Awesome Art Picks: Havok, Wolverine, Zatanna, and More

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

Each week we gather up the coolest comic book art that 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 blogs, websites, and Tumblrs. Some artists even arrange commissions ahead of time through their websites so be sure to check them out.

Ryan Ottley posted some warm-up sketches on his Tumblr this week.

Another great week. And for those interested I have posted my deviantArt picks as well. Included are some great blank covers from Stanley "Artgerm" Lau, and an awesome TMNT spread by Jimbo Salgado.

Brett Booth's Captain America sketch is probably the best I've ever seen of the character. Dustin Nguyen's Nightwing and Tim Drake were great too. I also really liked Marcio Takara's Zatanna.

Sean Murphy's Supermen is by far my favorite though. I'm a little biased, because Sean Murphy's my favorite artist, but eh...what are you gonna do?
