The Guys of Hot Wheels Battle Force 5

A while back, I did a short post about Hot Wheels: Battle Force 5, the latest CG Hot Wheels series airing in America on Cartoon Network. Now, it's time to actually showcase the guys.

One of the things I like about this show is that there's quite literally a guy for everybody. The all-American Vert, the lithe Asian Zoom, the cocky English guy Stanford, the little and goofy Spinner, and his linebacker-sized brother Sherman. Add to that the fact that their uniforms are a cross between superhero, Power Ranger, and football player and you see why I watch every week.

Most of the pics in this post are screencaps from the show, with the exception of the one above, which is actually a scan I did. I took way too many caps of the show, so in addition to the standard image archive, there is a bonus one with a lot more pics. You'll find links to both at the end of the post.

More GTO

It's time to give Onizuka a more proper post. There is both manga and anime art to be found here. The top scan is a personal scan of my favorite DVD cover.

 

  

  

  

 

The Art of ReBoot

The Art of ReBoot is a collection of sketches, concept art and more from the CG animated series.  It's a nice little hardcover book published by DMF Comics with full-color glossy pages.

For today's post, I'm sharing a single scan each focusing on Bob, Matrix, and Ray Tracer. If you like what you see, then pick up the book from Amazon.com or direct from the publisher.

 

 

X-Treme X-Men

Most of the Marvel stuff I read when I was really into comic books was Ultimate line stuff.  However, I did follow one 616 X-Men title for a bit.  X-Treme X-Men ran for 46 issues and featured artwork by Salvador Larocca. Among the hot guys that spent at least some time on that team:  Bishop, Gambit, Slipstream, Wolverine, Thunderbird, and Beast.

Today's post features a mix of scans from the X-Treme X-Men series.  Some are scans from the issues I own while others come from the net. 

 

  

  

 

The First

The First was a comic book series released back in 2000 from the now-defunct CrossGen Comics.  Although I read other CrossGen comics before this one (most notably Mystic), I was drawn in by the insanely muscular men that populate the series.

Bart Sears did the pencils for this series.  The scans in today's post come from issues 2-5 and they are scans I did myself.  As a side note, if you want to use any scans I did for HFG on your own site, you're welcome to.  Credit isn't needed.
