A selection of original illustrations that will introduce each year of my side-scrolling beat-em-up book, by artist @RoboticSteve
Possibly the most surprising series I've played for the book is Sengoku from SNK. I never got a chance to play it back in the day, but I really love its creepy, odd vibe, wild imagination and solid combat. I'd highly recommend the arcade versions to all fans of the genre.
(1/9) Here's a huge thread of "GO!" symbols from side-scrolling beat-em-up games, ranging from 1984 to 1994.
How many of these have you played?
Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage (Mega Drive/SNES, 1994)
I'm 232 pages into the book after doing a write-up of Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage. It'll feature original illustrations by my BPM collaborator @RoboticSteve to open each year in the book. Here's some samplers :)
Our first comic release of 2020 is Vessels #3 and it’s coming along wonderfully. We’re almost done with the finishing touches, so here’s some final pages 😀

Some more images from the 1993 arcade brawler Knuckle Bash. It's a game where you fight to defend the spirit of wrestling. You can play as a wrestling Elvis impersonator, and fight a gang of quarterbacks on an American football pitch.
