I'm a big fan of "acting" in comic books (especially when it's masked characters like Spider-Man) and the first issue of Captain America And The Mighty Avengers has some pretty good comic book performing as Peter tries to explain Spock to Luke Cage. Getting some Kevin Maguire vibes from this. But then the rest of the issue is a sort of Greg Land lite monstrosity of possibly traced, sorta dull and flat-looking photorealist art by Luke Ross. Also the shadows are all really odd and make it look like everything's happening at dusk and every single scene is backlit.

"Acting" in comic books is one of my pet peeves because its always hammy and overdone. If a real person emoted that much during the course of a short conversation, you'd think he was absolutely insane.

One thing about Spider-Man is that he always comes off as completely hyperactive to me. He's stuck to a wall. He's walking on the ceiling. He's waving his hands around and talking a million miles a minute. I could totally believe he emotes that much because he's the superhero who's defining feature is that he acts like he's just drunk a dozen energy drinks.

I always meant to check to see how this page from Thor 362: looked in the recolored Thor omnibus, and seeing it posted in the Badass thread recently made me go look. I regret everything!  Yes yes, Steve Oliffe is a good colorist, but look at that poo poo. A basic-bitch gradient background smothered by a mass of even more gradients, that also manage to convey no sense of mood whatsoever except maybe "busy". That beautiful stark yellow and red contrast, directly opposed to each other, which just through the use of two colors solidifies the sense of a single, vulnerable man (he's effectively transparent!) versus a full, solid swarm of an army? Fuckin' wrecked. edit: and just look how well the deep red skull, spear and outstretched arm originally popped against that yellow.

Fuckin' wrecked. Maybe it's just the scan, but it doesn't look like the reproduction is doing John Workman's lettering any favors either. Making the lines crisper makes the letters thin and lacking the same personality that the printed comic had. I'm assuming that the lower boxes looking washed out is just from a bad scan, but if not, that's really bad.

If the Big Two would release scanned back issues on comiXology, they would get so much more of my money than they do now. The recolored version of Amazing Fantasy #15 was interesting, but all their reprints of the Marvel Masterworks look like crap. They literally look like traces of the originals and it makes Kirby and Ditko look like they couldn't draw. I've rebought a few things, like the Roger Stern Spider-Man/Juggernaut story, but I know that that's not how those comics were supposed to look. Even when the line reproduction is pretty good, the colors are way over-saturated and the solid blocks of color look really weird without the ben-day dots. They did it once with the series DVDs that they released, so I don't know why they couldn't do it again, preferably this time without a big "@2005 Marvel" watermark on every page.
