God, I'm so tired. What the hell did I post last night?

Ok that makes more sense, although I'll maintain that the orange-white bolts underneath him don't really work at all. I'm not well-versed enough in fine art to know if that's a mistake of perspective or not, but it seems like one to me. Even with a transparent platform causing some level of refraction it seems to me that the artist can't decide if the energy bolts are akin to a tunnel (which doesn't quite visually work given how close Luthor is), or more of a classic 2D starburst pattern.

There is definitely something weird with the way his legs are positioned--it almost looks like he's got an extra joint in his thighs or something.

You know this thread is hard up for terrible art when we start nitpicking like it's the Buckley thread.

How about some Marvel Mangaverse Ghost Riders?!


How do you like re-used art? Well this comic isn't shy about it! The bottom two panels on that second page might even be re-using the head from the first, but this isn't even every example.



Now how about ugly, clashing CG backgrounds and skulls? Everyone likes those.

Those first three pages, if done by a better writer and actual artist, could actually be pretty funny.

Seriously, what's going on in DC Comics these days? Are they just cashing in on the movies and letting bunch of demented schizophrenic hobos run their comics business or...

I just checked and both art and writing are by Chuck Austen. I feel kind of bad for him right now.

This just came up in a preview of the next Thor, featuring old man King Thor battling Galactus on a dried-up, ruined far future Earth.

A dusty haze and a glowy giant robot man make for good art.

I used to think Galactus was pretty dopey looking. In the last few years he has become one of my favorite characters.

Though it was asinine in the second FF movie, I've more and more found myself liking when artists depict Galactus as difficult to visualize in tangible terms. It really reinforces his "force of nature" style.

I like when artists can convey the unimaginable scale of Galactus. The haziness and coloring really work there.

I also like him being a dude with a funny hat.

Guillem March just posted on his blog unused pages from Catwoman 03 where Selina figures out Batman secret and goes naked on Wayne's manor courtyard.

I like the way March draws but that Selina really creeped me out :stare:

it was a nice post,

This thread is pretty old.

But rather than start a new one I think it's time that we split this thread into two new ones.

One for the most ~terrible~/awful comic art, maybe even worse than the most feared Liefeld~ and another for the best/greatest art around.

For as long as this thread is I don't think we've managed to scrape the beginnings of truely terrible or great art and separating may just be thing to remove having to balance the thread.

you make a good point but it is also having great art right next to horrible poo poo to better contrast the merits of both.

There's just so much crap that goes up weekly that I think we could do with delving into more awfulness.

For example this is just from scanning this week's new on Comixology.
