Awesome Art Picks: Black Cat, Batman, Supergirl and More

The coolest comic book art you won't see in comics.

Each week we search the internet for the best comic book art that will never actually appear in comics. The reason they won't is because artists often draw sketches for fun or commissions and post them on their blogs, Tumblrs and websites. Some artists even arrange commissions through their sites.

Michael Cho posted this cool Superman, Batman and Robin pic he did for a friend on his blog.

That's it for this week. It's hard to say if we'll have an installment next week. It'll depend on whether or not the artists update their pages. Keep your eyes peeled.
