Issue 1 by Skottie Young and Humberto Ramos came out on March 4th That'll be a four-month gap which should, at least, give folk a chance to get ahead and catch up Anyway, this cover features one of the great breakout characters of the first issue, Doyle Dormammu, one of the many offspring of the[...]

With some lovely looking work from Skottie Young and Humberto Ramos But Bleeding Cool always likes to go one better so here are a few blurry pages from issue 2 already… UPDATE: Apologies, we early attributed the following page to Strange Academy, hence the original Krakoa reference, these are from the new X-Factor instead which,[...]

Strange Academy, by Skottie Young and Humberto Ramos, as a supernatural coming-of-age saga, set at a New Orleans school for teenagers from across the universe who have a variety of mystical powers With all-new student characters under the tutelage of well-known names, including Doctor Strange, the namesake of the school, as well as Brother Doctor[...]

Pip pip!" Why would Rich wake up at 4AM to tell us to write about what appears to be little more than a signup form so that Marvel can market future Skottie Young products to potential customers via spam emails? Did Rich wake up from a dead sleep, fresh from a vivid nightmare about this secret[...]

Let's take a look. SPACE BANDITS #2 (OF 5) CVR D YOUNG (MR) (W) Mark Millar (A) Matteo Scalera (CA) Skottie Young The bandits are locked in a penal colony and looking to bust out While Thena bulks up to compete in the Big Bout and earn her ticket to freedom, Cody puts her cunning mind to work[...]

Middlewest Book One is an epic adventure story from Skottie Young's very vibrant imagination, with jaw-dropping art from Jorge Corona It's a pretty timeless book, populated with epic characters and seriously stunning art. //Credit: Image Comics The lands between the coasts are vast, slow to change, and full of hidden magics The town of Farmington has been[...]

Skottie Young paces out the carnage for most of the book, with most of Abel's adopted family being effected by the fracas. //Credit: Image Comics I really can't say enough about Jorge Corona's art His style is in the same league as Young's, with big, cartoonish characters and an incredibly rich color scheme from Jean-Francois Beaulieu[...]

This week's BC Figure History subject is Spider-Gwen! She has not been around too long, but she has had plenty of figures and collectibles produced.

Skottie Young has taken a side in the schism that's rocked the artistic community, drawing baby feet on his baby X-Men for the Skottie Young Uncanny X-Men #1 variant cover As we've seen with past Uncanny X-Men covers revealed by Marvel, some artists have chosen to take the extra time required to draw feet on[...]

These statues are based on the artwork of Skottie Young, and have been insanely popular with collectors Storm will retail for $64.99 and can be preordered right now here She will be released in spring of 2019 Check out pics and details down below! #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px[...]

This is the 19th statue based on the art of Skottie Young, and for my money one of the cutest look at his little round belly! Like all of the others, this one stands at about under 4 inches and features a detailed sculpt based on Young's popular variant covers He will cost $64.99 Check[...]

Despite dire reports of dangerous hidden magic inside Middlewest, the new comic book by Skottie Young and Jorge Corona, Image comics is pressing ahead with a planned November release anyway and even sent out a preview of the book to media outlets Wednesday morning On the surface, Middlewest may seem like an innocent creator-owned fantasy comic[...]

This is a genuinely good comic. It is a little frustrating that the emotional catharsis of seeing Reed, Sue, Ben, and Johnny reunited is held off for another month, and the Skottie Young strip in the back with the Impossible Man is a little too cute That said, I'm ready This was a good primer for[...]

Skottie Young statues and figures, Wolverine statues, Iron Man gauntlet business card holders…a little bit of everything. Star Wars fans of course are very familiar with what they offer, From busts to statues, Kenner jumbo figures and bookends, there is something for everyone here One new thing that I was giddy over were their vintage figure[...]

Cebulski, Skottie Young, this one was full of laughs and love for comics. Before they took questions, they took the time to illustrate their story and how they got to the positions they've found themselves in It was a long but fascinating tale that played out like the dreams of any kid that grew up before[...]

Ahead of San Diego Comic-Con, Image announced a new series by Skottie Young and Jorge Corona with painted covers by Mike Huddleston, launching in November The book is called Middlewest, and Young describes its influences in a press release: I'm putting so much of myself and my life into this book that sometimes I have to[...]

The Magic Order #1 The Magic Order has a cliched premise, dull characters, and an unearned tendency towards brutality. Olivier Coipel makes it visually stunning, but it doesn't save the comic from this list. I Hate Fairyland #19 cover by Skottie Young 2 I Hate Fairyland #19 This book is set up around one idea: Gertrude hates Fairyland[...]

However, it may involve doing some more things she hates. I Hate Fairyland #19 cover by Skottie Young I read the I Hate Fairyland FCBD Special last year and heavily disliked it for its reliance on meta humor in a market that has far too much bad meta humor I decided to check back on it now,[...]

It's a bit late, but the Top and Bottom 5 Comics of the past week is here (that's June 6th). If you want to know the comics score for last week, read here.

The Marvel Animated statue from Gentle Giant, based on the art of Skottie Young, will be an exclusive at their booth She stands at about three inches tall like the others in the line and will feature our hero drinking a Dead Freeze slurpee The statue will cost you $65, and it actually can be[...]

That said, Skottie Young, Nic Klein, and Scott Hepburn's Deadpool #1 is marginally funnier and not an outright misery-fest, and I will gladly damn with fine praise in this instance. There are some good jokes in this book, and the gags aren't drawn out to fatal lengths Negasonic Teenage Warhead constantly berating Wade shows some self-awareness[...]

CB Cebulski, new editor and chief of Marvel Comics, sat down for a chat with moderator Skottie Young at Marvel's Meet the New Editor-in-Chief panel at C2E2. CB and Skottie discussed the long strange trip of CB getting to know Skottie over the years as well as their origin stories on how they got to be[...]

Image Comics made a brief presentation at the Diamond Retailer Summit, announcing a brand new comic by writer Skottie Young, artist Aaron Conley, colorist Jon Francois Beaulieu, and letterer Nate Piekos The comic is called Bully Wars. No, not like that It's a comic geared toward young adults, about a kid named Rufus who goes from[...]

Hard to believe, but this will be the 16th statue released based off the artwork of Skottie Young and his line of Young Marvel variant covers and artwork This one in particular is based off of his variant for Astonishing Ant-Man #1 other statues in the line have included Thanos, Daredevil, Punisher, and a two[...]

The likes of Skottie Young, David Lafuente, Rob Guillory, Matteo Scalera, Sana Takeda, Paul Azacata, Adi Granov, Sara Pichelli, Phil Noto, Steve McNiven, and Val De Landro were amongst his finds. He rose to the position of Senior Vice President at the comic publisher before being the Marvel Man at Disney in China, where he worked for the past[...]
