It is guaranteed to be lazy, ignorant, and/or uninformed.
Since this is the art thread it seems, I have a question. Isn't the problem with the older books coloring , such as Batman Year One etc.. that they are unable to print those colors like that again or something to that effect. Like it's physically impossible to get that combination? Cause I have original Batman Year One and I have a digital copy and a trade of it but the colors on all three are completely different.

It had no choice. Their defense grid was smashed. We'd won. Taking out Carr then would make no difference. Skynet had to wipe out his entire existence!

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
Tradd Moore's work on "Luther Strode" from image is really good, but applying his style to existing characters somehow doesn't work very well.

Art by Jackson Guice from Doctor Strange #21, September 1990.

Guice's art is just all over the place during this run, and I'm generally putting up with it, but this stopped me dead in my tracks: this just has to be super-duper heavily photo-referenced (unflatteringly so, too). I could swear I've seen this face before, and I know Guice got stung for using a picture of Amy Grant on the cover of an earlier issue of Doctor Strange, so...?

Guice's strongest part of his Action Comics run was always his character faces and expressions. I wonder if he was doing it then as well.

A good comparison but be fair, Leifeld was tracing other's work before anyone knew who Greg Land was. And before Greg Land became Greg Land he was tracing full panels from other artists. Scott McDaniel wanted to kill him for years.

He laughs. The line goes dead.
Guice is a really interesting artist these days. I'm not sure when I started paying attention to him again but he's clearly been thinking about how to tell a story and how the reader's eyes move across the page - he doesn't always have the skill to land his tricks but his work on Winter Soldier in particular was pretty baller. He's a bit like modern Deodato but he's got a way better understanding of comics.

Yeah, and that's the reason I almost didn't post it: it feels a little unfair to bring up art that's literally twenty years old when the artist is still working and demonstrably better at his craft. The weird thing is that, around the time that this was published, I thought Jackson Guice was amazing based entirely on the pair of Nick Fury issues he worked on that I owned. And his work on covers back in the early 90s (Amy Grant notwithstanding) is just far and away better than his interiors, no matter who seemed to be inking him (even himself), so I don't know what was going on there, apart from a heavy workload and/or lazy editorial and/or whatever.

But yeah, I've just read through a period during which all of Strange's lady-friends hung around the Sanctum in ruffly swimsuits and lingerie, striking winsome catalog-model poses at the fourth wall, and it was distracting as hell.

Does anybody have any scans from "The Wake"? Sean Phillips is on the art and holy poo poo is it good.

It's also very well colored, pretty much the opposite of the garish gradients this thread was talking about earlier.

[edit] Guh, I meant Sean Murphy, sorry about that. Still a fantastically well-drawn book.

If this wasn't 1990 I would have fully bet on this being Penelope Cruz.

It just seemed so on the nose that I couldn't imagine someone writing it seriously. I guess I still haven't lowered by expectations enough.

Is The Wake good beyond being amazing to look at, because if it is I absolutely need to get it.

The Wake is drawn by Sean Murphy (Joe the Barbarian, Batman Black Mirror), not by Sean Phillips (Criminal, Fatale dude), know your Seans! :v:

for content - something screams and dies inside me when I see another complaint about how much Howard Chaykin sucks - that started back when his diehard fans Bendis and Fraction invited him to draw some guest-star issues on their Marvel comics. Modern coloring fucks his art up horribly, and, to be honest, he has not upped his game, but he deserves way more credit. Some amazing vintage Chaykin (with Bruzenak lettering on that Shadow page):
