Zaffino is the artist, Aja is the cover artist. And it's probably impossible to hate Karnak if you've ever read anything involving the Inhumans. He's great.

Is that the guy that did those amazing Elektra montages/spreads from several pages back? I've been trying to find that dude again and I don't think it's Aja.

The entire Judeo-Christian mythos centres on a benevolent dude writing the laws of the universe to fit what he thinks is best.

Anyway, the point is that if the Avengers hadn't gone in two-fisted thinking Korvac was a villain, they might have been able to reason with him.

That's totally awesome and what I'd do, though I haven't read the story maybe there are details that makes it worse, like with Superboy in Infinite Crisis.

The faces in She-Hulk are undeniably wonky but I find the art style so charming that it was never a dealbreaker at any point. The same goes for almost all of the new Marvel books with unique art styles, these days anything that's not similar to the DC house style with all the gradients is sort of a breath of fresh air in mainstream superhero comics for me.

I actually stopped reading it, then went 'gently caress it' and kept reading. The faces are just so off-putting, but the story is nice and most of the art is charming. It's just those faces, jeeze.

It's always like Superboy in Infinite Crisis. Anyone who's trying to reshape reality into their idea of what's right is either delusional or Doctor Doom.

Some guy did a few fillin issues and his art was even weirder. I'm not a huge fan of that alt-comics zine style, personally. Soule's writing is too good to miss though.

I give Marvel all the credit in the world for trying that style and sticking by it as long as they did, but it's completely understandable why it failed to grab casual audiences. The colors are garish and the faces/eyes are distracting to the casual fan only used to Marvel/DC House styles.

This sounds like a great idea for one of those "villains hanging out and living their lives" books. And most villains don't have their personalities defined that tightly, so you could use a bunch of different ones. Maybe not Fancy Dan and Thanos, but you could still mix-and-match.

It turns in to an episode of the Tick pretty fast, but there's honestly absolutely nothing wrong with that.


My money would be a main cast of Task Master as the Jerry, Deadpool as the Kramer, Electro as their George and Moonstone as the Elaine. Play it as neutral alignments, sometimes they do good, sometimes they don't. Electro being the only one who primarily goes bad, but have him dealing with his overbearing bosses from the Sinister Six and his constant and bizarre hatred of the Shocker. Task Master is the straightman trying to get work while Deadpool's entire ability to live somewhere that isn't a gutter remains a mystery to the whole team, throw in some get rich quick schemes for him ranging from assassinating Doom to selling Cut Co's new line up of ninja swords and trench knives. Moonstone is the only one in the group with steady work but has an idiot boyfriend the others trick in to doing heavy lifting type work for ala Puddy, I'd say Juggernaut or Strong Guy.

Have the series go more and more off the rails until it ends with Deadpool looking at a snow globe while Task Master explains to him why he won't rent an apartment with him, so nothing has to be canon.

So I'm reading the last arc of God of Thunder and am just stunned by how beautiful the future stuff involving Galactus is. I love Ribic, but how much of the art is down to Ive Svorcina? The colors and lighting are just amazing and is that solely the purview of the colorist or what? Honestly, I've always just kind of cared about pencils, but I realize that I probably shouldn't be ignoring colors and inks.

Ribic did his first comics in fully-painted art and they looked even better, check out his Loki mini.

Pencilers can, and often do, indicate how things should be inked and colored, though it is still up to the inker and colorist if those are followed.

The big thing is that bad inkers and colorists are a lot more obvious than good ones.
