be made but wasn't when the creator passed away.

 

This guy is the title character of an anime called Kiba, which is currently being released by ADV Films.

Hirotaka Kisaragi, who has been spotlighted here before, did this cover of a doujinshi (fan comic) for what I think is a sentai show.

 

Lastly, here is a pic from the Masters of The Universe comic.  I don't know exactly who did the artwork for it.

This concludes another set of Misfits.  The next set could be sooner rather than later.  Even though this post is pretty long, there are quite a few pics I still didn't use.
