Young Guns: Reloaded Sketchbook

    (Marvel, 2006)
™ and © 2006 Marvel Characters, Inc.

In 2004, Marvel Comics signed a bunch of talented artists to exclusive contracts and then promoted them as “Young Guns.” Considering some of those creators (Steve McNiven, David Finch) went on to become Marvel’s hottest stars, it makes sense that they’d try the same sort of approach just a few years later. This one-shot includes preview pages and sketchbook samples from six more talented artists, and it’s hardly surprising that before long members of this new group of “Young Guns” were attached to best-selling Marvel titles like New Avengers and Uncanny X-Men.

Billy Tan, Clayton Crain, Simone Bianchi, Leinil Yu, Pasqual Ferry, and Ariel Olivetti are the six featured here, and these pages—and for some, their previous comic book work—indicate all should enjoy similar success to that of their predecessors in the years to come.
