Just got back from a meeting about badge design for CONvergence, the science fiction convention I’ve been contributing to since 1998. I’ve drawn a ton of badges for CONvergence over the years, from different registration badges to custom badge art for our Guests of Honor. You can check some of them out in my gallery. Just click on the image below.

I’ve done something of a commentary on the current issue of my Young Justice series for Worlds Finest Online. It shares my thoughts on the art for the issue in the form of a page-by-page breakdown, and provides some samples the artwork in pencil form.

I did something similar for the previous issue which you can find here. Going forward I’ll be doing these commentaries directly for this blog, but I’m sure I’ll be finding something to do for World’s Finest. Before next month I’ll be putting commentaries for my first two Young Justice issues on here as well, so we’ll have my whole run on the series covered!
Well this cast should make a lot of people happy. I wonder if the change in the JLA lineup is purely creative or has to do with the availability of the characters. I know there’s currently a Plastic Man animated series in development, which *might* preclude the use of the character in other animation projects at the moment. But I’m not aware of any current issues with Aquaman.

JLA: Doom
Last week it was announced that the next feature-length animated DC Universe film would be titled Justice League: Doom and would debut its trailer at the upcoming New York Comic-Con. Today, TV Guide has a update and a look at the voice cast.
Doom will be based on Mark Waid’s “Tower of Babel,” a story that ran in JLA #43-46 and that featured Ra’s al Ghul stealing Batman’s secret files that explain how to defeat each member of the Justice League. Not only does the team have to contend with the onslaught of specially-focused attacks but also the betrayal of their teammate and friend.
Kevin Conroy will return as Batman, Tim Daly as Superman, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, Michael Rosenbaum as the Flash, Carl Lumbly as the Martian Manhunter, Susan Eisenberg as Wonder Woman and, new to the role, Bumper Robinson as Cyborg. Cyborg did not originally appear in the comic book version of the tale and appears to replace Aquaman and Plastic Man for the animated version.
I love October. My birthday is in October, and I like to consider the whole month a lead-up to Halloween, my favorite holiday. I even love the weather. If only it weren’t tainted by the knowledge that winter is coming…
Dr. Hill from Re-Animator
My last blog post included artwork from an Ironman story I did for Marvel a few years back that was “shot from pencils” – the pencil art was colored directly without being inked. You can poke through the gallery and look at pages in both forms, but I thought I’d share this side-by-side comparison for those who find that kind of thing interesting…
