A lot of people draw comic books. A good bit of them draw comics well. A few draw comics really good. Some artist are so unique they defy classification. There are only a handful of those, but Cory Walker is definitely one of them. I first discovered Mr. Walker in the pages of "Invincible" and it took time to get adapted to his style. After he went MIA on Invincible after the first couple of issues, I next saw him on his blog, where he posted all kinds of crazy scribbles. Then, much to my delight, he made his inevitable return to Invincible, with a slick new style and a redesigned Omni-Man to boot! I was digging through old comics on a trip to Austin, Texas and that is when I discovered his crowning acheivement: The Destroyer, which he and Robert Kirkman made as apart of Marvel's MAX imprint. This book is flat out phenomenal. From the character design, to the page layouts to the gore, this is Walker at the top of his game.
I hope he draws some more Science Dog soon.
