Awesome Art Picks: Superman, Doctor Doom, Wonder Woman and More

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

Each week we gather up the best comic book art that you will likely never see in an actual comic. The reason you won't is because artists often draw 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 for more information.

Last weekend was the Long Beach Comic and Horror Con. Peter Nguyen was there and here's a couple sketches he did there and posted on his Tumblr.

And of course there was the Mystery Art Challenge. This will be the last one of the year. Peter Nguyen, Ray-Anthony Height, Brian Buccellato, Derek Fridolfs, Joel Gomez, Sean "Cheeks" Galloway and Todd Nauck all agreed to take on the challenge. They have no prior knowledge of what it will be, only that it will be a familiar character and a random object. Once the camera is rolling, they have to figure out what angle they will give their sketch. The challenge was Doctor Doom...and a puppy.

Here's the video you may have already seen this week:

And here are scans of the sketches:
