In Action Comics #5-6 (2011 series), Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert introduced us to a new version of the Adult Legion. The story itself was pretty nuts, but I enjoyed it. And the adult Legionnaires had new costumes in the story, modeled after Superman's New 52 costume, with the piping lines and such. Anyway, these were some of the few Legion costumes that Gene Gonzales had never drawn, so I commissioned him to draw them in his latest round of "Conventionless Convention Sketches". This is probably my favorite of the three, as I feel that Gene really rocked this take on the electrifying Garth Ranzz. I love the lightning, the shading on Garth, and Gene's take on his haircut. Shortly after I sent this over to Simon, he sent me back this beautiful colored version. I really dig the effects Simon added to the lightning and the gorgeous colors in the background. Once again, all my gratitude to Gene and Simon for going out of their ways to deliver excellent commissions!





If you like this piece then please do go buy some digital comics featuring Gene's work and/or go commission him yourself.
