New Nexus is an immersive afropunk comic book world from the immense imagination of Bashir Hamid! Take a look around and get lost in this incredible world via newnexuscomic.com. #drawingwhileblack

Boy, I could watch Michael and Laura Allred draw just about anything, but the quirky fun and big imagination of Gerard Way’s Doom Patrol is just a perfect fit. This issue is legitimately funny with an undercurrent of personal drama drawn from continuity. #DCRebirthEraChallenge

Cheers to Leo, an enterprising artist attempting to make a difference through their hard work. Take a look and throw some support to @leosartaesthetic.bsky.social. #drawingwhileblack

Wonder Man No. 8 is a surprisingly deep comic for an early 90s Operation: Galactic Storm tie-in. The political allegories are some of the strongest stuff I’ve seen thus far. However, if that’s a bit heavy, the very super hero pathos of Simon and Vision hit the mark. #MarvelBookshelf

Kemi Oloyede is on a mission to uplift their community through art, creating highly enjoyable and creative work along the way. See their efforts at www.kxmolo.com! #drawingwhileblack

The existence of JSA Kingdom Come Special: Superman, a prequel and sequel to the seminal original written as well as drawn by Alex Ross as recently as 2008, feels like a historical anomaly. Like most of this run, it’s quite good, as Ross feels too strongly about this character to play games. #JSAtoZ

Wanda Maximoff obviously has massive character potential, but has been haunted by story choices stretching back decades. I like that Steve Orlando’s take on Scarlet Witch mostly steers around the obstacles without discarding them entirely. #ModernMarvel

Say hello to skilled young graphic designer Amina and enjoy her colorful art with the good vibes it brings! See more by visiting @defsiarte.bsky.social! #drawingwhileblack

Joker’s Last Laugh is about as simple a gimmick as you can get for a crossover, but there’s also some high concept running underneath. The first issue looking at what happens what DC’s deadliest villain has his days numbered is well done. #DCBookshelf

AR Moore has the ability to distil their artistic excellence across multiple styles. I’m impressed by the varied and emotive output visible over at @inkwellartz.bsky.social! #drawingwhileblack

Jae Lee’s versatile art with truly haunting colors from Jose Villarrubia continue to underline the surreal paranoia and emotion Paul Jenkins is impressively injecting into The Sentry. A Fantastic Four guest shot in issue No. 2 really raises the stakes and stretches the premise. #MarvelBookshelf

Gabriella Barouch is an acclaimed and accomplished illustrator and designer. Her work demonstrates poise and tremendous attention to detail. Prepare to be impressed at gabriellabarouch.com. #drawingwhileblack

At the point I’m at in New Super-Man, it’s tough to conceive of a voice other than Gene Luen Yang’s to guide the character and his world, but Mariko Tamaki steps in perfectly for issue No. 19. #DCRebirthEraChallenge

Illustrator Mike Anim produces high quality work featuring established properties, but his original ideas are truly impressive. Take a look at bio.link/mikeanim! #drawingwhileblack

I’ve never had much use for Wendell Vaughn, and the Mark Gruenwald-penned Quasar installments of Operation: Galactic Storm do little to shake that stance. It’s neat seeing the Imperial Guard and Binary here, but while Rurik Tyler’s pencils are fine, I miss that Greg Capullo energy. #MarvelBookshelf

Joshua Leonard is constantly crushing a variety of projects and impressing with his incredible input. I love checking in on him and you can do the same at www.joshualeonardart.com! #drawingwhileblack

Justice Society of America No. 20 breaks from the Gog story for a moment to resolve Power Girl’s multiverse adventure and balances the bonkers continuity of DC with genuine emotional beats. It’s also really fun vacillating between art from Dale Eaglesham and Jerry Ordway. #JSAtoZ

Get inside the artistic process of Tarik El and appreciate the effort behind their work. Check it out at www.tarik-panel.com. #drawingwhileblack

Phil Urich’s evolution as a bad guy was always hit or miss back in the day, but I like what Alex Paknadel is trying to do with hierarchy and invention in Red Goblin. That also encompasses the fact that Normie Osborn is incredibly compelling as a protagonist. #ModernMarvel

Traverse the vast fantasy worlds imagined and brought to life by the great Aaron Radney. Get started at @aaronradney.bsky.social! #drawingwhileblack

I don’t know how you could read Action Comics No. 840, or indeed all of Up, Up and Away and not be excited for Kurt Busiek and Geoff Johns to the new stewards of Superman. They have such clarity and confidence for the character and his world. #DCBookshelf

Dominique Harness, who also goes by Sethunya, uses simple shapes and warm colors to create striking scenes. Look at more of her wonderful art via @sethunya95.bsky.social. #drawingwhileblack

It’s the skillful and versatile effort on art from the great Jae Lee that strikes me most in the first issue of The Sentry. Not only is everything moody and atmospheric with the help of Jose Villarrubia’s wonderful colors, Lee stretches his style for the flashback sequences. #MarvelBookshelf

