Don't they only invite people that are on the big name books that usually tie in to big events?

Unless the likes of Skottie Young have been doing big event books for the last while, no.

Drawing cute versions of stuff his Skottie Young's entire schtick. I like some of his stuff, like the Spidey cover where Deadpool xtreme 90's him up, but every single "big" issue has to have some SY variant. So I'm sick of it!!

The babies shtick has gotten old, but SY has done so many other great covers, and has such a cheery and distinct style, that it is really a shame that he's mainly known for the baby covers. Aside from The Wizard of Oz stuff, which isn't really my thing, I don't know if he's illustrated many other comics.

If you haven't read his Oz stuff I strongly suggest you give it a try. I never got to read any Oz stuff as a kid, and his books are my main only real intro besides the movies and I love em to death. At the very least the first two storylines are some of the funnest stuff I have read in a while, and I will forgive Skottie Young a thousand variant covers that I wont ever have to see unless i choose to, as long as he keeps churning out great comics.

Lee & Kirby FF is terrific, but I wouldn't look askance at anybody who can't get into it. Superhero comics have refined themselves a lot-- in good ways and bad ways-- and the nascent formulation of a lot of the grammar of the genre in the early 60's can be a little wild and wooly in retrospect. If somebody digs Hamlet I'm not going to assume they'll love Thomas Kyd or, god forbid, Seneca. That being said, how on earth do you people not like Cervantes.

Doctor Spaceman posted:After 150 pages of the two leads getting repeatedly beaten up because of stupid misunderstandings I got bored. But even that first, picaresque volume has a lot of amazing stuff in it. The riffing on Ovid, the Cardenio interpolation, etc. And if I concede that the first volume can be sort of repetitive, I really, really recommend pushing through to part two, which is already so canny about how novels will come to work, and how they produce affect. The slapstick tricks and violence of volume one are twisted into the more developed, more acutely cruel and mean-spirited long-form prank of the Duchess and the Duke. The same little incidences we laughed at or yawned at in volume one suddenly sting quite sharply because, somehow, Cervantes discovered how to make picaresque figures into what we can recognize as actual characters with some measure of psychological verisimilitude. It gets astonishingly sad, which is all the more astonishing because, yes, parts of volume one make it feel like the novel as a concept is sort of a limited project, specially designed for wringing out a certain kind of rough chuckle. Plus, Sancho Panza gets to be a governor and there's one amazingly haunting bit where Quixote goes down into a cave and sees a vision which is completely unlike any of his other delusions throughout the rest of the story. It's legit probably one of my top ten scenes in world literature. Edit: Another tip for people for whom the bulkiness of DQ volume 1 is offputting or tiresome, try giving his novella The Dialogue of the Dogs a shot, and if you like that, dip your toes in Exemplary Novels.

I'm still on volume 1 of Don Quixote and I have been loving it from page 1. I don't mind repetition if the repetition is good, and my translation is extremely readable.

After this issue of Powers, I think I'm also done with this series. It really lost it's charm long ago and I'm only buying it out of habit. It hasn't been a book I looked forward to reading in a long, long time.

I can't say I'm too interested in Multiversity, but I enjoyed the first issue of Annihilator more than anything Morrison's done in years.

It's not out till November. I loved a lot about Pretty Deadly so with Emma and Kelly Sue both having their own projects coming out in the near enough future I'm interested to see where each go given the experience of their first "big" indie book. Especially given that Brandon Graham seems to be pushing Emma to Image hard and they're letting her do her thing.

Ahaha, I've been had! I got started on 'Marshal Law' for a lark. I was expecting some funny yet bland ultra violence version of Dredd. Why didn't anyone tell me it was illustrated by O'Neill?! The first four issues had me just reading somewhat, OK, funny. Then I got into #5 and went '...wait a minute', and after that the two last ones slammed it home! I'm going to read it again, there are TONS of stuff I remember that can prescribe the story, but you don't know it before halfway. Color Theory is abundant. So much more is also there. Kevin O'Neill's art was strange at first, but when it sat in, it was perfect! No one else could have done that angular stylistic drawings that the story needed better. Very satisfying ending, it's one of those things you have to read/watch through twice to get all the references that were there from the start. ubergnu fucked around with this message at 14:51 on Sep 13, 2014 |

That first Marshal Law miniseries is loving awesome. The rest aren't quite as good, but still fun and O'Neill's art remains great.
