Awesome Art Picks: X-Men, Jean Grey, Iron Man and More

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

It's almost time for New York Comic Con. Several of the artists whose art you'll see below will be there. That means the possibility of another Mystery Art Challenge.

Each week we gather up the coolest comic art you won't see in comics. These artists often do sketches for commissions and for fun and post them on their blogs, Tumblrs, Twitter pages, etc. It often gives them the chance to draw characters they normally don't get the chance to.

Check out the final version of Peter Nguyen's DC Women. He will have prints available at NYCC and some limited black and white versions. He also posted an X-Men on his Tumblr.
