Mimi the Gun Mage and Skye from The Others: 7 Sins

Despite all the decades I’ve read comics, I had no idea who Richard Bonk was until I crossed paths with him on Facebook near the end of 2021. I commissioned him for my theme of heroes randomly running into each other and not instantly fighting, inspired by the issue of Savage Dragon where Dragon and Hellboy’s first meeting is entirely cordial . . . at least until Hitler’s brain throws a spanner into things.

I was blown away by all the detail Richard put into the work, but my favorite part of it is Skye waiting for a fist bump. I didn’t give him any character descriptions beyond sample images, but the fist bump really captures Skye’s perpetually friendly, “team mom” personality
