Superman: Leviathan Rising #1 - Leviathan Character Study - Soldier Splash

Superman: Leviathan Rising #1 - Leviathan Character Study - Soldier SplashWith Perkins doing a 10 page story to help kick off this summer's Leviathan Rising event, the editor asked him to work up some character designs. This is one of four that he did.

Lex electrocutes Manchester Black

I love how Perkins separated the inset panel to make it appear as one image across 3 panels

Elicia decides to show this with a kiss

and to the woman's complete shock

Lois is in a panic because Renee won't answer her phone

a holographic image of Lex Luthor suddenly appears and reveals that when he previously offered him a new and better body and told him he needed his help

as she quickly rebuffs his advances

He suddenly drops to a knee

Such an amazing blend of traditional brush inking alongside varying shades of grey and many different textures

The story opens with this wonderful series of images flashing back to Levi and Jacob's childhoods on the first page and on this 2nd page of the story

This is one of four that he did
