It’s the All-New, All-Different Marvel Rundown, but is it really? Is it really our weekly column where we take a look at all the #1’s in the brand new Marvel Universe? Or is it just a Patsy Walker A.K.A. Hellcat! #1 review? The answer it seems is both, as the only #1 from Marvel is […]

I love the character and attitude that artist David Lafuente puts into his comics pages! This week saw the release of the fifth and final issue of Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K. Assassin, which features another deliciously dynamic cover by Lafuente. David Lafuente is from Spain and currently lives in London where he’s working on his next big project, a creator-owned series for Image Comics called The Ludocrats with fellow creators Kieron Gillen and Jim Rossignol.
Lafuente first cut his teeth in the mainstream comics world on the 2008-09 Hellcat mini-series with writer/artist Kathryn Immonen, then worked with Brian M. Bendis on the Ultimate Spider-Man relaunch. Some of my favorite art by David Lafuente is his interior work on the All-New Doop series in 2014 with Doop’s creator’s Peter Milligan & Mike Allred; check out those beautiful pages above!
Other notable works include Batman Eternal, Batgirl, Neli Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book, and The Runaways.
You can follow David Lafuente and see his art process on his tumblr page here.

This was a very impressive first issue as Leth not only managed to set up a good cast of characters and narrative but also found a way to incorporate a lot of the crazy Hellcat history into the story. I also found the art to be perfectly suited for the tone of the story as Williams took advantage of her style to play with the storytelling (like when characters would go into Chibi mode at times)
This is one of the few All New All Different Marvel titles that seems to have lived up to the tagline!
