Well it seems the Rom logo redesign posting really brought the art critic in a lot of people so let's try this one on for size. I found this last night on ebay and it got me thinking. I like the direction this artist (Kio Pham) was going in but I feel like this art has an unfinished look to it. If someone was doing quick sketch art of people's favorite superhero at a carnival or amusement park I would say ok in those terms this looks great. But I'm assuming this guy wasn't under that type of time constraint so if he's got the skill to do what we see here why not spare an extra 15-20 minutes to take it all the way? That's what I would have done especially if I was looking to make a little cash off it.

Most of you have probably seen this one before. We know how many times Sabra has tussled with The Hulk before so I'm assuming this artist (Rich Buckler) wanted to visualize how it might look to see Sabra going up against The Hulk's traditional Marvel power house rival Ben Grimm. Again we see something here that I basically like but would have also liked to have seen the artist take some more time with it. Just try to imagine this if it were inked by Akin & Garvey. It would be epic! All that aside I think it would have been fun just to throw a box of matzos into this to make it look like their fighting over it : )
Speaking of Akin & Garvey check out this ROM #43 variant cover. If I were to guess I bet this was the original concept that was fine tuned for the final version. If you need a quick reference for the cover art of #43 here you go: http://siskoid.blogspot.com/2009/02/spaceknight-saturdays-spaceman-saturday.html
