Marvel announced issue nine of Dark Avengers series has sold out at the distributor level, prompting the company to send the issue back to press. Interior artist Mike Deodato also provides the variant cover to the reprint that arrives on November 04, 2009.
Mike Deodata had a really great quote the other day that I wanted to share with everyone.
I got an email from a young comic artist wanabee who wanted to know how old I was when I started working at Marvel, so that he could have an idea how long it would take for him to break in, as well. He was feeling already too old. He’s nineteen.
I told him that age doesn’t matter.
One of the worst artists I know of started at Marvel when he was 20.
One of the best artists I know of — Hal Foster — started his immortal creation, Prince Valiant, when he was 40.
You can start at Marvel at 20 and be a zero. You can start at 40, never work for Marvel and yet be a genius.
Age doesn’t matter. Talent does.
Now watch as Mike cranks out a Wolverine sketch.

After Matthew’s review of Thunderbolts #113 yesterday, I figured you might be interested in seeing one of the inked pages of Thunderbolts #114 by Mike Deodato Jr. It looks pretty sweet, what with Venom getting his ass handed to him in the first panel.
If you have ever wanted to know what an artist goes through when creating a cover image? Mike Deodato Jr. shared several steps his covers go through on the way to completion. In this installment we have a thumbnail, black and white inks for the cover, and the final cover itself.
I tried to experiment a looser way of inking it, using markers instead of brushes and pens in order to get the feeling of a penciled cover, you know, the energy and the movement that generally gets lost during the process of inking it. I think I was successful.
