That's certainly an odd mutation of Purestrain Kirby and Leifeld . Enticing in its unconventional anatomy and expressiveness.

I actually respect Trimpe's attitude despite the less than stellar results. It's cool of him roll with the new rather than just poo poo on it because it's convenient.

Johnny is so jacked he can't even stand. Edit: Hold the loving phone: 1. The first visual of Thing, he's wearing a helmet 2. A close-up of his eyes shows human eyes and human skin behind the helmet 3. The final panel, he has no helmet What reality-shifting version of hell are they in

I get Trimpe saying the new style let in for more expression and whatnot, and the panels definitely aren't static, but expressiveness shouldn't be put in place of coherence.

Art Adams was the first favorite artist I ever had as a kid in the '80s, when I was first starting to recognize styles. Back then, I decided I didn't like Kirby's style from his pinups in Who's Who (I was a kid!), but I liked George Perez's work in Who's Who without having ever read New Teen Titans, and loved Art Adams based on that New Mutants Special and the X-Men Annual that followed, where they all went to Asgard. When the second series of Marvel trading cards from Impel came out, I was overjoyed that so many of them featured Adams' art. Between that, Excalibur: Mojo Mayhem, and the "New Fantastic Four" three-parter, the early '90s were a fun time to be an Adams fan. I even met him at a convention around that time. But after all these years, even though I still love his art, rare as it is, I've never read Longshot. Is it any good, from a modern standard?

I read a safe selection of stuff as a kid: Firestorm, Captain Atom, Teen Titans, X-Factor/Men, Spider-Man, Superman, GI Joe, and Fantastic Four - and didn't happen upon Adams until his run with the "new" FF. His style was so different from everything else, I was an immediate fan.

His personal stuff is disappointing, but I feel like we shouldn't be surprised given his preferred subject matter, I guess.

Had he not ratcheted up the size of Brandy's boobs he wouldn't even be considered that talented. He only got his break into comics because of the cheesecake in the strip. I'm not saying he isn't talented, just that if not for boobs he'd never have developed the skills he has now.

"Baby, I get more rear end than a toilet!" was hilarious to college me. Now, it's just a little annoying when 95% of what he does is the same stuff over and over. I get it, he likes boobgirls in leopard print riding a dinosaur fighting a giant ape. But I'm still confused about what his run on Savage Wolverine was supposed to be. That said, he's good at drawing hulks and Ares and stuff blowing up.

I should still have a Liberty Meadows collection or two -- he's not bad at writing Looney Toons jokes, and he's good at doing that pulp-adventure type of art. I quite enjoyed them. Although when I've read comic books he's drawn, the action seems a little inactive somehow. It's not as bad, but it reminds me of the guy who did all the art for the Marvel Super Heroes role-playing game -- every character he drew looked like they had been posed in perfect stillness.

I really do respect his level of drawing talent, cheesecake or no, but christ that is some 6th grader critical thinking.... which given that he dedicated years of his life to rendering giant tits explains a lot actually.
