Mark Brooks is an awesome American comic book artist who is currently signed to an exclusive contract with Marvel comics. He's known for his manga-influenced style, and detail in drawing backgrounds and scenery. His work is absolutely breathtaking, so you should definitely check it out.

I first found him a few years ago in DeviantArt, and the fact that he's constantly updating his portfolio is pretty great. There are 2 places to check his work out. The first one is at Marvel's site. There you'll see every single cover he's done. The other is his DeviantArt profile, with several sweet comics. I never get tired of looking at these... and I bet you'll enjoy them as well. Cheers! ;)

I really don't like people who draw this well. Makes my stick figures look even worse.

But, in all seriousness, some amazing works.

Awesome post and stellar artwork - While comic art has always had something of a cult following; I've noticed a huge rise in the popularity of the comic form recently among even more traditional designers - myself included. It might be the wave of great comic book based movies released in the last 5 years, it might just be credit where credit's due, but it seems more than ever that artists like this are getting the hard earned respect that they deserve in the public eye. Thanks for sharing this collection :)
