ComicSketchArt Charles Soule exclusive

Francesco Mattina is one of a new breed of comic artists who has never provided interior art for a comic book, but has only done covers.  His artwork is painted and reminiscent of the work done by his fellow countryman Gabriele Dell'Otto.  His recent Venom variant covers have garnered him a lot of attention in recent months.
