#1 Double Feature: LOST VEGAS & UNCANNY X-MEN

LOST VEGAS #1 Variant Cover
UNCANNY X-MEN #1 Variant Cover
~~ Click on the images for biggie ~~
Hi guys,

I wanted to share a couple of recent variant covers I have done.
The first is for my dear friend Jim McCann's and Janet Lee's new series at Image titled LOST VEGAS. The pre-order for the book ends tomorrow so if you want to jump on this new sci-fi cool series make sure to call your shop and let them save you a copy. My variant is a 1:10 incentive cover.

The second cover is for the first issue of UNCANNY X-MEN (that MARVEL is releasing in February) and as far as I know it will be used as regular cover for the book for the Hastings chain of shops. It's probably available online as well (not 100% sure though).

Hope you enjoy both cover and both books :)

Cheers,
Francesco

~~ Click on the image for biggie ~~

Hello my friends,

June's PREVIEWS (the catalog for comicbook stores where you can pre-order copies of your favorite titles coming out in August) just came out last week, and since it seems to be heavy on my work, I thought to put together a quick  guide/list of my stuff for those of you interested in picking it up :)

Page 51 - Fear Agent Volume 1 HC
When down-and-out alien exterminator Heath Huston stumbles upon an extraterrestrial plot to commit genocide against the human species, he must put down the bottle and resume his role as a peacekeeper . . . as The Last Fear Agent.
This deluxe hardcover omnibus, the first of two, collects issues #1-#15 of the acclaimed Fear Agent comics, along with half of the Tales of the Fear Agent side stories, covers, pinups, and artists’ sketch galleries!
(this includes Fear Agent #11, a 22 page tale that marks the very first collaboration between me and Rick Remender, and beginning of a long friendship and work relationship that generated creator owned titles like SORROW)

Writer: Rick Remender
Penciller: Tony Moore, Jerome Opeña, Francesco Francavilla, Kieron Dwyer
Inker: Sean Parsons, Mike Manley, Hilary Barta, Ande Parks
Colorist: Lee Loughridge, John Rauch, Michelle Madsen

The biggest science-fiction crossover of all time continues in
As the CyberBorg continue to carve a swath of destruction across the galaxy, the Federation is met with the possibility of assistance, but from an unthinkable source! Will Captain Picard and the Doctor agree to an alliance that could be worse than the enemy they face?

A 2nd-generation KGB Cuban sleeper cell is activated & assigned to overthrow the U.S. Government.

Story by Nate Cosby & Ben McCool

"FireBreather" Pinup

FireBreather

Hi guys,

Sorry for the long hiatus, but I had to wrap up the Scalped issue (delivered more than a week ago) and the third issue of my WIldstorm new mini (can't wait to tell you more about it), so I have been busy making some funnies ;)

Meanwhile I also took a little time to do this little pinup for my good friend and brother Andy Kuhn and his Firebreather (the pinup will appear in the upcoming trade collecting the first issues of this awesome Image series).
And below the starting sketch, for those who like the process stuff.
Colors coming soon.

Keep an eye on this blog as I am planning to post something everyday this week, to make up for the lack of posts in Feb :)

Cheers,
Francesco
