Timing is everything. Since the first Ravens game of the regular season (Monday) falls within a day of this year's Baltimore Comic-Con (Saturday and Sunday), we decided to combine the two, for a Ravens comics edition of b. We asked illustrators in and around Baltimore to recreate five classic moments from Ravens history as comic strips.

And we couldn't help but take a few shots at the Pittsburg Steelers, like Bart Scott's punishing sack of Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in 2006. Let the games begin.
