Here’s a nice DPS from Avenger’s X-Sanction #2, by McGuinness and Vines. Ed is one of those guys whose work I really enjoy, for the most part. He can be a little “hit or miss” sometimes, but when he nails it, it’s something I usually get VERY excited about. I’m actually trying to remember the last time I saw him draw Iron Man. I’m sure he HAS, but don’t ask me when or where. You big McGuinness fans out there will probably be able to reference it faster and easier than I can.
Nice layout and composition on this great battle scene. And I love the black background as well. Of course another solid inking job by Dex (what else is new). I think together they really nailed old shellhead here! Never seen Iron Man look better. Didn’t read the story, so I’m not sure if Cable’s arm is behind him or torn off from the fight. But nice job on Cable’s armor and costume as well.
Wasn’t particularly looking to get another EDEX piece, but this just popped up and as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted it. Thanks to Michael Alexander for the smooth transaction. Check out his CAF gallery for lots of cool stuff to buy. A special tip of the cap to Mr. Vines for the nice big scan!
