Carmine Infantino Mash-Up


From week 134, the theme was:
In honor of the late, great Carmine Infantino, suggest a famous Infantino-drawn comic book cover but with a different comic book character on it (Quicksilver and Hyperion racing a la Superman #199, for instance), and our artists will draw it.
Twitter follower, BigMike20X6 suggested: Star-Lord vs Xemnu the Titan on Mystery in Space 64. The original cover, featuring Adam Strange, can be found here.  Rest in peace, Mr. Infantino.

Check out the other great pieces from the talented Liners here.

Justice League Of... Anger!!!


From week 133, the theme was:
Based on a suggestion from my pal Steve, it is Angry Birds week! Suggest comic characters that you’d like to see drawn as Angry Birds characters!
Twitter follower, therealAstrozac, suggested: Justice League.  I went with the classic cover of the first appearance of the league in issue 28 The Brave and the Bold.

Word.
