I think it adds dimension to the image. The whirlwind in the background should be out of focus, though by that logic the city should be blurred as well.

Is comic book dialogue nowadays that melodramatic, or is does it make more sense in context? Because man, that's some bona-fide Silver-Age melodramatic hamminess there! Lovely! :allears:

Not unless you're Thor. And no, it doesn't really make that much sense. The context is Supergirl basically got killed but her consciousness survived inside a planet made of nanobots and, beating the odds, she's reconstructing a giant body for herself. I guess that tends to make one start to power trip and talk really melodramatically.

When I read that dialogue, I had thought that Supergirl had been possessed by some bombastic cosmic entity.

I'm especially concerned about the red patch on her crotch area. It often looks like it could fall off at any moment, like a poorly fitted nappy.

Making Cyborg Superman he father is actually pretty inspired. Much better than a Reed Richards knockoff.

It doesn't look like motion blur, it looks as though she was melting. She has melty bits above her shoulders and head, in addition.

Take a look around the vortex. The art absolutely has a terrible, useless filter over it.

Making him Brainiac's bitch is also pretty good. It makes Brainiac less of a collector-cataloguer robot, though.

Also, MaleGaze and all, but them's some superthighs. I'm kind of glad she's not being portrayed as the superwaif from Superman/Batman.

Just posted some great bad art on my blog, figured I'd share here. Art from Avengers Unplugged #1, art by MC Wyman, words by Glenn Herdling:

Count Nefaria rip-off (and the original Moonstone) "Nefarius" attacks the Jury, trying to get to Moonstone:



He finds her in a swimsuit (obviously):



Hercules to the rescue, changing outfits panel to panel:



Full review here: http://thepouchfiles.blogspot.com/2013/10/review-avengers-unplugged-1.html

Cronin over at CBR did a pretty detailed look at issue #2, which featured an even bigger continuity issue: http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2009/04/08/my-favorite-mid-90s-marvel-comic-screw-up/

True, and you at least didn't post Liefeld, but 90s art was so widely bad that it cannot shock me anymore. These days, by comparison, comic book art is very good, and I'd rather see recent efforts that either fall below or above current standards.

It's just the perspective. Hey, it looks like he's trying to fire two arrows at once, and his bow has no string.

How is Ra's blocking Starfire's bolts with his bare hands? Does the Lazarus Pit do that?

Again, it's just perspective plus the water that's skewing your perception.

Gah, I absolutely hate the New 52 Starfire. It's like they deliberately wanted to differentiate their version from the TV cartoon version in the most vulgar and unimaginative way.

Really? his leg left looks more like a stump, the odd angle of his hips and legs could be perception, though.
