Preview: Gambit Gone #1

Gambit Gone #1

(W) Steve Orlando (A) Gerardo Sandoval, Edoardo Audino

FROM THE PAGES OF X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE! A saga spinning directly out of the shocking conclusion of X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE: OMEGA — one which will demand more of the man called GAMBIT than ever before! In two intertwined tales, REMY LEBEAU will face his demons… and the demons of all mutantkind… in a story which will see the limits of the reformed Gambit pushed to their breaking point. What kind of man–what kind of husband–what kind of hero–will emerge?!

Peach Momoko delivers a new vision for the Marvel Universe with Momo-Tone Variant Covers

Peach Momoko continues to redefine her artistry! This November, the visionary artist debuts Momo-Tone Variant Covers, an all-new variant collection that showcases a bold new technique for the best-selling cover artist. In these gorgeously painted pieces, Momoko utilized screentones, adhesive sheets traditionally used in manga to create dynamic shades of gray and dramatic shadows. The result is a striking collection of dramatic portraits of Marvel icons unlike anything Momoko has created before, while still remaining true to her unmistakable signature style! 

When I was in school, I always wanted to use screentones for my artwork, but they were too expensive for me to afford. Now I have the opportunity and decided to challenge myself by using screentones for these new Marvel covers.

But an obstacle emerged. How to color using watercolor paint on these screentones? So instead of painting on top of the screentones (risking the art warping), I tried and found that painting on the back of the canvas was very effective! It created a very clean, soft tone color palette that comes through the painting when light passes through from behind. I always enjoy these trial and error challenges and discovering the best methods of painting.
