She's not the personification of Death, she's just a figment of Thanos' imagination.

Although I can indeed read the thread title, I feel inclined to post this Rob Liefeld cover I have never seen before; I'm actually surprised it isn't on either of the Progressive Boink lists of his worst drawings:

Enough sideburns to last a lifetime.
This is a little weird, but one of my favourite graphic novels has to be Fabian Göranson's Inferno, and a lot of that comes from the art. It's really odd-looking (to the point where his human figures are really distorted and cartoon-y), but it captures the feel of the original text. For context, it's based off of a semi-autobiographical book by August Strindberg - he took portions of his personal journal, re-arranged them to have a sort of plot, and then released it to the public. It's a wonderful portrait of a man's mental breakdown in the streets of Paris.









I feel like it almost fits both categories in the thread - the figures are pretty crude and simplistic, but it matches the tone of the work really well. It also has some pretty weird-looking drawings, but the use of colour and shading always struck me as fantastic. I figure he's not exactly the most well-known

That's actually Feral, not Wolfsbane. After Wolfsbane was written out of the series in X-Tinction Agenda, I guess Liefeld decided he needed a new wolf/cat/whatever character.

The background makes this physically painful to look at, beyond even what Liefeld could manage.

The slightest touch from a Gol-Shogeg will result in Instant Death!
The thing that gets me is Shatterstar(?)'s double bladed sword, whose blades are apparently at completely the wrong angle compared to the handle. We should be seeing them edge-on that this point.

Meanwhile, since someone posted the last issue of Liefeld's New Mutants, perhaps we could get away with posting the first issue of his X-Force? A 2-page spread, wherein Cable is an angry box with legs...

7 characters. 0 feet. It's kinda marvelous how he does that.
Also, under Feral's right armpit, what is that? Different coloured smoke? Someone's leg? Inter dimensional transportation?

I have a weird suspicion that it was meant to be Cable's leg, but he gave up halfway through.

I also like that there is no indication of Shatterstar bending/leaning over because it looks like he has no midsection at all. Like, his ribcage directly connects to his hips.

One of the things that always baffles me with Liefeld's guns, being someone who knows his way around a firearm, is this:

What the gently caress is all that space for? The man draws a gun twenty times the necessary size.

It's Cable's leg.

I love Liefeld covers like this. It's a moebius strip of bad. Just when you think you've found it all (Cable's thalidomide flipper-leg) you see something else that makes it even better (Warpath's fringe making it look like Shatterstar's getting his nuts tickled).

Mignola has a lot of issues he has stated that he hates drawing technically stuff like cars for example. He really strikes me as a kinda lazy artist who doesn't seem like he wants to develop himself.

I wouldn't say that as you can definitely see an improvement over the years. He has definitely refined his style. poo poo, if I could draw like Mignola does now I'd sit back and say "Yeah, job done, I rule"

I'm really glad I'm not the only one to notice his laziness. Pretty much every humanoid non-human monster it seems like he's drawn in the BPRD universe has the exact same face, for instance. I think he's an incredibly interesting writer, but I wish he would at least try for variety in his images.

Has Dido ever gone on record on the DC Animated Universe such as Justice League. It seems like a lot of what made the cartoons enjoyable is what DC is running away from or actively burying. I know I grew up with a lot of people who see Wally West as the Flash and Jon Stewart as the Green Lantern because of Justice League. And when you say Lex Luthor chances are people hear Clancy Brown in their heads.
