I have yet to see a Humberto Ramos page where at least 50% of the characters hadn't had something go horribly wrong with their limbs and face.

I was just thinking this page is probably the least deformed thing Ramos has drawn in the last decade or so.

I used to be a really big fan of his back when he was doing Impulse at DC. It's pretty sad to see what he's doing these days. He just fuckin' lost control at some point.

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.
Near the end of Morrison's New X-Men, during the "Here Comes Tomorrow" alternate-future arc, it was revealed that Ernst was a mentally shackled Cassandra Nova in the body of that alien biocomputer shapeshifter thing named "Stuff".


(New X-Men #153)

This was later contradicted in Whedon's Astonishing X-Men when we see that Nova/Stuff has been in a very tightly locked box in the mansion, and used Kitty to escape.


(Astonishing X-Men #17)

So the answer to "who is Ernst" is a typical X-Men continuity snarl.

I am offended by your ham, sir.
Ernst was part of the special class in Spider-Man and the X-men, which you should read if you haven't because it was basically perfect. Ernst was the traitor Spidey was brought in to look for, but she was just trying to help her BFF Martha the Floating Brain get a body, so her only punishment for selling the school out to Sinister was detention.

I loved how hanging out with Spidey did wonders for him as a person, they really should do another series of him as one of the school teachers.

Ol' Peter Parker is a good dude to learn from, before it got drowned out with "Cyclops was technically in a roundabout way right!" AvX revealed that hanging with Spider-Man was apparently the missing ingredient in keeping Phoenix hosts from gluing crab legs on whales and nuking solar systems on a bad hair day.

But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Likchenpa.
Does Frank Miller have a slow stroke every time he draws now? Has he become so wizened and crippled that his drawing hand looks like a skeksis claw?

It's got more personality in it than the main book will probably have with Andy Kubert's interiors instead of Frank's.
Obviously he wouldn't have been able to keep up with that and it'd be far less palatable to the public, but I think it's a shame.

Yeah, turns out having to adhere to Marvel's house style and express yourself in the margins so-to-speak, instead of two decades of "Do whatever you want O' the Frank Miller of Daredevil, TDKR, Sin City, and 300! We would not dare constrain your genius!" produces way better work from an artist like Miller.

Fact is some artists really shouldn't be un-leashed for too long. Give them a standard to work around and "rebel" against, and you'll see some amazing stuff.
