JUSTICE LEAGUE:GENERATION LOST #8 goes on sale this week, both in stores and digitally from Comixology. I always liked the idea of Checkmate, and thought that modern black-ops knights were a pretty cool idea. Our gang has broken into the Checkmate HQ, but it looks like they didn’t really have an exit strategy. It was suggested that I go with wanted posters of the JLI, but I thought it’d be cool to see them hopelessly surrounded by these faceless soldiers. The chess theme is too strong to ignore, so placing them on the board worked both as design and story element. I think the sketch is stronger for its bolder thicker lines, so it lost that in translation, but I’ll have to remember that for the future. Also, all those agents took FOREVER to draw.
