No, there really is a little dude with - uh - quite a Waldo-like expression, look between the two tanks. I'm sure that's just what it is.

e: He's even waving :3:

His expression looks just like the other 2 soldiers just to the right and above him, and I think he's flailing, not waving.

But there are two other soldiers with the same face nearby up and to the right. Just seems like anyone not in an Iron Man suit is cartoonier than you might expect.

I have always thought Kaare Andrews was a good artist. Sure he experiments with different styles so you can go from this:



or this



to something like this:



which is pretty freaking bad.

All in all his covers are usually visually stunning and interesting while his interiors can be....hard to look at I guess. Anyway, some promo stuff for his Iron Fist series has come out and I might just have to change my opinion about his interiors.

Not really bad art so much as "ha ha this is stupid, huh?" but the colorist for this week's All-Star Western apparently forgot that Jonah Hex fought for the CSA and decided to draw him in blue for half the issue.

That kind of style was all over Marvel in the late 1990s but I'm not sure how to describe it; I'm thinking of stuff like Salvador Larocca and then Carlos Pacheco on Fantastic Four, Alan Davis and Chris Bachalo on X-Men and so on. It sort of occupied the space after the x-treme nineties style going out of fashion, but before Ultimates made the "cinematic" style popular.

I guess I sort of like it, even though those particular covers are a bit dumb-looking. :shrug:

Funny, because flipping is exactly what happened to the panel - his mole moved as well. That's not an art error, it's an editing error and the editor is a fuckwit.

No, it's a huge error. It's not a problem for the story or anything, but it's visually disruptive. An entire panel is backwards. It's not like something like an object in the background shifted or a pouch was on the wrong side of a costume.

It's really obviously incorrect and so it's pretty jarring when reading it. His mask was like that since the beginning of that issue, and then suddenly it's flipped. In fact it looks like the whole panel was flipped. Even the mole on his face is on the wrong side. So someone deliberately flipped it! What the hell?

That image turns into a Giger image the more I look at it. It's just so full of "What's that? Why is it here? Are those aliens, metal bars, and lots of mostly naked/in skin-tight clothes females? Is it supposed to be a reference?"

It's almost genius in it's shear awfulness.

This just reminded me that I have some weird Guardians of the Galaxy art on my computer. This is from Guardians of the Galaxy #9:



What the hell is this? This issue had multiple art teams I think, and whenever it cut back to these characters this same team was doing the art and making everybody look weird. Is there a story behind why this looks so awful?

Regular artist falls behind, they have to pull in somebody to finish the issue to get it out on time. Happens all the time.

Same. I would have thought that they'd have at least some standard design that artists have to work off of, but I like that nobody really gives a poo poo and just draws and colors Rocket however they want.

Ah, the time Bachalo started drawing everyone to look like they were 9 years old--it's actually pretty surprising how different the beginning of his Generation X run looks (beautiful, amazing) compared to when he left it (eh). I didn't like this era of Bachalo's art too much, but he still knew what he was doing and put out good looking monthlies.

My favorite part of the end of his GenX run is that the last page he drew is half-taken up by a self-portrait attached to a giant parachute, flying away.

I was going through Age of Apocalypse over the weekend and got to Generation Next, which was a Bachalo issue, and I could not have guessed that it was by him unless you pointed it out beforehand. I'm not a fan of his work on Uncanny, but goddamn I do have to give him credit for almost entirely reinventing his own style, although obviously the colouration is a big part of that, too.

Seconded, Bachalo is one of my favorites despite his inconsistent habits. If you're taking the Jubilee cover as a serious attempt to make her a 90's-style badass.... I don't even know.

Edit: Dodson isn't GOOD but gratuitous cleavage doesn't automatically make art bad. It's just completely forgettable (especially compared to Jubilee as a Liefeldian caricature which I kind of love.)

I guess that was the peak of manga-influence in American superhero comics, what with guys like Bachalo, Joe Mad and a few others.

Curiously enough, I've seen the Howard Porter and John Dell's work on JLA from around the same timeframe put in the same category. I guess I could kind of see it if JLA had been more brightly coloured?

I don't think Jubilee was ever a bad-rear end. In the GenX run, she got about a half-dozen makeovers by different artists. She looks about ten years old here.

As for the tits, have there been many comic women with "normal" busts?
