If I was creating a new super-hero team, or relaunching an old super-hero comic book, the person I’d first think of to design/re-design my character’s costumes would be the great British artist Jamie McKelvie! He’s the one behind the excellent new costume designs of Captain Marvel, AKA Carol Danvers, and the wildly popular new version of Ms. Marvel, AKA Kamala Khan. You can see the design sheets posted above. McKelvie has been steadily producing some of the best conceived cover designs/art for many of Marvel Comics’ recent titles, including Ms. Marvel, Nightcrawler, and the recent(much too short-lived) Young Avengers re-launch.
Jamie McKelvie, and his frequent collaborator, Kieron Gillen, have recently launched a new, creator-owned series for Image Comics called The Wicked + The Devine. Their unique new-Mod take on super powered folks is a fresh addition to the usual, over-saturated fare.
You can see more art and follow Jamie McKelvie on his Twitter page here.

You can’t tease us like this – what was the album?
Heh, it was The 2nd Law by Muse. Interestingly, I seem to be in the minority of longtime fans who like that one. I’m pretty sure my script has nothing to do with their own concepts behind the album, but it’s amusing when they use certain words in interviews (out of context) that totally make sense with where I’m going!
I was curious about this book — I’ve seen the Young Avengers popping up in crossovers, but I don’t really know who they are. Your review convinced me; I’ll go pick up the first issue. Thanks!
Danny H – I’m thrilled to hear that! I do hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
