Description

Not to long ago I discovered Brain Balondo's work here and at DA. I knew after seeing his stuff I had to get him on board for some Nova related project. I gave him the cover to Nova #3 which was the first appearance of Diamondhead and he knocked it out. Leaps and bounds different from the original,and as you can see,much darker. I really like Diamondhead's eyes in this piece,almost glowing!

Brian did the whole thing for me including masthead,logo and letters.Such a great guy to work with that I have a second commission being worked on as I post this. Much thanks Double B!

Enjoy

I'm not sure which I enjoy more. The re-imagining's or the brand new covers :)

I really wanted to do one or the other,but there were still a few key covers from the original series that I hadn't got around to. This was one. Next one is the finale to the time travel series. It's a banger!!
