Batman vs Maxx

By now most of you have probably heard the Maxx will return in a new Batman vs Maxx mini series I'm writing and drawing . . .

. . with special thanks to my old pal John Layman, who helped hammer out the plot.

Sorry I missed yesterday's post.

My posts may be somewhat sporadic over the weekend, given the ACE Seattle show I'll be attending.

Maxx Quilts

Broadminded Splash

Confession, i didn't really draw the pants. 

Maxx Page Comparison

On the Left is the original un-printed version of a Maxx page from issue 11.  It's okay, but Maxx gets lost and i wanted the focus more on Maxx, and less on the distracting overly-painted room . . .

. . so in the re-painted the page on the Right, i opted for a less saturated room, and gave Maxx a lighter color pallet to match it.

There's no right or wrong here, but sometimes Less really is More.

Spidey-Hulk Cover

Another cover gig.  Notice how I squished the X-men off to the side so I'd have more room to draw  favorites like the Hulk and Spider-Man.

Weird . . . the things you take for granted.

Outback Creature

Originally intended as a cover, this got used as a Maxx trading card instead.

I usually don't like my own stuff, but I love how lose, abstract and deliberately unfinished this one is.
