Noto's art makes me smile uncontrollably just looking at it. He's a former Disney animator who used to live here in Orlando and do a lot of signings at the local comic shops. I love how he draws inspiration from retro movie posters, album covers, fashion illustration, and advertising, as opposed to so many other comic artists who have only been influenced by other comic artists. His women are suitably gorgeous, but I love that he can draw people in nice CLOTHING, as opposed to the usual skin-tight, painted-on costumes.

I like everything about Noto's art except his faces. Which is to say he draws two: male and female.

I mean I get why and it's not uncommon for most comic artists, but it stands out a bit with him because the rest of his style is so individualized from drawing to drawing.

WWE Superstars is drawn by a guy named Puste who is so bad that I was able to make a top 10 list out of a single issue.

I don't think Frank Miller's 80's stuff gets enough love. At the time, I remember disliking his stuff because it didn't look real enough and that's all I cared about then but his work on Daredevil, Ronin and the Dark Knight Returns is really loving great. So is his Sin City stuff but for different reasons. I'm lukewarm on the stories but I love the way he defines shapes, light and texture without drawing lines around everything. He seems to have gotten sloppier as he's aged but the way he composed panels on a page and could tell a story without even having to read it was pretty revolutionary. I'm coming up short finding good examples of it though.

I used to have every issue of Marvel's G.I. Joe and Transformers series, but I never would have sought out this new book if not for Scioli's art in the FCBD issue. I can't stop looking at his layouts, and he's obviously a big fan of both properties. Since then, I checked his American Barbarian book out from the public library, and it's definitely required reading if you like his art here. Was Godland any good? I'm sure his art is pretty, but is it a worthwhile read?

Have you read American Barbarian or any of Tom Scioli's other stuff? It sounds like he kind of idolizes Kirby and has consciously pushed himself to draw similarly. I don't think it's accurate to call it a parody when that is all he does, and it's not meant in jest or mockery. E: The coloring in TF vs Joe does remind me a lot of the 80's comics, but the linework is all Tom's style. Phy fucked around with this message at 17:31 on Jul 25, 2014 |

You don't get that good at aping the old master's style unless you've got an irrational boner for the guy. I was more referring to the TF vs Joe comic as a kind-of parody of 80s style comics. That said yeah it's not fair to call him a parody if that's his genuine style, which I wasn't aware of. Great artist though. I wish him the best.
