Who is the artist on this one?
It's a really nice piece. I don't really know art terms, but I like how the arrangement of the characters has the reader looking down @ them @ a dramatic angle.
Interesting coincidence considering what I just posted in the Best Comic Panels thread....
I don't know if this counts as "great comicbook art" since it was never in a Comic, but back in 2019 I actually paid (the first time ever I've done that) for a commission from Bob McLeod when he was at Terrificon in CT to do the two Marvel Warlocks (Adam Warlock and New Mutants Warlock).
I hope this embeds okay.

I think he's also an underrated artist, though he's known more for his inks, and his inks are one of the "overwhelming" types where his style comes through a lot more.Bob McLeod is one of the best inkers ever.
He does Con commissions, which you can find here: https://www.bobmcleod.com/commissions-listing/event-convention-commissions/Very nice! I’ve been commissioning art since ‘98, but I’ve yet to get anything from him.
Firestar much better name than Heatwave. The latter just reminds me of the song.
I don't know that song.
You ever notice most comic book artists‘ signatures look like the same handwriting? It’s like they’re trained that way like learning to write in engineers‘ and architects’ “blueprint/schematic” font.I don't know if this counts as "great comicbook art" since it was never in a Comic, but back in 2019 I actually paid (the first time ever I've done that) for a commission from Bob McLeod when he was at Terrificon in CT to do the two Marvel Warlocks (Adam Warlock and New Mutants Warlock).

I liked a lot of it at the time. But it’s a jumbled mess in a lot of ways. It’s like 5 different long stories Claremont had going on, and he wove them altogether into a chaotic mess.
There are some really good moments going on in it, and some impressive art.
