BANDAIDS DON'T FIX BULLET HOLES

If your toenails have the same profile as a bullet you should probably stop filing them into such a weird shape. That can't be good for your socks.

Would it be all right to post good web comic art? I realize bad web comic art could fill a dozen threads by itself easy and should probably be left out, but the really really good stuff seems so rare I thought it might be worth showing.

I say do it, it's always good to see different art styles and we should respect good artists without the stigma of "oh they're on the INTERNET" like it degrades the art.

Guns firing or ejecting intact cartridges is practically a comic book staple at this point. I can understand Being off with designs because of unfamiliarity, or crazy outlandish gun designs, but the bullets thing is pretty terrible. It's really the simplest thing about a gun, a cartridge goes in, bullet goes out.

Maybe they're shooting Gyrojets at her. :v:

Then a real artist comes along who has the balls to completely change how bullets are fired from guns.

So this gun holds onto the bullet, and just launches the brass case at the guy? Fascinating.

I am about as far from being a gun nut as one can possibly be, but that annoys the piss out of me too.

Tracy Butler, the writer/illustrator for Lackadaisy does some pretty cool stuff.

Something to do with Spider-man and a face melt ray?

Those two are from the horrible and best forgotten Green Goblin series that launched out of the Clone Saga. It lasted 13 issues.

Butler drew him in a Spider-man issue, McDaniel drew the first few issues of the series. Robertson drew him in New Warriors I think.

Another similar image is this cover(?):



I think the general consensus was that this was in fact Quicksilver using a bandoleer or two and sling-shoting the bullets at her.

These actually look more like rifle bullets with a crimp groove than entire cartridges. So I would at least give the artist te benefit of the doubt.

The nose is shaped like a pistol bullet, but they're too long for that.

Also the surface they're impacting isn't at a uniform point, it's weird and lumpy and the perspective is kind of confusing.

And the fact that her suit conforms to individual butt cheeks is weird and probably really uncomfortable.

Guess quality control is being sacrificed to get the books out fast enough to capitalize on the movie's popularity.

That was exactly the first thing I though. I'd like to think Nicolas Cage broke into Marvel's editing department and sloppily photoshopped his own face onto a dozen different covers of comics being released in the next month.

He is already on the inside of most Marvel comics this month so why not the outside?
