The only thing by him that I've seen before is Cat Eyed Boy, but he is a horror artist/writer so yeah. Aha! The page I found it on had it among a whole bunch of vintage shoujo (girl's) stuff, so that's what I went with.

I love Maguire; I think the main problem there is the colourist. Those colours look like poo poo. Unfortunately, most of Maguire's work these days seems to be coloured like this.

Seriously, a huge chunk of the coloring in comics these days seems to be done in the same horribly lazy smudge tool and gradient filled way. If they just did each piece in like two or three shades of one color it would look clean and simple and take less time than what they are doing. At least it helps dudes like James Stokoe stick out more, I guess. Edit: There, seriously, that is an ungodly amount better. VVVVVV Wowporn fucked around with this message at 09:17 on Mar 8, 2013 |

For comparison, here is Maguire with a competent colourist. All from Formerly Known As The Justice League (unfortunately, I Can't Believe It's Not The Justice League went right back to having poo poo colours). Also note that the exaggerated faces Maguire draws work a lot better when the writing is actually funny.

I really can't say enough good things about Ross Campbell's artwork, but I will say that I'd probably read a book about any stupid Liefeld character provided that he draws it: (Glory #33)

It's probably not everyone's cup of tea, but for me, it's basically a book of self-indulgent cheesecake.

Yeah, I've read the first volume of Wet Moon and liked it even though I imagine I'm not the target audience. There's just something addictive about the slice-of-life shenanigans with underlying mystery that he writes. I'll pick up the second volume whenever it comes out on Comixology.

Wait, aren't Rein-East and Sharpsmooth in that "Glory" page from the recent "Prophet" reboot thing? Which is set like ten thousand years in the future? Or are they old obscure Image characters too? (I would post pages from the recent "Prophet" reboot by Graham et al but where do you even begin to choose which ones?)

a kitten posted:This isn't a gif of a scene from an anime, it's a gif of sequential pages from the hilarious and wonderful comic Onepunch Man.   His comic BLAME in particular. As it progresses it seems to transition from a more traditional manga look into an almost charcoal like abstraction, depicting both silent traversal across limitless constructs and the godlike destruction that punctuates it. Both serve the theme of humans being expendable vermin in a backdrop beyond their evolution and understanding. It's one of the more haunting and nihilistic stories I've read, told mostly without dialogue, and I revisit it often.

Some people complain his women all have the same face, but he is far from the only artist to do this (Byrne, Dillon, so many others), and I love his faces, clothing, and composition. Hawkeye looks a lot like Alan Tudyk in that picture, the actor I really would have preferred play him in the Marvel movies.

Reading that when I was younger shaped me so much as an artist and a storyteller. His backdrops are just astounding, which is understandable, since Nihei was an architect before foraying into the comics industry. "Haunting" is the perfect word to use for the visuals.

Absolute Sandman I am not familiar with, would you say that this is a good representation of what you get: http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/09/23/absolute-sandman-recoloring/ I gotta say that I am a fan of the Hellboy/BPRD line of comics, and generally I feel the colouring is a cut above. I was struck by how good the most recent BPRD Vampire looked (colours by Dave Stewart, who has done a lot of good work). In terms of general art I gotta say that this is one of my favorite pages in all comic books:  Hellboy - Wake the Devil #2. I love how Hellboy is presented in that second panel, the focus isn't so much on his face as on his broad chest, shoulders and matching stone arm, he is presented as this wall of force. The speech bubbles are the only thing acting as a shield separating him from the monster with its fragile bobble head siting on its shoulders, not so integrated into them. Then in the last panel as he is willing to talk to the vampire/zombie he becomes much more humanised. His profile shrinks down, not just a solid mass but with a defined head. That arm too is well defined by the coloured wall, unlike previously when it was all framed in negative space such that his body blended together. He's not fully trusting, we don't see his face, only the back baldness of his head which carries the strong lines of his back, and he's still partially framed in blackness. He's on the verge of going into the light, his head cocked towards it. The monster is more humanised than hellboy is, articulated limbs, and we get a closeup shot of it's face. I love the contrast between his bright, warm redness and the cold earthiness of everything else. Even the blood on the zombie/vampire is subdued, cold and old. I'm also a big fan of the trailing candle smoke. Ruptured Yakety Sax fucked around with this message at 07:30 on Apr 2, 2013 |

The Simonson Thor Omnibus has great recolouring, I feel. It actually enhances his art and you could tell they put a lot of effort into making it look modern without giving it a different palette.
