Marvel comics for June 2012: I really like this cover to Avengers Vs X-Men #5, drawn by Jim Cheung. There’s something hypnotically beautiful about it, which is impressive for a comic about superheroes hitting each other.
Marvel comics for May 2012: my monthly look at the pretty covers from the solicitations. First up is the cover to Avengers Vs X-Men #4, drawn by Jim Cheung. Cheung is fantastic at drawing great covers with lots of characters on them in a clear manner that delineates all of them distinctly.
This is the cover to issue #1 of Avengers Vs The X-Men, drawn by Jim Cheung. He is one of the best artists for drawing lots of characters on a cover.
Marvel comics for January 2012: a small selection of covers from the Marvel solicitations, after posting a lot of the images when they first came out after New York Comic Con. This is the cover to Avengers: Children’s Crusade #9, drawn by Jim Cheung. What I particularly like about Cheung is his ability to fill a cover with lots of characters but in a clear and interesting fashion.
Avengers: The Children’s Crusade #7 (of 9)
It’s about time I posted some art by Jim Cheung. This is some very nice interior artwork from the mini-series.
Marvel comics for September 2010: this is the cover for issue 2 of Avengers: The Children’s Crusade by Jim Cheung, who also provides interior art. I love the slick style of Cheung, and this cover works for me on the level of craft and design.
Another ‘Just because’ image today: I had an urge for some Jim Cheung art. Here in the UK, Free Comic Book Day isn’t a big deal, so I didn’t get the Marvel book with lots of Cheung art, so I decided to have a Jim Cheung cover (I think, I’m not sure where it’s from) to rectify that.
Something different: a sketch by Jim Cheung, seemingly his take on a scene from Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns. I usually look for covers for images, because they tend to be high resolution and because they are supposed to be striking visuals designed to grab your attention, but I’ve no objection to sketches either, especially of such great line work.
I’m not sure about the book itself, but this variant cover to Mark Millar’s 1985 by Jim Cheung is purty …
