There are three for-sure things all people love in life: comic covers, cover bands, and MS Paint. Some warned us to never combine this holy trinity. We here at Multiveristy Comics said no, threw caution to the wind, and combined mankind’s three favorite things into our new weekly feature: MS Masterpaint Theater! Each week, we will highlight some of the best comic cover art by recreating those masterpieces in the artist’s ultimate tool, MS Paint.

Welcome to this week of MS Master Paint Theater. Before we enjoy this week’s masterpieces, let’s run over the rules again real quick.

Rules: 

  1. Must use MS Paint. 
  2. Must use mouse and keyboard. 
  3. No tips, tricks, or hints. 
  4. 1 hour per piece. 
  5. Each piece will be rated on a scale of 1 to 10. 

Simple enough! Let’s open the curtain on this week’s covers! Enjoy

Power Man and Iron Fist #7

“Power Man and Iron Fist” is the Power Man and Iron Fist book we all needed. Sanford Greene’s art is light and cartoony and full of motion. It fits the tone of the series to utter perfection. I love the colors on this cover. I love the purple highlights and light yellow brushing all over everything. A very central and strong feature of Iron Fist but injected with Sanford’s fun. Iron Fist does not belong in jail but does my masterpaint recreation?

Sweet Christmas! Iron First looks like he is wearing a luchador mask. El puño de hierro!!! There is nothing subtle or cohesive about my colors or highlights. For colors I went for a 4 year old vomiting what their interpretation of a Jackson Pollock painting would be sort of aesthetic. The dragon emblem is not bad. The melting of the bars played well into my inability to draw any sort of straight line what so ever. You deserved better Danny, you deserved better.

Thank you for checking out another installment of MS Masterpaint Theater. Look for more stunning recreations next week. As we have settled into a weekly groove I will look to get other Multiversity Staff  into contributing and maybe even possible creator guests! If you are a reader and would like to contribute, we would love your submissions for your MS Paint masterpieces. Send them here: kwelch@multiversitycomics.com. Until next week, may your airbrush always be crappy.
