Team-Up Time

This is a cross-post with Muddy Colors — An Illustration Collective

Indestructible Hulk #9 Cover. 2013.
Ink(ed by Joe Rivera) with digital color on Marvel board, 11 × 17.25″.

Happy Monday, everybody! Hope you all had a great weekend. I've been on "crazy time" for the past week or so, but it's been exhilarating. ("Crazy time" is any week in which I work more than 100 hours.) I've still got a bunch to do over the coming week, but I thought I'd quickly share 2 new covers that were recently made public. Both deal with team-ups, a classic conceit in the Marvel Universe. Above, the Hulk gets some legal advice from a certain horn-headed lawyer. Below, it's high noon on the rooftops of New York as the Superior Spider-Man and the Punisher see who has the quicker draw.


Avenging Spider-Man #22 Cover. 2013.
Ink(ed by Joe Rivera) with digital color on Marvel board, 11 × 17.25″.

I think I'm going to continue my blog hiatus for the rest of the week. I've got too many deadlines coming up (which is always a good thing!)

  1. Hi from Spain Paolo.

    First, if I´m not wrong, last Saturday was your birthday and so... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU master!! (casually, my birthday it´s just next saturday).

    Both covers are wonderfull illustrations, but Hulks cover idea/concept it´s absolutly genial!! I love it.
    Your artwork for covers it´s not only pin-ups with cool posses and dramatic lighting,you always try to go further, performing compositions really interesting, imaginative and original squander (as the cover of Daredevil # 1, one of the best and most original I've ever seen).
    Congratulations for this illustrations and have a nice day friend!!
