X In Hell

 

For The Line It Is Drawn, September 7th, 2025:

"In the Style of." You name a comic character and then name the artist you want to see that character drawn in. For instance, "Superman, in the style of Charles Schulz" or "Calvin and Hobbes, in the style of Todd McFarlane." Stuff like that. The more offbeat the better!

The Replacement Avengers!

For The Line It Is Drawn May 15th, 2023:

In honor of the launch of Avengers #1, our own Rod Allen thought it would be fun for people to suggest odd new Avengers rosters. Name four heroes you'd like to see form a new Avengers lineup (if our artists feel like it, they might draw more than four, but I don't feel right asking them to draw more than four).

Twitter follower, Adrian Tullberg's (@adriantullberg) suggested:

-War Machine
-Monica Rambeu
-U.SAgent
-Thunderstrike
Code name; the Replacements.

Soar Among The Stars, Professor Xum

We lost a very talented and amazing person recently by name of Xum Yukinori.  I hadn't met Xum directly, but he was a longtime contributor to The Line It Is Drawn segment on Comic Book Resources, which I also count myself as a contributor.  Through email and social media interactions, I grew to admire the man.  His knowledge of DC bronze age comics and his love for the cancelled Green Lantern cartoon were second to none.  Just an all around nice and great guy who loved his family and comics.

Xum was a talented and prolific artist.  Brian Cronin, editor of The Line It Is Drawn compiled a post featuring all of Xum's Line work here.

Xum would work himself into many of the Line pieces as a self-referential character known as the unabashedly conceited Professor Xum.  My homage features the Professor and his beloved Green Lantern, Aya, cruising the cosmos.  You can find the other Liner's tributes here.

Godspeed, Xum.
