There was a terrible one-shot in the 90's called Batman Digital Justice. All the art is done on early 90's-era CGI. You can imagine how this is going to end.

I remember thinking that that was pretty rad at the time. I think I've still got two (2!) copies of that knocking around at my mum's place. To be fair, while it was "in the 90s" it did come out in 1990 and was a gently caress of a lot more polished than Shatter, or other digital comics at the time. There was an Iron Man CG comic around the same time, I think.

Rough Lobster posted:I'd love to see a version of She Hulk where she looks like the actual Hulk/Supermutant from Fallout 3. However, for some reason I remembered a one-off Wonder Man villain from 1991 who was basically a female Abomination. http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/gammburn.htm Yes, using gamma rays to try and cure PMS was a 1990's plot idea.

Fearless_Decoy posted:Other than the scene with She Hulk and The Vision in Avengers:Disassembled, I can't really think of a time when She Hulk was drawn as a completely hulked out monster. Steve Gerber wrote a story in the early nineties where she became a roided out monster for some reason that I can't remember: http://www.comics.org/issue/47941/cover/4/

It might just be me, but the work of Menton3 pisses me off. I can't find any images from his comics, but this stuff from his DeviantArt page is about the same: In general he seems like one of the generic "dark" (Burton inspired) artists on DA that obscures half an image with complete darkness to avoid drawing, and then throws as many photoshop textures as he can to make it look detailed. It's okay for pinups, but it doesn't lend itself to storytelling at all (there's two pages of text in the first issue of Monocyte to explain what the hell is going on). What annoys me more is his lettering, which, again, tries to be dark and spooky but is just illegible (IDW owes me for his portion of the Dunwich Horror). It could just be a stylistic problem, but I hate this darkness soup crap.

Edge & Christian posted:I wanted to say that Hulk Annual was by Mark Millar because it seems like such a Millar idea, but it was actually Paul Jenkins. I think I got them mixed up because they were both writers who did a couple of things I really loved circa 2000 and then slowly whittled that good faith down to nothing. Those are all great but man that Sienkiewicz Thor is just perfect.

I've been reading Red Sonja for a while now, and what's really drawn me in was the art by Walter Geovani For me it's all in his eyes. I'm really into eyes, as they are the window into the soul. They're probably the hardest thing to get right, especially in mo-cap CGI films, but Geovani's eyes look true-to-life and vivid. I also like his costume aesthetics; yes, a chainmail sportsbra is no more practical than a chainmail bikini, but drat, I'm lovin' the new Roman Legionnaire look

I miss when people used to draw Red Sonja like a warrior instead of like a bikini model who's cosplaying as a swordswoman.

Don't get me wrong, that's better than what is normally drawn for Red Sonja, but it's still about as far from the definition of "warrior" as you can get.

Superboy #6 had the oddest persective problem I've seen in a while (click for bigger): Is Superboy huge? Is the van tiny? Did his leg grow really long to reach the van?

Good art: Amanda Conner The Last Angry Geek ponted out, Conner has a real Manga influenced style, and I also agree that her style helps soften the impact of some of the more infamous fanservice characters like Power Girl. That and her expressions are incredibly spot-on.

She's always been drawn as a model, just look at that loving link. Speaking of which, that Maroto page is awesome.

It's really the eyes that make the difference. Some times she's drawn like any other woman who has the expressions of a 20-something you'd see on the street. But then other artists draw her with berserker rage eyes and you almost forget she's wearing Victoria's Secret armour.

My field of vision isn't so small that I can't see her giant pumpkin tits and arched back, even with what you're saying. I agree it's a far sight better than a lot of cheesecake drawings, but don't act like it's breaking the mold here.

It's not breaking the mold. I just mean she actually seems like a warrior, in contrast to what the other poster was saying about her looking like someone just [skimpily] dressing the part.

Since there's a lot of talk of warrior women and what they should look like here lately, here's some stuff by Ross Campbell from Glory #23, which comes out next week, and is pretty much a completely different take on a tough female character than you usually see in comics: I know he's done some other creator-owned stuff, but he came to my attention when they announced the new Glory book and she looked so much different than every other female superhero out there. He's got some pretty cool stuff on his deviantart.

A little searching and I found a huge version I would have loved that poo poo when I was 12. On a somewhat serious tangent, though, why do we still have bad girl books? Back in the 90's that (and the SI swimsuit issue) was where teens went to get spank material. Real porn was hard to get a hold of. But these days all a kid needs to do is turn safe search off in google and they'll have all the boobs they need. Why is poo poo like that cover still being produced?

Take your 12 year-old self and never grow out of that phase. I'm guessing that's the primary audience.

They had some old trades of Witchblade in my Secondary School library, and even when I was fifteen, I thought it was embrassing and hokey cheesecake, with no substance or charm. I'm baffled that the series is still going, let alone that it's reached over 149 issues. Then I'm reminded of all the good comics about female superheroes, especially those by DC, that got quickly cancelled, and I'm just

12 year-olds with internet connections. Why they wouldn't be able to find actual porn if they're so-inclined makes them, well, a particularly sad variety of 12 year-olds.
