I'm happy with how this works so I'll keep using it but always keep my traditional PB lines and pencil work.

Don't get me wrong, your older stuff like that District9 image is awesome, and very unique sylistically. Its just pretty cool to see what you can do with that specific aesthetic style if you add some more painterly elments to the illustration.
The warm-to-cool colour composition is really great, because it diects the viewer's eye to everywhere it should be directed in the illustraion. Great foreshortening in the character's pose too- its not too subtle, and not overdone. Perfectly balanced.
I love the fact that though there is a quite a bit more painting in the illustration, you sill didn't compromise you line art- this is of course one of your strengths as an illustrator, so it should be the way it is right now.
A pretty cool trick you did was slightlly warping that Berretta of his, it really gives a great, but subtle, sense of motion is the character's pose.
I like the fact that only the bare essentials of detail are used to convey the background. There's a roof, walls and a roughly drawn explosion,and that's really all the illustration needs, especially considering that the entire composition, and perspecive theref, leads the eye to the character's facial expression.
All in all, a really fun image. Its great to see what your new work looks like, as I've said, pushing you style towards realism makes it look reaaaal cool.
The Only thing I'd like to have seen a bit more of, is the rim light that the explosion created on the character. Currently, its just showing on his right side, and it MIGHT have looked a bit bettter if the rim light shone on both sides of the character. But this is somethin barely noticable in the overall picture, so I don't think its that big a problem.
The pose is classic and the shot is to classy too.
You didn't pass much time of the boum effect, even if it's out focus, you need to get it right.
Look like he miss an arm. Maybe the pose, but he look strange without two arms.
You're lighting is good too (you use the burning as backlight).
My advice: Try to focus on detail. I know comics is not every an art of detail but if I look to youre style.. you pass more time on head then cloth. (in this image).
That's it.
