I don't know what's going on with her right arm but it would literally touch her knees if she stood up straight.

I like how this is one of the few depictions of incorrect overly-done muscles on a FEMALE that's getting attention. Every other time it's the usual suspects of Liefeld and similar 90s superstars injecting bubbly steroids into everything from the delts to the pecs to the weird ribbed muscles on the ribs.

Kelly Jones is actually a lot more capable than that, which makes it even more sad.

There were some amazingly terrible comics launched by the Big 2 to try and ride the pouches/gritted teeth/wild hair/signature scroll/giant cape trend. The books that came out of Zero Hour are the ones that made the biggest impression on me.

Heresiarch posted:Kelly Jones is actually a lot more capable than that, which makes it even more sad. Kelly Jones is one of my fave artists but his Azbats stuff was lacking. He did draw a great traditional Batman though. The reason for the discrepancy is that Jones is a lot better at drawing "grotesque" characters (ie Batman with very long ears and infinite cape) that goes more for mood and atmosphere. Unfortunately for something like Azbats this is harder to do as the costume is too "modern" and doesn't allow much for interpretations.

The only thing that would make the new Godzilla comic complete are covers by Geoff Darrow. Big Guy and Rusty was basically Godzilla vs. Astro Boy.

Jesus, what is it with Charles Barkley and being in awesomely weird-as-gently caress spinoff things? He played in the Space Jam, he shot hoops against loving Godzilla, and he blew up New York with the Chaos Dunk. At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if he showed up out of nowhere to help Batman catch the Joker and Commissioner Gordon was all "oh hey sup Charles, you workin' with Batman again? That's cool." I decided to find out more about this crazy rear end comic and whoa hey:  Yeah that's Godzilla wearing Nikes. Why did Nike make shoes for Godzilla? Why do you care Jesus Christ it's Charles Barkley teaching Godzilla how to play basketball yessss Apparently the writing is kinda racist though, if the comments I read are any indication. Racial stereotyping in a comic book? No way that's loving ridicu  noooooooooooo Angry Diplomat fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Apr 3, 2012 |

Sir Charles is just a swell, good humored guy like Chuck Norris or Shaq. He was pretty aggressive on the court and body checking Godzilla is the least of his offenses. Barkley's golf days, now that's a horror story for the ages.

Also, "Godzilla got busy" is probably the best narration box in the history of the medium.

Judging by the flatter nose and "angle" of the rocks jutting out of the back of her head I think it's meant to be assumed that she's African-American with dreadlocks in a "bouffant" style, but drawn with one consistent inhuman skin tone. Honestly there is kind-of a basis for racism there.

FYI shaq is a humorless baby and a mushmouth rear end in a top hat who can't take a joke, nor can he tell one without weeks of practice. I can see how you might get confused since his PR has tried so hard to spin him as a lovable giant goof, but just try looking into the insane and awful poo poo he's done with regard to his divorce/affairs or watching him ruin Inside the NBA on a weekly basis.

Yeah, Bling there (seriously, her name is Bling, or occasionally with an exclamation point, so Bling!) is not only a young African-American mutant but is in fact the daughter of two popular hip-hop musicians (Roy "Daddy Libido" Washington and Angel "Sexy Mutha" Depres - you can't make this poo poo up) who appeared in her parents' videos from a young age. She's... well, she's not an inherently offensive character to my mind, but the fact that she started out as a broad caricature and (and this is the important part) has never really been developed beyond that point is pretty bad. She's appeared in some stories but she's never had a chance to develop much depth beyond the superficial.

Yeah basically she is a no-effort pastiche of racial stereotypes. She's not an overtly racist character, but she is still a pretty loving racist character imho. Also, on a note more relevant to this thread, I feel that her design is pretty silly even by comparison to the other hilariously silly things that pop up in X-Men. She's just this kind of smear of purply-blue colour and jaggedy lines. My eyes want to slide off of her in search of something easier to visually parse.
