Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

So am I the only one digging the Annie Wu "Black Canary"? Everyone seems to complain about DC house style (which I totally get and agree with), so on a whim I bought it cause I like Canary and thought the cover was pretty bitchin change of pace, and I like to support my fellow women artists.



Nice mix of an indie comic style with traditional flat colors, the interiors are more of the same. Hoping DC picks up more stuff like this.

Oh, yeah, glad you mentioned that. My bf picked up Dr Fate, and I liked that one too. :hfive: I'll check out Hellblazer when I go to get my pulls on Wednesday. I like me some HB from the old gn's I've read (but had heard the Nu52 Constantine title was kinda "meh" so never got into it).

I like Murata's Spider-Island cover a lot more than the RYV one, which is weird because he is so good at drawing things in motion.

And the face isn't even a thing that's rare. Mike Deodato basically fantasy casts all his books, and you get stuff like Tony Stark, Nick Fury and Coulson being drawn to look like RDJ, Sam Jackson and Clark Gregg all the time now.

There's an old story about an identical house showing up in two different books - both artists google image searched "house" and used the first result as reference.

It's a part of the job.

Huh, neat. I'd never heard of Emily Haines, and I'm digging her music so far, so thanks for that! I really like "Doctor Blind". Now If they slip a Doctor Mid-nite cameo into the BC book, that'd be meta as gently caress.

More good art: currently reading the ODY-C tpb, and hot drat is Christian Ward's art blowing my mind. I'm having trouble picking out a panel to post. Just go look at all of it:

How come the Lenil Yu one has trade dress for the current SHIELD book, though?

And I really like the Adventure Comics #247 one in there, mostly because it tells the entire story in two panels/covers. Like, I guarantee you that's exactly what happens in the issue and I haven't read Silver Age Legion for years.

Marvel did a bunch of variant covers last month around that theme. They were pretty good.

She's also an inspiration for Envy Adams from the Scott Pilgrim comics. (And then in the movie, Metric provided the music for Clash at Demonhead.)

I cannot stop looking at these. The lineup of artists he's pulled in to create these is bananas. I can't even imagine what one of these would have cost (e.g. Bolland, Byrne, Colan) much less the entire gallery.

So that's why Envy's blonde in the movie? (It's petty, but I found that so distracting, because the character's look in the books seemed so tied into her attitude that it threw me off)

Using his alias of "Eduardo Barreto", I see.

To answer your question on how much that would cost: anywhere from $300 to $1000 per cover, depending on the artist.
