Best Art Ever (This Week): Princess Peach, The Dark Knight, Freddie Mercury, Fifth Element, Evil-Lyn And More
We make a regular practice at ComicsAlliance of spotlighting particular artists or specific bodies of work, as well as the special qualities of comic book storytelling, but because cartoonists, illustrators and their fans share countless numbers of great pinups, fan art and other illustrations on sites like Flickr, Tumblr, DeviantArt and seemingly infinite art blogs that we’ve created Best Art Ever (This Week), a weekly depository for just some of the pieces of especially compelling artwork that we come across in our regular travels across the Web. Some of it’s new, some of it’s old, some of it’s created by working professionals, some of it’s created by future stars, some of it’s created by talented fans, awnd some of it’s endearingly silly. All of it is awesome.
Nobrow Press Demands Your Attention With Auspicious Spring 2015 Slate
This year saw Nobrow earn Eisner nominations for Luke Pearson's Hilda and the Bird Parade (Best Publication for Kids Ages 8-12 and Best Writer/Artist), Nobrow #8: Hysteria (Best Anthology), Jose Domingo's Adventures of a Japanese Businessman (Best U.S. Edition of International Material), and Nobrow is armed to the teeth with an ambitious slate of compelling new work set to debut in the Spring of 2015.
Among those comics is Fantasy Sports, an oversized and expanded graphic novel edition of Sam Bosma's self-published Fantasy Basketball, itself one of ComicsAlliance's picks for the Best Comics Of 2013; and Vacancy, a 17x23 comic by Jen Lee, a contributor to CA favorites Wolfenjump and Teen Dog, that Nobrow describes as "a take on Homeward Bound if all the animals were millennials and all the people were dead." Sounds like our kind of jam.
The Spring slate includes four additional titles in the 17x23 format, some of which feature the first published work of some extremely talented cartoonists, as well as three full length graphic novels. You can sample the entire lineup below and stay tuned for more coverage of some of these tantalizing new comics in the months ahead.

The Complete ‘Kate Or Die’ Halloween Collection
The writer of Boom! Studios' Bravest Warriors and Adventure Time: Bitter Sweets, IDW's Edward Scissorhands and Archaia's Fraggle Rock, Kate Leth got her start with the frequently autobiographical, always entertaining webcomic Kate Or Die. Now published bi-weekly here at ComicsAlliance, Kate uses the strip to address topics germane to the comic book and broader nerd cultures. And Halloween.
See, in reviewing the last couple months of strips, we noticed Kate has a preoccupation with dressing up and all things macabre, so much so that we were able to compile this digital collection of spooky and costumed-themed comics for your Halloween enjoyment.
Princess Bubblegum Takes A Road Trip In Leth & Sterling’s ‘Adventure Time: Bitter Sweets’ [Preview]
On sale next week from the kaboom! imprint of Boom! Studios, Adventure Time: Bitter Sweets is the fourth in a series of original graphic novels starring the characters from Pendleton Ward's enduringly popular and influential animated series. The first three, printed in black and white, explored scenarios and relationships like Finn and Princess Flame's budding romance; a coming-of-age journey with some of the series' idiosyncratic princesses; and a teen-type angst opus starring Marceline the Vampire Queen. Courtesy of writer Kate Leth and artist Zachary Sterling, Bitter Sweets is a full-color adventure (obvs) focused squarely on Princess Bubblegum and Peppermint Butler, who is her butler (obvs), as they traverse the lands beyond the Candy Kingdom.

‘Sensation Comics’ Preview: Baby Phoenixes And Brutal Stabbings
This week's creative team is comprised of longtime Warner Bros. Animation talent Michael Jelenic, best known for his work on Teen Titans Go!, Thundercats, and, of course, the animated Wonder Woman feature film. He's joined by veteran comics artists Drew Johnson and Ray Snyder, alumni of the famous Jolly Roger Studio, and colorist Lizzy John, whose work we've seen before in Archaia's line of Jim Henson Company comics and graphic novels. The cover comes courtesy of illustrator Paul Davey, whose contribution here represents his first comic book work, as far as I know.
As you can see in this exclusive preview, the team's story falls along the lines of the traditional adventure story with the kind of mythological, majestical scale to which Wonder Woman lends herself so well.
Slightly Imperfect Past Hulk Event ‘Future Imperfect’ To Return Perhaps Less Imperfectly In The Future (Imperfect)
One of the more memorable Hulk stories in the character's long history, Peter David and George Pérez's Future Imperfect tale from 1993 saw the Hulk transported nearly 100 years into an imperfect dystopian future ruled by an even more powerful version of himself called, amazingly, the Masetro, and in complete command of his distinctly non-savage, less imperfect Bruce Banner mind.
in 2015, Marvel readers will be transported back to that alternate, imperfect future where there is only Hulk as part of what we are increasingly believing to be a dimension of Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic's Secret Wars -- itself a callback of sorts to a famous if imperfect storyline of Marvel's past, whose possibly imperfect future arrival has been heralded by a torrent of teasers referencing other similarly momentous if imperfect events of the past.
This teaser, provided exclusively to ComicsAlliance, was drawn by Dale Keown, one of very few Hulk artists whose visions of the green goliath could be described as definitive.
