Awesome Art Picks: Gambit, X-23, Batman and More

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

Each week we gather up the greatest comic book art that you will never actually see in comics. The reason you won't is because artists often do sketches for fun or commissions and post them on their blogs, Tumblrs and websites. Some artists even arrange commissions through their sites so be sure to check them out.

Chris Samnee posted a few more new sketches on his blog. He's also selling some small "doodles" beginning December 14 at 9 am Central.

Skottie Young + minions = epic win.

The MJ and Pete piece is very heartwarming.

I've loved Chris Samnee's art ever since I read Thor: The Mighty Avenger. It's more cartoony and he makes characters all his own with a unique style.

This one from Mike McKone is my favorite of the lot, though:

My god, I love pretty much everything Scottie Young ever does! And I always appreciate any Battle of the Planets fan art :)

Also, seeing Deadman in that Tom Raney sketch reminded me of a cool "realistic" Deadman picture I saw yesterday. What do you guys think?:

Yeah that's definitely "DC Movie Universe" quality, right there! And was that Dazzler under Luke Cage? If so, I love that new costume!

I see a lot that I like this week. Yidray Cinrar's drawing of Barbara is definitely my favorite. Followed by The Punisher as Captain America -- kind of a horrifying thought, but creative. McKone and Samee and Takara were Great. Harley vs Laura is a fight I'd like to see. Loved Todd Nuack's X - Men. Raney's sketch was excellent. I'd love to read something drawn by Gomez. And Minion Christmas Tree, nuff said.

It's Nightwing. Peter Nguyen drew her with an escrisma stick. This proves the rumors correct. Nightwing is gonna lose his identity or die.

i swear if Harper Row is Dick Grayson replacement i will lose all hope for DC, its just not right. What gives her the right to take Dick's spot? yeah i'll get drilled by people who say "change is good," but at what point do ask if the change is actually worth it. I guess that's what we get when complain about her being Robin.

Again, we still don't know if she is Nightwing. But if she is, as to what gives her the right, we don't know yet. Remember, her first issue will be taking place in the near future, so we may not learn what gives her the right yet if she is Nightwing. We just have to wait and see how she does in Batman #28 and then see how it comes to be in the later months.

That Flash is the best work I've ever seen from Brett Booth, amazing.

Todd Nauck gets my vote just for drawing Princess from Battle of the Planets ( G Force).

These are all really nice, but I think my favorite has to be that Brett Booth Flash sketch.

Question: Is that second sketch by Phillip Tan the Iron Man foe/ally Guardsman?
