Those Avengers 99 panels are inked (probably finished, honestly) by Tom Sutton, who generally worked in a pretty cartoony style and went a little wonky when he tried to do "serious" superheroes sometimes. Not defending this particular art, but I'm guessing it was a styles clash possibly mixed with a rush job. There wasn't a consistent pencil/inker on Avengers for like a year there, and when BWS is allowed to pencil and ink himself the next issue (not for the whole issue, but for a few pages, it's a big improvement.

Weird, I hate the linework on the anatomy of the characters so very much, but I love how they're all staged, especially that vintage-looking Hulk under the tree.

I like the Windsor-Smith issue of X-Men (Uncanny #205) where Wolverine goes feral while fighting Lady Deathstrike and the Reavers in Central Park at night during a snowstorm. That's a pretty good issue.

TwoPair posted:Holy poo poo. I think... I think I have to start reading this comic... It's... very special. It's co-written by Mick Foley, but each four issues is its own thing. The first arc is about reimagining all the wrestlers as crime noir characters. Randy Orton is a mobster trying to become district attorney, John Cena is a cop who just got out of prison after being convicted of a crime he didn't commit, CM Punk and Daniel Bryan are anarchists trying to take down the system, the Shield as corrupt cops, etc. The gimmick gets old by the third issue, there are way too many characters and the art suddenly gets terrible during the last issue (the artist from most of the above images fills in for several pages), but it's not the worst. The second arc is the worst. That artist takes over for a story about Bryan, Punk and Mysterio having destroyed the backstage area and having no memory of their actions. They have two hours to uncover the mystery or they'll be fired. Might have been okay if it wasn't for some of the laziest art I've ever seen. They're one issue into the new storyline, which has MUCH better art (not perfect, but really fitting for the story being told), is about some mysterious force capturing wrestlers from different points in history and forcing them to fight it out for the sake of entertainment. Daniel Bryan and 1986 Roddy Piper sneak away and try to figure out what's going on. The issue features Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin teaming up to fight robot pirates, so it has that going for it.

I've looked at all the Comixology previews and I think the one I'd read is the arc with the ridiculous bad art (with those painted opening pages for contrast.) That's part of the fun.

Teenage Fansub posted:I wanna see an issue just in that blue sketch stage. I almost like that the most. Seconding this. I love watching the art evolve. They should publish one in blue lines and let fans ink them. I remember doing this in "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way" a long time ago. My friend and I would take turns inking John Buscema and Jack Kirby. funtax posted:Still from 66, but inks by Smith himself: What's wrong with that?

They retell a movie the main character starred in and follow on from each other, so you don't need to follow the whole series.

  What the...They've clearly redrawn photos. I appreciate the reasoning, at least in the case of the Hulkster. I...I don't know, man. It's good reproduction, though I don't have an eye for such things. But hell, tracing and other borrowing has been mocked here. But it's not stealing if it's in-house stuff and deliberate(Probably there's those pictures on the damm walls, though I imagine he never looked that good even in the photos). I...Feel weird, and dumb. I don't know what I'm talking about, I think. The thing just confuses me.

 This is a page from Green Lantern 35. It's one of the most underwhelming fight scenes ever in a Green Lantern book. These red guards just stand in a line and tap the Lanterns' constructs with their staves.

Not defending the art (Billy Tan ain't no Doug Mahnke), but it seems like that's the point of the scene?

It's fine to have some foe whup the Lanterns' asses (that happens a lot these days; the GLs are becoming jobbers), but it's not fine to have such bland action. If you have a space battle between cosmic foes you expect something more dramatic than this.

I'd say the problem isn't even the concept but the panel layout there. The midpoint of the page should be the bottom, and the lineup of guards neutralizing the Green Lanterns should be like a larger horizontal spread across two pages showing the "wave" crashing against the "rocks". It shouldn't be a splash page, but it should definitely take up at least the top third of two pages to properly convey the scale and sense of motion. As it stands it just looks really static and bland.
