Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

It's Garth Ennis at the very height of his "superheroes are juvenile bullshit hurr hurr hurr im gonna make sex jokes about em hurrr hrr" juvenility, so no, no it is not any good. The Conner art can't make up for the terrible content.

It did for me, if only because I really really miss the days when Connor did full interiors and not just covers and writing (plus I don't really enjoy her writing but she's like top 5 artists for me). I love her art more than I dislike Ennis' bullshit.

No, you phrased the question just fine. There's nothing wrong with the art on Squirrel Girl. It's technically competent, dynamic, and well-suited to its context. What you're seeing is a bunch of posters treating their subjective opinions ("I do not enjoy this art") as objective fact ("This art is poo poo").

One of the less popular edicts of a former mod was "don't be creepy and talk about superhero sex so goddamn much" and while that one seems to have been accepted into the fabric of BSS, it was decried as part of the overall killjoy "serious business" "effort post" "full of care" "tl:dr" "joyless pretentious gently caress" movement like everything else derided of the dark days of the past.

Well yeah, that's what ugly means.
That's not what ugly means though. Ugly means like literally aesthetically unpleasasing. I think Frank Cho's art is really well done and I wouldn't call it ugly but it's not appropriate for a lot of things, including Greg Rucka's Wonder Woman. I straight up don't like most of Alex Ross's sequential art but it is by no means ugly. I could totally see the argument that Simon Bisley or Richard Corben or Carlos Ezquerra's art is objectively UGLY, but it's a great fit for the projects they're on. Saying that Kate Beaton probably shouldn't draw the next arc of Lazarus isn't calling her ugly either. Super Ugly is a song.

Squirrel Girl's art is light and cartoony and fun, in perfect sync to that book's tone. If it was all shadowy Deodato or whatever it would be a terrible match. If you just don't like cartoony art that's fine but it's not "bad" art by any real measure.
Sure, but I much prefer the art in, say, Patsy Walker aka Hellcat!

I did like them playing with the art styles in one of the earlier issues though.

I refer to comiclist usually. It may not have everything but I checked for next week and it does show whether it's a reprint or whatnot. http://www.comiclist.com/index.php/newreleases/next-week

I get that, but just for a minute, can we discuss what in the world that argument was about? I'm just afraid to Google "Power Girl red sun boobs". What discussion is there to even be had? If red is a pretty color or if boobs are a superpower? I don't understand.

I don't remember if it was a real argument or talking point or a joke but yes, the idea was that her tits were made stronger by a yellow sun, so they would be depowered into normal breasts under a red sun.

It's good for comics, because there are very few as bad as Sword Art Online. On the other hand, there's very few things that could possibly be better than Yu Yu Hakusho or Hellsing. Not just comics, but like, anything, including other anime.

I should make Best Of lists for every medium sometime.