Kaitlin June Edwards creates beautiful art with vivid colors, and she can turn it into a tattoo as well! Lots of great work to enjoy over at linktr.ee/Kaitlinjune. #drawingwhileblack

New Super-Man No. 18 is in many ways the culmination of what the series has built to and a celebration of the arc Kenan has undergone. It’s very satisfying. Gene Luen Yang has been so great in his work on this series and I hope his additions to the DCU don’t go to waste. #DCRebirthEraChallenge

Smallville hot take: Pete Ross gets taken advantage of

Smallville hot take: Lionel Luthor is pretty great

Smallville hot take: I don’t care for Jonathan Kent

Children’s book illustrator and graphic artist NaShanta Fletcher can draw, knight and do it all! She’s got a lot of cool projects happening, so keep up to date at @nashsketches.bsky.social! #drawingwhileblack

The dialogue from Roy and Dann Thomas is much better suited for the oddballs cast of Avengers West Coast No. 81 than the big guns. Their blowhard U.S.Agent in particular is a delight. I’ve heard good things about artist Dave Ross and he shows his capabilities here. #MarvelBookshelf

The massively talented and incredibly successful J’Aaron Merchant is always making big waves in animation and beyond. Enter her world and enjoy the amazing art via @jaaronmerchant.bsky.social! #drawingwhileblack

Justice Society of America No. 19 amps up the internal strife among the JSA and it’s here that having such a large, diverse cast really starts to pay dividends. Dale Eaglesham is working overtime with so many characters and tons of action, but he makes it look effortless. #JSAtoZ

Ramo has a wide array of skills from animation to 3D modeling and illustration. I’m so impressed by their hustle and hard work. Check them out at lemont1995.wixsite.com/ramotriestod...! #drawingwhileblack

Moon Knight No. 25 earns every bit of its towering 81 pages with Jed MacKay celebrating the tremendous work he’s done on this book and continuing to build a vast mythology. Alessandro Cappucio’s art on the primary sequence is beautiful. #ModernMarvel

Looking for a vast gallery of incredible X-Men art featuring your favorite mutants in vivid detail? Search no further than the great Harvey Cahn! Check out www.deviantart.com/cahnartist. #drawingwhileblack

Superman No. 653 is about not just the Man of Steel but contrasting Lex Luthor against his foe, something you know Kurt Busiek and Geoff Johns had to relish given their affinity for strong antagonists. Pete Woods and Brad Anderson create a beautiful backdrop for all the action. #DCBookshelf

Vivian Jones applies her artistic skills to a range of projects stretching from depictions of real life figures with a unique lens to promotional pieces amplifying important causes. See her work at www.vivijon.com! #drawingwhileblack

Untold Tales of Spider-Man No. 25 is a bittersweet finale as the book goes out still very much on top but leaves you wanting more in regard to Kurt Busiek exploring Peter Parker’s fertile college years. It’s a shame not to see Pat Olliffe get to close out the series. #UntoldSpidey

Paul D. Kellam is super skilled and very versatile when it comes to his art. Take a journey into his world and enjoy at @deericku.bsky.social. #drawingwhileblack

Kong Kenan and the Justice League of China are great on their own, but extra neat interacting with their traditional counterparts, which Gene Luen Yang has a ton of fun with in New Super-Man No. 17. #DCRebirthEraChallenge

Greg Jones Jr.’s art packs a punch and ranges from silly to superb, cartoony to capturing stark reality. You can experience his range and see cute Pokémon at www.inprnt.com/gallery/greg...! #drawingwhileblack

Given how long he wrote Captain America, it’s a little surprising how stilted Mark Gruenwald’s take on Steve Rogers feels, but I guess that is an intrinsic part of the character. I’m more compelled by the Cap/Iron Man infighting versus the bland 90s rogues gallery of morts. #MarvelBookshelf

Kid lit illustrator extraordinaire Melquea is hard at work producing top notch adorable art. Check out her portfolio and upcoming projects at www.prettykittypaintings.com! #drawingwhileblack

One World, Under Gog is getting to the point I remember it dragging a little bit, but, to the credit of Geoff Johns and Alex Ross, they’re playing up the internal JSA ethical conflict to keep things interesting, albeit a little slowly. #JSAtoZ

Ariel Brinkley brings skill to her art, but also heart and a certain whimsy. Her work makes me smile, so I thought I would share it with you. Check out arielbrinkley.carrd.co! #drawingwhileblack

Miles Morales has been a tremendous beneficiary of some wonderful creative stewards within and beyond comics over his relatively short life, but I truly think Cody Ziglar, Federico Vicentini and Bryan Valenza are up there among the best. #ModernMarvel

Look at the latest work from excellent illustrator Jordan Coffer. You’re not going to find more polished efforts anywhere. See more at @southpauzart.bsky.social! #drawingwhileblack

Renato Guedes’ work on the art of Action Comics No. 839 from pencils all the way to colors is spectacular. The story from Kurt Busiek and Geoff Johns is a thoughtful meditation on the power of Superman and what it takes to be the Man of Steel. #DCBookshelf
