HOT. DAMN. MITCH.

You've really out done yourself on this buddy. I saw the pencils earlier and thought "this is going to pretty good. Now that I've seen the colors I'm just completely blown away buddy.

So cool. I love that you've taken this super-retro character into a new domain - the electric blue and glowing neon of the eighties! Inspired!

Francesco Francavilla said...

WOW!
You have gone totally MATRIX and that, in my language, means KoolFactor at 20 (in a scale from 1 to 10 ;)).
Great angle and kickass expression on his face: I am falling, so what? You are coming with me :)
Thank you so much, Mitch, so happy to see you guys are having so much fun with this guy :)
And thanks for posting the inks too: love'em!

Cheers,
Francesco

Mitch, this looks unbelievable. Once again, great sense of energy in the piece.
I love the black composition and the colours work really well.

Wow, that is beautiful. Great capture of the action. I've never been into comics, at least following them, but have always loved the art. Glad I got turned onto this blog at its beginning from my pals on twitter. Really enjoy your work Mitch!

Thanks so much everyone! I had a ton of fun with this week's topic!

Francesco, your description of the look on his face was spot on. Couldn't have said it better myself.

You're all aces in my book, no matter what Declan says.

Nathan Fairbairn said...
