A quick look at artist Chris Samnee's concept art for the book, here's what he has to say about his sketches:
Samnee: Urich has had the same basic look in all of his appearances in the Marvel Universe. Since I'm not one to mess with a good thing, I stuck with his classic khaki pants, tie and trenchcoat look. I've updated his glasses slightly and really just tried to stick as close to [David] Mazzucchelli's interpretation as possible.
Samnee: I've drawn Hawkeye dozens of times in the past but always as Clint Barton. This sketch was my first crack at trying to show Bullseye's face behind the mask
Samnee: Both of these Venom sketches were an attempt to figure out my take on Venom's size and texture. His overall design has pretty much stood the test of time but, since my last doodles of Venom were stored in a Trapper Keeper back in high school, I figured it'd be best to come at him from a couple different directions before tackling him on the page.
Samnee: John Romita's Norman can't be topped. I tried to make him a bit older...maybe a bit darker, but at the end of the day Romita's version is what I think of when I picture Osborn.
Samnee: This is almost exactly as he appears in the series. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to do him justice when I heard that he'd be in the book, but he's been a surprisingly fun character to draw. Whenever I read Brian Reed's script. Volstagg's voice in my head sounds like John Dimaggio's Aquaman from the "Batman: Brave and the Bold" cartoon.
