Andrea Sorrentino, ex-I Vampire and Green Arrow just finished arting a story across the new Uncanny X-Men and All New X-Men's Annuals. He's wonderful as hell. Little context: Previously, one of the new recruits in Cyclops' new team of X-Men with time stopping power suddenly disappeared and then reappeared noticeably older. The annuals show the time-hopping she went through.      Too bad these three don't exactly line up. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 14:06 on Dec 25, 2014 |

Uh oh here I am to post more Noto stuff. These are his February variants. YES WE ARE AWARE OF THE FACES OK.              My favorites are the Magneto/Emma one and the Banner Time cover.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:i like the Deathlok one and the All-New X-Men one. also, there's a Deathlok comic being published? Pretty sure it's another import from the Agents of SHIELD TV show, as one minor character became (a?) Dethlok on the show. The cover definitely implies that, with a new guy showing signs of Dethlok-iness and a picture of the standard Dethlok covering half his face. Also I think Phil Noto has been getting a lot better with his faces in the last few years. I'd be surprised if he hadn't heard all the criticism from the same crowd that used to bitch incessantly about Quitely's "potato faces."

He was in Agents of SHIELD for like 5 minutes so they gave him a book, I don't think anybody actually reads it though. I like the Cap one and Spider-Man but they'd work better as art pieces rather than covers. Waterhaul fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Jan 6, 2015 |

Speaking of posters this was a blacklight poster that Marvel put out in 1971.

The rest are either fairly new (Ant-Man, Deathlok), or are just fair to mediocre. Or I'm not reading them (I've heard good things about Rocket Raccoon?) Well except for X-Men. X-Men is bad. That said, I'd totally buy that X-Men cover as a print.

He means the Revengers from the Cancerverse. They weren't Satanic but Lovecraftian. They showed up in the Thanos Imperative as the Avengers from the Cancerverse; a universe that basically was one where Cthulhu won.

They were lovecraftian but they had a lot of satanic/occult imagery and looked evil as hell. In that pic I posed you can see the Pentagram on the back of Captain America.

Yeah apparently they defeated death in the Cancerverse, and Captain Marvel was like, hey, you know what's cool? People with lots of angles. Later on, Death was shoved back into this universe, and everyone died, the end.

I have that issue somewhere in my comic long boxes. Sam Keith can be a bit of an acquired taste, and he works best outside of the typical capes and cowls area.

Really if there's one guy in comics you should be able to get away with portraying a hideously mutated musculature, it's the dude on  hypersteroids.

Though it does kinda look like if Bane punched, he'd only barely reach past his own chest. Much more, and he'd have to kool-aid through any door he came across, because he couldn't reach the handle.

I had forgotten just how ridiculous Kelley Jones Bane was. I half expect it was deliberately mocking the character. Jones always had a somewhat cartoonish, exaggerated style but his Bane is on another level.

Edge & Christian posted:I had forgotten just how ridiculous Kelley Jones Bane was. I half expect it was deliberately mocking the character. Jones always had a somewhat cartoonish, exaggerated style but his Bane is on another level. He was brought on to fill in for Sam Kieth, who had been DC's choice for Batman covers around that time but hated the work and was way behind schedule. Kieth's covers at that time veered wildly between "Incredibly Boring":  and "Poor Man's Bill Sienkiewicz":  By the time Kieth quit, DC just needed someone to come in and work fast on the covers with a style that was vaguely comparable to him. As a result, Jones almost never had any idea what was happening in the actual stories in those books and just took it as an opportunity to be as weird as possible: quote:The covers I did were given to me by a strange twist of fate. DC called and asked if I had Sam Kieth’s phone number, which was odd, because Sam is the one who brought me to DC. They wanted him to do the covers for Batman and Detective. I told them that he was an inspired choice. Before too long Sam called me and said he just wasn’t enjoying doing it, and would I pitch in and help him. In a month or so he quit outright telling me he was just freezing up too much. He was way behind, and DC then asked if I would knock out 4 or 5 of them to catch up, and then they would find a permanent cover artist. The public reaction to my stuff was strong, and that I am fast, made them decide to stick with me. I never knew what the stories were about when I drew the covers, just who was in them, as the books were running late. It worked out just great for me, as I was allowed to just draw. Most came out pretty good. And being weird and expressive (at the price of anything like accuracy) was basically always his goal: quote:I took art and a premed courses on anatomy so I could draw everything right. When I got into comics I looked at my printed work, and though technically good, it was without soul. So, when I started trying to draw what I felt, my editors ‘fixed’ my drawing by having the inkers correct what they felt was wrong. When I came to DC, they didn’t mind my style, and actually allowed me to ink my own stuff starting with Deadman. Sam Kieth and I knew each other then, and both found that we were trying to be perfect, like Dave Stevens, rather than uneven and rough like Graham Engels. Over a pizza we both told each other the same desire to be ourselves, and decided to just do it… waiting to be fired.
