I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


That's one of the least visually dull ones, too. Bad minimalist posters are a modern plague.

I love the way he draws Thanos eyes.

Even though I like Thanos in all the Hickman stuff, the way he's drawn in those books is always so dull to me. In almost every single panel in Infinity Gauntlet he has this mad passion to him just waiting to be unleashed, it's the main thing that keeps him from just being a Darkseid clone, but in Infinity and Secret Wars he's closer to just being this stoic dour man mountain which isn't particularly evocative

Keep in mind Ron Lim penciled the back half of Infinity Gauntlet. As much as I love George Perez, I think Lim brought just a little more more to Thanos.

Some talented fellow named George Caltsoudas has created posters for the first 15 episodes of B:TAS, and they are really well done (I think the Two-Face companion posters are quite nice.)

Part 1 (eps 1-9)

Part 2 (eps 10-15)

Sounds as if he's going to keep going, too.

These are great. However, I would really like to see something like his for S:TAS and Justice League, since those series never had title cards in the first place.

considering it has the release date listed as "Summer 2015" and the logo they used to reveal the movie at the bottom I'm gonna say that was made shortly after it was announced and before they changed the name like 4 times.

I wouldn't consider those posters minimalist either--there's a limited color palette, but otherwise, they're full illustrations.

Yeah, I don't personally think they are either. Those two could be argued for though. They're mostly stripped of extraneous details which is the core of minimalist design.

I don't know who's responsible, but the Silver Surfer always looked mirror-shiny when Ron Lim was doing the art. I thought he had a great way of drawing the cosmic stuff.

Ron Lim actually drew the shiny parts and the colorist just did a good job at not messing it up.



That's the original art for Silver Surfer #50 (which is basically Infinity Gauntlet #0)

Ron Lim's work is crazy-underrated. His characters' faces are expressive, his action is typically crisp and kinetic, he's an excellent storyteller who doesn't generally let the flash and spectacle interfere with the story. But you never hear about him as Really Fuckin' Good, likely because he was doing fairly conventional superhero work - it's just that he was doing that fairly conventional superhero work very well.

I wish I could remember for sure, but didn't Comics Should Be Good once have a "Ron Lim Rule," that if Ron Lim couldn't draw your costume design, it wasn't any good?

Or am I thinking of a completely different artist?

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.

I googled his work and saw some of the most extraordinarily off-model, horrific Sonic the Hedgehog art imaginable.



so...if we extend that from costumes to character design, I think the rule holds.

You're thinking of Ron Frenz, who has an even more straightforward style than Lim. CSBG didn't invent that idea, it's one of those things that's been floating around comics for a while.

I actually super like this. Is that weird?

I agree with redbackground that they should be bigger and take up more of the poster. And I would make the dull beige maybe a stark white for contrast. But The actual image looks borderline iconic to me, pepsi or no.
