Is hiring manga artists to draw comics something Marvel and DC have tried to do yet? That feels like an obvious thing to try that I'd be surprised that they haven't.

a kitten posted:Somebody put Murata on a Spider-man book please This is a great example of how a good colourist can take blocks of high contrast colour and make them look like a seamless play of light. Like, check out the colours on Spidey's outstretched hand, or on his foremost leg or foot. At a glance they look both striking and natural, but the effect is achieved using clear, differentiated blocks and stripes of white, pastel pink, hot pink, and burgundy (if asked, would you have intuitively associated pastel pink with Spider-Man's palette? Or even with this picture at a glance?). On his fingers, the colours are like radial layers, the separation is so clear and it adds hugely to the picture's sense of motion and energy. This beautiful sense of colour and depth is achieved not by smooth blending of these colours together, but in the fact that they are sitting separately on the page and contrasting with each other. There's blending and smooth transitions going on within the colours of course, especially within the "main" blocks of red and royal blue, and that's important too. But the high contrast stripes and blocks of colour are totally vital to the motion and beauty of the piece, and they're exactly the kind of thing your eye skates over and reads as one smooth play of light until you take a closer look. It takes a lot of skill to just add colours to existing lines, and then do it such that by adding blocks and areas of colour that aren't even necessarily defined in the linework, you're creating this sense of light and shadow, weight and depth. It's the sort of thing that seems obvious, until you think about it and consider how much knowledge and confidence it takes for someone to say, "okay, I will make Spider-Man's fingers white, pastel pink, and hot pink, and that will make him look better".

Does anyone know if Murata colours his own art? I mean, the practice for manga typically doesn't involve a colorist at all. Though occasionally colours are done up. So I am interested if that spiderman colour work is his own or someone elses. Speaking of colour art though, this is Oda doing a full colour poster for One Piece https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-b6wZ6cWUM

And my only thoughts beyond them not wanting to is most Manga artists are typically used to creator owned works controlling both the story and the art. In Murata's case for One Punch Man, ONE writes the original story, but mostly Murata does his own thing.

She's never released a manga. and again I think the main difference here is Roth wasn't asking why they hadn't hired someone to inject an eastern art influence, but rather why they haven't hired artists who've published series in japan.

Yeah, I was asking if there was ever an attempt to get an established manga artist to draw for Marvel or DC. Thinking about it, I'm guessing a lot of them, particularly the ones who have a weekly schedules, probably have a a busy enough workload as it is.

I donno. They haven't had *direct* manga-drawn stuff but there is plenty of influences in things like like Hellcat and Gwenpool both clearly at least have some manga influences in their art. (For, uh, obvious reasons with Gwenpool due to GuriHiru.)

That art in Snikt! looks great. Too bad the trade is $42 on Amazon, or I'd jump on that.

Out of print and never getting a reprint. There's tons of trades in that situation.

It looks like the individual issues are a way cheaper way to get it, so that's something to consider when I have some spare cash at least.

The issues will have a larger print run and the trade will have 1/10th the size. I've flipped a lot of rare trades on Amazon, it happens a lot. Good example were the Wildstorm New Line trades. I made close to $200 in profit selling those three books because of the insane demand at one point. I also just sold a Simonson Thor Omnibus for $400.

What's been insane to me is seeing the prices some of those old Marvel Essentials are going for. I always just assumed they'd be more or less perennially in print, since the entire idea was to keep the old stuff available, as inexpensive reading copies, but I guess not! I also haven't been to a comic shop in a long-rear end time, so.

Marvel Essentials and select Marvel Masterworks can be massive money makers. A few DC Archives are good money as well. Volume 14 of the Spirit Archives is a $200 book on a bad day.
