Sketch covers are an interesting breed of variant cover. Sometimes you get a limited run sketch cover that is simply a print of the original work. Other times the cover is an actual sketch on a blank cover done by one artist and auctioned off or sold for a high price. More often than not, I see sketch covers that don’t live up to the hype, which is why I’m happy to show off this cover by Mike Mayhew that is simply stunning.
Statue maker Kotobukiya has unveiled a brand new statue in its Bishoujo line with the Phoenix.
An elemental force of fire and life, the Phoenix found a suitable host template in Jean Grey, the X-Man known as Marvel Girl. When Grey seemingly sacrificed herself to save her teammates the alien entity took her place and started a whole new heroic chapter in the saga of the Phoenix. Now for the first time Phoenix is presented in the Japanese Bishoujo (pretty girl) style based on original character art by illustrator Shunya Yamashita.
The statue is sculpted by Koel Matsumoto and stands 9-inches high, and will sell for $59.99 when it is released in August.
And if you are curious if there is a Dark Phoenix version, the answer is Yes. You can see the complete gallery after the jump.
I’ve been meaning to post some of Marcio Takara’s works here, but got behind (as usual). If you want some awesome images of Marvel and DC characters, Marcio has you covered. Check out his take on Phoenix.
it was meant to be something else… but I decided to use it to draw a Marvel character again. I was between Ms Marvel, Scarlett Witch and Phoenix
