Dustin Weaver and Star Wars Rebellion

I’ve been posting a lot about the upcoming Indiana Jones mini and raving about Steve Scott’s artwork there, but I’m in a very happy place with the pages coming through from Dustin Weaver too from our two-issue Star Wars: Rebellion arc of the Vector crossover, which starts in July. Dustin’s not been in the comics biz that long but he’s a future star, I’m convinced. For me an artist needs to have a strong storytelling sensibility, first and foremost (everything on the page has to be clear to the reader), they have to have some innate grasp of dramatic imagery, and then they have to make it all look good. Dustin has all that and more – he’s also able to put insane amounts of detail in the background of panels while not sacrificing the panel’s main storytelling point (that’s the key there – it’s too easy for an artist to go overboard on detail while missing the main point of the panel).

Anyway, Dustin Weaver = groovy. Here’s a few Star Wars: Rebellion pages from the forthcoming Vector arc:
