Speaking of Amazing, here's a painting by Deodato of your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man!

Deodato covers it

Just recently, I heard that the monthly She-Hulk comic from Marvel was to be canceled. Too bad, because I think it was finally hitting it's stride. Plus there were these cool covers by Mike Deodato that were very nice to look at.

I personally liked this one shown here, from issue 28, a tip of the artistic hat to the late Will Eisner, creator of the Spirit -- the comic book, not the recent movie of the same name.

Generally, I like covers with a lot of detail, and this one has it. Given that they were often done some time before the story for the issue was finalized, I think Deodato did a great job conveying a "look" for She-Hulk.

One of the amazing things about Deodato's recent work is that this is all done in pencil. Yep, there's no inking here. I'm amazed how good his pages look this way, even though I also loved his run on Amazing Spider-Man, and later on New Avengers with inker Joe Pimentel. Issue 20, page 9 shown here, as well.

It amazes me how Quickly Deodato can alter his drawing style to give the editors whatever they need.

I know some people decry the lack of an inker, others are thrilled to see just the pencils. What do you think?

Incidentally, both pages are (as of this writing) for sale at www.artandcomicsstore.com

This afternoon, I discovered if you click on any of the accompanying pictures in my posts, you get a much bigger version of it, so as to see details the small version here doesn't show as clearly. A day is never wasted in which you learn something and now I'm ahead for the day!

I suppose this is a dead giveaway that I've got a LOT to learn!
