Obadiah Omelette recipe

I figure if I’m going to share a recipe with you then I suppose it has to be pop culturally themed, so I’ve gone with comic book themed recipes.
This morning we have the Obadiah Omelette, named after our good friend Obadiah Stane from the Iron Man comics.

Frankly I can’t see how this meal has anything [...]

The Incredible Hulk: OK I’m a true believer

I had no vested interest in the Incredible Hulk movie apart from the fact that I am a comic book fan.   Any comic book movie that is well made and does well only serves to help other comic book movies.   It may simply be showing that the genre and non-icon characters are a [...]

Trinity: a little underwhelming

One of the comic book series that I was really looking forward to was DC’s Trinity series which promised to focus on the DC big three: Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.
How could one go wrong with these heavy hitters?
I don’t read any Superman titles and whilst I’ve been tempted to take a look at it [...]

What I’m reading: Young Avengers - Family Matters

I completely missed this series when it first started, I only knew vaguely about the character Iron Lad, mainly because he appeared to be an alternative version of Iron Man.   Little did I know that there was a very enjoyable series featuring the next generation of heroes.   The Marvel equivalent of the Teen [...]

The Punisher: Warzone are we going to be disappointed?

Take a look at the newly released Punisher: Warzone trailer:

Did the trailer look a little like Hitman to you too?   Garth and I were talking about the trailer and he said straight away that they should call it Hitman 2.   I guess it’s the two guns sequence that they appear to be pushing.
Me [...]

Shellhead pencils - inking went all wrong

Oh well unfortunately this scan is all that’s left of this drawing because I stuffed up inking it.   I wanted to use a light brown pen to do all the actual shadow and I just completely ruined it, the pen was not very good at the same time which is still my fault as [...]

This sums up how I feel about all this

A while ago Marvel comics ‘killed’ Captain America and had him replaced unsurprisingly with his former sidekick Bucky (I think that’s the character, I don’t really read Captain America, I’m an Avengers man and don’t follow his individual story lines really).   Well what is even more unsurprising is that after a while and a [...]

More Iron Man sketchings

I was doing some more experimental sketching with Iron Man (old school Iron Man) and couldn’t resist adding a bit of colour to the drawing above as I liked how it came out and it was rewarding that it was only a five minute quick sketch using that giant pencil (that I love!).
I started off [...]

Iron Man concept sketch

This is a rough sketch that is serving as the first in a bunch of preliminary drawings leading up to an inked poster and a painting that I may or may not sell.
The hand won’t be closed in the final piece but I’m just trying out some stuff, this was done with the giant pencil [...]

Marvel Ruins

Up until two days ago I have never even heard of Marvel Ruins until Rol made reference to it the other day. I really love the What If type stories that have our favourite heroes facing their darkest hours and then everything actually going wrong for them.
This is exactly what Marvel Ruins explores, what [...]
