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:

Must use MS Paint.
Must use mouse and keyboard.
No tips, tricks, or hints.
1 hour per piece.
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

Masterpaint Theater

Captain Marvel #6
By Kris Anka

Oh boy Kris Anka is the best. Crisp lines, beautiful figures and forms. Always wonderful at selling expressions and body language. I mean look at this cover. We only see the bottom portion of the face and we get a great deal of emotion. In conjunction with Carols power stance we get a great deal of story telling from this image. Kris is also super adept at capturing the female form while still present strong and natural figures. Will I too crush it with the ease at which she demolishes Tony’s helmet.

Captain Marvel #6
By Kyle Welch after Kris Anka

Nope. It looks like she is crushing a Iron Man Mr Potato head. While Kris captures the female form so well, I captured some sort of weirdo who loves shoulder day. Look at those noodley wrists come off those beefy shoulders. My favorite thing about Kris’ cover is Carol’s expression. So I made sure she was mean muggin all the way. Listen guys, we have done worse for sure.
