Yes, his first appearance is 2001 #8, and then after #10, Kirby moved right over to write and draw Machine Man #1-9.

That's why I preferred Dredd to The Raid. There's no faffing around with fancy martial arts; Dredd just shoots people until he runs out of ammo, only resorting to brutally beating them to death in order to get more ammo.

While I like both movies, I prefer The Raid more just because they started using bullets first and then resorted to crazy martial arts second.

Dredd has way too much CGI in it for me, plus it has the unfortunate stain of being way too close in plot and setting to The Raid. Awesome physical stunts and choreography beats CGI any day.

I love both equally - just think of them as movies in the same mini-genre, not as one ripping off the other. Other notable ones are the last section of Punisher: War Zone, Assault on Precinct 13 (the 1976 version), and the French movie The Nest (which is basically a French remake of Precinct 13 but in a warehouse).

The Raid 2 was disappointing though. No idea why they just decided to make a bog-standard martial arts movie as the sequel. :(

It's actually the other way round; Gareth Edwards heard about Dredd when he was making The Raid and thought "poo poo, we'd better get out first". Which he did. But neither movie was influenced by the other.

Also you're totally wrong about Dredd.

The Raid 2 has one of the best car chase scenes in recent memory, I recommend it based on that alone.

The Raid 2 was a good action movie padded out with a little too much plot and dialogue. It's definitely worth watching, but it gets better the second time around when you know which parts to fast forward through.

Raid 2 has action scenes that are just as good/better than the first movie, but sadly they are attached to a movie with an over-bloated storyline. It was almost like over compensation of plot between the first one and the second one.

Maybe it was the fact that I watched The Raid in HD at home, and The Raid 2 in an older theater, but but I found the action scenes jittery and hard to follow in The Raid 2 - they also gave my wife motion sickness. I hope to watch it again in better quality later (fast-forwarding past the uninspired crime drama parts of course).

Also why call it The Raid 2 when there wasn't a raid :mad:

It appears, from context, that that page is from Fantastic Four Unlimited #3, September, 1993.

The credited penciler is - I poo poo you not - Herb Trimpe.

There was a rumor for many years that he was doing it because Marvel insisted he ape Liefeld's style, but it turns out Trimpe just felt like doing it (and regarded it as his best work for some baffling reason):

quote:

I’ve been asked that question before, with some fans going so far as to feel sorry for the way Marvel made me change my style. Unfortunately, these were misdirected sympathies.

Truth was, it was a lark–but a lark with a purpose, all devised by myself. No one at Marvel suggested I change the way I draw or ink. I looked at the new guys’ stuff, and thought, hey, this is great. Very exciting. You can always learn from somebody else, no matter how long you’ve been doing a thing.

I did, however, think the style might lead to new work at a time when Marvel was already in trouble, and it did. FF Unlimited was my last series at Marvel, and contrary to what a lot of fans think, I think it was the best work I’d done–and, I had a whole lot of fun doing it. Very expressive. I think the newer influences in comic book art brought out a better me. Like I said, most of the fans of the earlier stuff would not agree. On one occasion, I inked a whole story with a brush, which is what I was raised on, and the editor objected asking me not to do that anymore. But in general, no one pressured me into a change.
