The one with Howard The Duck and Machine Man is fun, and yeah, the original one is amusing.

I remember before the series came out, Kirkman did an interview with Rue Morgue where he brought up what he originally planned for the series. Apparently it was initially plotted as having Luke Cage being in a "Last Man on Earth" scenario, with his skin being zombie teeth proof. Then Kirkman realized tha Cage was already shown zombified in UFF, so had to completely rewrite the story after being given the go-ahead. They also teased us by showing the first couple pages without dialogue, which came off far eerier.

I will never understand Finch's status as 'super star' his women while oversexualized are nice to the view but his men are awful.

The one thing I have hated the most about Finch's art is his faces. Everyone, man and woman, has the same face. It really annoyed my in his Ultimate X-Men run and I can't stand the books he draws because of it.

I remember a promo that he did of the JL and everyguy had the same face, it was kind of eerie. Actually, a lot of DC artists had the same problem: as much as I like Kirkham, Rocafort and Reis, they seems to have only a few faces on their repertoire. Codependent Poster posted:Who is inking him?

I admit that Capullo also does it but the reason I like his style over Fincher any day is because Capullo is a lot more cartoonish. I can accept the flaw in something like a cartoon where every character has the same chine or eyes or whatnot but with Fincher he goes for a more photorealistic style and then it looks like he uses the same model for every character he draws regardless of sex, race, and age.

Look at the tied up guy in the first shot:  What initially drew my eye was how the hell he was supposed to be vertical when he was being carried like that, then I saw it - he's cut and pasted on! Look at how tied up guy's left shoulder doesn't have any outline and was just glued on top of Not-a-Robin's arm.

I'm curious to know what the other end of Nightwing's rope is attached to. He's swinging over rooftops. Is there a skyscraper in the middle of those smaller buildings? This is an issue that crops up a lot in Spider-Man.

Nightwing loves to swing from buildings like Spider-Man, but how many ropes can he carry? He doesn't have Spider-Man's webshooters. They can't be his main mode of transportation. Also, Nightwing must have incredibly strong lats if he can hold his arm in that position. This must have been originally a drawing of Nightwing vaulting over a wall or dodging gunfire.

While we're dissecting the dumbness of this page, something just occurred to me: Did Nightwing seriously just carry Mr. Zsasz all the way from Chicago to Gotham on foot/rope?

The PC version of the Spider-Man 2 game had web icons floating above the middle of the street. You had to aim at them with your mouse. It was pretty bad. A neat thing about the open-world Spider-Man games is that your weblines would not fire if you were above the skyline. They still seemed to attach to points in thin air.

For all the times that a comic slipped through because of a penciler/inker/colorist screw-up that could have been fixed in 5-10 minutes in Photoshop (eyes pointing in wrong directions, disproportionate scaling of items, etc.) I'm still surprised it doesn't show up more.

See, I remember Spider-Man 2 on the console requiring you to websling off of real objects. Bruce Campbell made a big deal out of it at the start of the game. Now, those objects could be skyscrapers, antennas, lampposts, the aforementioned passing helicopter... trees if you were in Central Park. I'm sure the game fudged your aim for you but I don't recall the webline anchoring in thin air, unless it was the sort of thing where the helicopter's hitbox extended between its landing skids, so it looked like the line was dangling a foot below the fuselage. Which, given that it was the original Xbox/PS2, is excusable. Webslinging in that game was fun as poo poo.

I never finished it, because I spent so much time just swinging around NYC (actually about 1/4 the size of real NYC, but still huge) kicking the hell out of bad guys. There were helos to get you out to liberty island, but otherwise, it was swing or fall. There were quite a lot of tricks to get you back into swing territory, or about in lower areas (principally, firing a web out and pulling yourself in). It was definitely the best spidey game ever, probably one of the best superhero games in general. But, to get to the point, I'm fairly sure bats and co. use retractable grapples rather than lots of individual ropes. It's still pretty stupid though.

MAN, you know what I hate? This slapped on environmental text in big comic books. Holy poo poo. Almost every newspaper, book cover and gravestone in comics these days is awful with this. I'm guessing the job falls to the letterer and it might be unfair delegation for their skill set, but this stuff should be unacceptable and decried by the artists who's work it's slapped upon. From today's Deadshot villains month issue.

When you think about it, a lot of "city" superheroes have a bizarre ability to just toss/shoot out a rope from ground level yet somehow it turns into a bungee cord and pulls them into the air. Just imagine standing in a city street yourself, tossing a hook up to a building, and then trying to swing. You'll immediately slam your butt into the pavement. Not to mention the strange ability to attach to anything from any angle. Daredevil, the Bat-family, etc. all do this.

Not sure if you're including Spider-Man, since the webbing and his strength make it all very easy, but don't they get around this by using retractable grapples, ropes, etc.? Never mind the insane tech required to fit inside a slim cane, but doesn't Daredevil's billy club fire out a line and also winch him in?

Just imagine standing in a city street yourself, tossing a hook up to a building, and then trying to swing. You'll immediately slam your butt into the pavement. In Spider-man 2, Spidey always takes a bit of a jump before firing a web-line, and he fires it at an angle to give himself momentum to swing (instead of shooting straight up), and even then you can end up skidding along the asphalt if you're too low. His swinging is also affected by where he attaches his web-line in relation to where he is. If you want to swing higher, you have to shoot when you're at the apex of your previous swing, you don't just magically get pulled up higher. The only part where the game cheats is that instead of slamming hilariously into walls like in the first movie, Spidey automatically kicks and pushes at walls to keep himself mobile. I have no idea why they keep making Spider-man games that aren't just Spider-man 2 with better combat.

Because Activision has the license and they just keep pumping out the cheapest, fastest poo poo possible. The last SM game was probably the best since like Web of Shadows, but I still thought it was pretty shallow and rotten for the most part. Beenox just isn't a good developer. They do have more time to work on the next movie game (since one isn't coming out this year), so I hope it improves. But seriously the industry-wide squandering of a gameplay concept as good and as fun as the one from Spider-Man 2 is one of the greatest tragedies in gaming. There's a Kickstarted game by one of the SM2 developers called Energy Hook that looks fun, but I don't know its current status. Edit: Haha, sorry, this totally isn't the games thread.

I remeber some comic where Wolverine and Spider-Man switched bodies went into this a little bit. Wolvy tried web-swinging. Didn't end well because he wasn't keeping momentum. I'm sure it's been addressed at other times as well. quote:I liked this panel from the last Thanos Rising mini. That is Death he's kissing Death is wearing the body of....Moondragon, I think? Why?

I'm not going to post Liefeld, but I do have a question about him. His first work in comics was on Hawk and Dove for DC about twenty-five years ago. I know that Karl Kesel ended up drawing the hands on feet on the characters, but was it a case that he redrew them over Liefeld's pencils, or did Liefeld seriously submit the art without hands or feet and Kesel had to complete them for him (because I've heard that as well)?
