Awesome Art Picks: The Shadow, Wolverine, Wonder Woman and More

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

Every week we gather up the best comic book art that won't appear in actual comics. The reason they won't is because artists often do sketches for fun or commissions and post them on their websites, blogs and Tumblrs. Some artists even arrange commissions or sell art on their sites so be sure to check them out.

Rod Reis posted this amazing pic of The Shadow on his Tumblr this week.

That Ryan Ottley Superman/Darkseid and Lobo is AWESOME! Its cool that Ryan Ottley has been on Invincible nearly 12 years but its a shame we cant see him do anything else. I would LOVE to see him on something like Superman or Shazam but as long as Invincibles around it doesnt look like hes going anywhere.

Every week I look at the Awesome Art Picks, and every week I marvel at just how spectacular Brett Booth is. Does anyone know why his art looks so bad in Teen Titans, Batman/Superman, and JLA? I really liked his Nightwing and those two Flash covers, though.

These were my ideas for merging Spider-Man and Tred Kord's Blue Beetle. Both designed by Ditko. Including the original Blue Beetle.

Tarkara has most of my favs. Phil's Wonder Woman hit me right in the nostalgia feels though.

LOVE seeing Lady B getting some love.

@akbogert: I just did some snooping on Brett Booths blog and it is her, but it was for a failed TT spinoff project, but I hope she will still appear soon

If, and I hope he never leaves, but if Cliff Chiang has to leave WW I think Takara would be a great artist to put on that book!

Booth is a good artist.

The problem is Rapmund, his colorist.

I love that Cable by Skottie Young. And Agent Dazzler by Joel Gomez is also very nice.

I really like Brett Booth's art, don't know why he gets so much hate.

Slow week for art picks. Nothing bad, just nothing that stands out too much. But considering how much great art we usually get out of this, I'm not complaining.

Agree. If people pay money for it, these are the level of quality they should always be at. So awesome pics should be much better than these.

Every week I'm knocked for a loop with these Rod Reis pieces. The Shadow has a very cool Art Deco feel. I love it.
