I'm just gonna comment on one of these since I'm too lazy to hit up all three and leave comments.
Okay, so.
I like the pose and detail. I think you've got a good handle on your style which is working it's way to being all professional comic-y. I know little about the Marvel universe, though, so whether or not the characters are in their right mind or not I haven't a clue. The little dragon not withstanding.
For some reason, though, as I look at the three versions of this---pencil, ink, and color---I find myself seeing good elements in each one, but something isn't quite carrying over. For instance, I find that the characters look slightly more natural than the inked and colored version. I know it wasn't redrawn, but for some reason Colossus' right hand looks unusually stiff in the inked/colored version. I'm not sure why. There also seems to be no indication that Shadow Cat's derriere is resting on Colossus, like her weight is suspended off his shoulder.
Okay. Poking and prodding aside.
The inked version is very sharp and clean.
Even though I just went after the posing a bit, I think your characters look more natural than older works. Your characters, even in dynamic poses, seemed to have a weird stiffness to them. It seems to have gone away so +1 to that!
And the colored version seems very poppy and cheery. I think the metallic effect is quite cool.
:: breathes in :: Okay, I'm done now.
