Thunder = Stolen

Further proof has emerged that Chris Sims and I are actually twins separated at birth (he is sent to temperate South Carolina while I am left to suffer the harsh tundra of Canada). For the past couple of weeks, my pal Dave Howlett and I have been collaborating on some Marvel variant covers (and by collaborate, I mean he draws them and I do nothing).

The aim here is to poke fun at the seemingly endless variant cover themes Marvel comes up with (Zombies!...Skrulls!...Apes!). These are our ideas for what might come next.

Meanwhile, over at the ISB, Chris has posted this. How did we have the same thought in the same week?! Damn you, Sims!

Anyway, here's what Dave and I came up with.

  1. Awesome. Marvel Horsies is my favorite of these. His Hobos beats yours due to the conspicuous lack of a bindle in yours.

  2. Marvel Fairy Princesses and Marvel Horsies are excellent.

  3. Shit! I can't believe I didn't put a bindle in there. For shame, me.

    For the record, Rachelle, the ideas for most of these were yours, so I'd say you contributed plenty...

    I would be ALL OVER Marvel Horsies. That is some great stuff.
    I have the Power Pachyderms referenced above, but the horsies would kick its ass.

  11. You out invincibled and out supered Chris Simms.
    That's quite an accomplishment.

  12. Oh, YEAH, I DO love the Marvel Horsies. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  13. That was awesome. My favorite was the Hobos because I'm a big fan of Daredevil, and that's a classic issue.

    Are you selling prints or the originals at all? I'm interested!

    ReplyDelete
  14. These...these are BEYOND awesome. They are super-MEGA-awesome!

    Oh, and hilarious.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Thanks guy!

    I can't stop looking at Marvel Horsies, myself. That Namor in the corner kills me.

    I think Dave is open to making prints and selling them. I'll get some info out soon.

  16. I love that Horsie Thor can still wield his hammer, thanks to the strap that hangs from the bottom.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Bravo, guys!

    Let's see, I'll take a Marvel Mermaids, a Marvel Fairy Princesses and a Marvel Horsies (Oh man, Namor Horse is fantastic! Is he a seahorse?)

    ReplyDelete
  18. My favorite is Marvel Hoboes, because......it actually looks really cool. I'd kinda like to read that.

    Hilarious! I agree that Marvel has gone way over the deep end with their variant covers. I understand the need to sell more issues, but give us a break!

    That Marvel Hobos would look BRILLIANT on my wall.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Though technically, as a product of Norse mythology, the Thor horse really should have either wings or EIGHT LEGS. ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Utter genius!

    I want to see Marvel Horsie Iron man get drunk and wreck up the place.

    Seriously, Zombies and apes are so passé, even Werewolves are getting over done. We need more originality, bring on the horsies and I wait eagerly for the day we see Marvel Hobos gracing the covers.
