Who's your favorite character of all time... which version.. by what artist? I know mine: Bob Kane's Batman by Alex Ross.

Salutations. I've chosen to keep this intro short (again) and let the art do the talking. Spread the love people, let these guys know you like there work by giving them some CRED and by posting on their blogs. *Our cover art this week comes from Tanel Reino who's digital art pieces I highly recommend (there's 3 at the bottom of this issue.) Peace, Love -Bobby Sherman.
