"HE'S LIKE THE YODA OF COMICS" - my friend Liz
Bringing you the very best in comics art and cosplay - 10,000 posts and still going strong! KoC has been linked to/reblogged by the likes of Neil Gaiman, Brian Michael Bendis, Dave Gibbons, Gail Simone, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Kieron Gillen, Mike Deodato Jr, Marcio Takara, Adam Hughes, Paolo Rivera, and Ty Templeton. KoC has also been mentioned on Comics Alliance & The Mary Sue. (I'm not one to brag, though.)
My personal blog is here, FWIW.

Aussie artist Stuart McKenny (whose work was most recently seen in an issue of The All-New Batman: the Brave & the Bold) has produced a Game of Thrones print for Supanova. While I must confess to not even being remotely familiar with the books or TV adaptation, this portrait of Daenerys Targaryen is awe-inspiring.
It is my sad duty to impart the news that Jean ‘Moebius’ Giraud has passed away. While most widely known to mainstream comics fans for his collaboration with Stan Lee, Silver Surfer: Parable (whose final page is depicted above), Moebius was also famed for his Blueberry graphic novels, co-founding Metal Hurlant (the inspiration for Heavy Metal, and to a lesser extent, Epic Magazine), and for helping design the look of Tron alongside Syd Mead.
Moebius’ influence was widely felt in both the American and European comics industries, and the artform will be poorer for having lost him.
Damn-wake up in the middle of the nite & see Jean Giraud (Moebius) has passed away. A huge influence & true visionary, we’ve lost the best
