Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is a video game where you get to play as four different versions of Spider-Man: Amazing, Ultimate, Noir, and 2099. Today's post features various artwork from this game direct from the official website's fansite kit.

Apart from the various different versions of Spider-Man, there is also some art of other characters including Kraven the Hunter and good ole Deadpool. I only wish there was some artwork of what each of the Spider-Mans look like unmasked. The game is out now for every major system.

Ka-Zar

I like Deadpool and usually he's drawn pretty nicely. However, in the first issue of the new series Deadpool: Merc With A Mouth, it was the guest appearance by Ka-Zar that got my attention.  Bong Dazo does the pencils in the scans below, which also includes a nice variant cover of Wade himself.

 

  

 

Video Game Week Finale: Misfits #6

Video Game Week comes to a close with a special Misfits post.  A Misfits post usually contains pics that could not support a full post by themselves.  This time around, all the pics are from video games.

First up is the main character of the upcoming Wii shooter The Conduit:

 

Next are three pics of two hot guys from the upcoming MMO APB, which allows you to play as either a criminal or a cop.

 

  

Kratos (who we just saw in the Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny post) will be returning to his own series in the upcoming God of War III.  Hopefully, there will be a ton more art of him to follow the pic below:

  

The following pic of Deadpool was labeled as concept art from Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2.  I'm really not sure if it is or not.

The Nintendo DS has an installment of the Tales series called Tales of Hearts that had an interesting release in Japan.  You could buy the game in two different versions.  One version had anime cinematics while the other had CG cinematics.  See what version you prefer in the pics of two male characters below:

 

  

Batman is looking pretty good in the highly anticipated Batman: Arkham Asylum as seen in these pics:

 

  

The following artwork is from a Conan The Barbarian video game, although I've forgotten which one.

This is the only artwork I could find of this guy from Saint's Row 2.  If anyone has more art of the buff, shirtless guy in this picture, I'd love to see it.

 

I like the style of the sequel Army of Two: The 40th Day.  I just wish I could see more of the guys again.

 

  

Finally, I somehow missed these four male characters from Virtua Fighter 5 completely when I originally featured the game.

  

I hope you enjoyed this special week of posts.  Things go back to normal on Monday.

Artist Spotlight: Marco Checchetto

 Today's Artist Spotlight was initially not going to be an Artist Spotlight post.  I was going to do a post featuring artwork from the comic series Squadron Supreme.

The latest volume of that series is where I first saw artwork by Marco Checchetto.  As I was doing the Squadron Supreme post, I found some other artwork that I liked and decided to turn it into an Artist Spotlight instead.

Checchetto hails from Italy and has been doing professional artwork since 2002.  In addition to Squadron Supreme, he has other projects including an Italian version of Spider-Man.

You can see more of his art at V.O.C. Studio.

 

  

  

 

Weapon X: First Class

I liked the cover art for the Weapon X: First Class miniseries, so it was really nice that Marvel included textless versions of the three covers at the end of the final issue.  Below you'll find the three covers, all featuring pencils by Michael Ryan and featuring Wolverine with Sabretooth, Deadpool, and Gambit respectively.
