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

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

Each week we search high and low for 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 websites, blogs, and Tumblrs. Some artists even arrange commissions through their sites so be sure to check them out.

Chris Samnee did an X-MEN cover for the Hero's Initiative. He also posted some sketches from Wizard World St. Louis and C2E2 on his blog.
