          That looks more like an interpretation of Dormammu than Mephisto.

Took me a beat to realize that was Mephisto.
Is that the current interpretation?

 It really doesn't look all that off from, say, John Buscema's version to me.
 
 That JRJR version is...bad though.

 |  I like it.  :)  It looks like a blend of the classic Buscema with the freaky JRJR version (the tongue).       |

 Sadly, I don't know when Mephisto last appeared in a Marvel Comic. But his entry at Marvel's website looks like the 'classic' version.

 |  He looks grumpy. **************** It does seems like the only time Darkseid smiles is when he is killing, destroying or torturing. You almost get the feeling the guy is evil or something.

          I got this at the Hero Initiative booth in Baltimore. I then went and asked Walter to personalize it.
