Awesome Art Picks: Batman, X-Men, Nova, and More

The coolest comic book art you won't see in comics.

Each week we gather up the coolest comic book art you won't see in actual comics. The reason you won't is because artists often draw sketches for fun or commissions and post them on their websites, Tumblrs or blogs. Some artists even arrange commissions through their sites so be sure to check them out.

Yildiray Cinar posted some new sketches on his Instagram page.

Dustin Nguyen posted a few sketch designs on his Tumblr this week. He mentioned how he redesigned the Spoiler costume and originally wanted the well in there but it didn't quite work. He also posted some Harper Row studies and his sketches for the upcoming LI'L GOTHAM figures. The last is because he wants Nick Wechsler to play Daredevil

The only reason I wish I had more money is to buy and frame comic book art. Some of these are definitely amazing!

Marcio Takara! I love you for drawing Yoko from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann! One of the greatest animes of all time. "Do the impossible, see the invisible, Ro! Ro! Fight the power!" "Your drill is the one that will pierce the heavens!" "Who the hell do you think I am?" "Don't believe in the me that believes in you, believe in the you that believes in you!" "Make the impossible, possible, that's the team Dai-Gurren way!"

Goddamn, that show is so awesome.

All the pics were amazing. Why does Asrar's red head with the goggles have camel toe? Kind of off putting on a rather beautiful piece of art.

These are fantastic every week, but I can't look at them anymore. The sketches just make me want some original art I can't afford that much more.

I really like a lot of this art, Ray-Anthony Height's Nova and Peter Nguyen's X-men art are my favorites among these. Although Ryan Stegman's Joker is really creepy(but it is cool).

couldnt DC have just used a retcon to rename Harper Row to Stephanie Brown? The last thing the bat-family needs is to have more characters associated with him. & its NOT like its going to help these new characters get a higher profile. In a year, Harper will be Batgirl. The next event will have her going "back to basics" in her costume. Then she'll be removed from existance once the new52 ends & the real continuity is restored.

Very impressive selection of art. The stand-outs are Supes and Bats by R. Reis as well as the great work by M. Asrar ( as usual!) and Clay Mann's 80's Mohawk punk Storm. Just to add, the African safari background Mann added for the Storm piece was a great touch.
