WHAT IF: ANNIHILATION



I did several pages of "enhanced pencils" for Marvel's WHAT IF: ANNIHILATION comic which goes on sale today. On the right is an isolated shot of Black Bolt and below it is a full page. I also got to design the Inhuman's ship on the bottom panel - what a fun project!



I share the pencilling in the book with talented newcomer Mico Suayan (MOON KNIGHT), with writing by David Hine (SPAWN, SILENT WAR) and colors by Paul Mounts.

David wrote a small description of the Watcher's machine being "kirbyesque" and that Reed Richards should have to adjust his body to the scale of the machine. So I drew Reed stretching and weaving around this complex non-earthling proportioned machine, his fingers straining to reach buttons on oddly shaped keyboards.

So check out the comic this week!

That looks cool. Love the shot of Iron Man with the visor retracted. Hope my local store gets this in, I'll definitely pick it up.

Thanks John - I got all the "quiet" scenes but they were fun. Yes, I've exchanged some emails with Mico - he's very talented! That's great that you guys met.
