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

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

Each and every week we gather up the best comic book art that you will not see in comics. The reason you won't is because artists often do sketches for fun and commissions and post them on their websites, blogs and Tumblrs. Many artists often arrange commissions through their sites so check them out for more detail if you're looking to own a cool original piece.

Michael Walsh was at Toronto ComiCon and posted this Superior Spider-Man sketch on his Tumblr.

Love Noto's work. His second work is very nice. Love that green. I just wish it wasn't Jessica Paré.

Oh, Phi Noto. What I wouldn't give to have you draw everything. He might have become my favorite artist over the past few months.

Cameron Stewart's Death and esp Catwoman...I really love 'em. Just eye candy, so incredible, just wow. Same goes for all the art here...just wow! Great display this week by all the talented artists. Dodson's Wonder Woman is icing on the comic art cake.

Man, after seeing those Man of Still pics, Superman definitely needs to lose that collar. Ever since they gave the collar to Aquaman in Brightest Day, i guess DC went collar happy.

The Shazam piece is incredible. Wingman vs. Redbird is kinda obscure.

@HushoftheWind: The collar looks good on Superman in my opinion, but let's not get into a debate.

The gargoyle in that McKone drawing cracks me up. Also by the looks of it, this friendship between Franklin Richards and The Hulk will be long, fruitful, and full of witty cynicism.

Lots of great art this week. Is that first one from Robert Atkins supposed to be Ken from Gatchaman? Either way, cool pic.

Francis Manapul's Captain Marvel is gorgeous. I really need to save up money for that kind of commission from him.

Bourassa's Cyborg is too sharp to ignore as is that Stitch/Yoda from Garbowska. Honorable mention goes to Asrar's Black Cat - because it's tough to not like a buxom lady.

since everyone's pointing out Manapul's Cpt. Marvel and Zod, i'm gonna say Gene Gonzales Hulk's haircut, jawline and other features appeal to me. The green hint of the hair too. Paolo Rivera, Robert Atkins and Agnes are all very talented and have their unique styles. Idk if they could ever do as bad job. So what's that first Robert Atkins' work? Batman vs Talon?

Jeremy Roberts' Man of Steel stuff for the win, with Manapul's Shazam a close second and Joel Gomez' Venom in third for me. Awesome stuff overall though!
