Mister Olympus posted:Now I'm not a big comics reader but it says something that, not knowing who Bendis is, I couldn't tell whether the post was complaining about the art or the writing. Bendis would be writer Brian Michael Bendis who recently jumped ship from writing at Marvel. He was responsible such writing accomplishments as creating Miles Morales and Jessica Jones, and also many runs and events which were not worth the paper they were printed on such as Civil War II in recent years. With his defection to DC comes the perfunctory end of Peter J. Tomasi's amazing run on Superman. The result is the "caca poo poo" you see here. I don't blame you for being confused, though. The art is terrible too.

Pacra posted:Why is minidredd punching Dr. Dinosaur Story is a prequel showing Dredd while he's still a cadet in the Judges Academy. Specifically at a ride-along/crowd control with a proper Judge at an Aeroball championship game between Mega City One and Texas City. While the Judge is away taking care of an unruly crowd, Dredd is left to deal with Mega City's mascot getting hammered and pulling a gun on Texas City's mascot (which happens to be a pen of Velociraptors). While taking down the drunk, the firearm goes off and shoots out the lock to the Raptor's pen, letting them free. Dredd punches one of them (as shown in the OP) to assert his dominance and orders them back to their cage (which they comply). Dredd cancels the game, and proceeds to not only arrest the mascot but the entire audience as well due to unruliness and resisting arrest. It was a part of 2000ad's FCBD release this year, which was surprisingly all-ages and still pretty dang good.

I'm not going to claim any of the Bendis dialogue on this page is good, but he has written some of the best super hero comics of the 21st century. I guess he's like a less racist or mysoganiy Frank Miller (coincidentally his best work is also Daredevil).

Woebin posted:Is this from the same book as Synth posted? Both the art and dialog are much better here. Man of Steel has a different artist every book, and as someone who's read a poo poo ton of Marvel Bendis, he's got his highs and his lows when it comes to writing.

Woebin posted:Is this from the same book as Synth posted? Both the art and dialog are much better here. Yeah, they're two issues apart. I've never, ever heard someone say 'caca' in real life. 'Caca Doo Doo' is an insane thing to say. I have to wonder if it's a generational or regional thing? I won't try and defend that art but I like that style way more on the following page. The art also changes a lot in Man of Steel #5 if I recall correctly? I think every few pages are done in a different style. It's odd.

Bendis has big problems and little problems, and I mean that in terms of macro- and micro-, not in relative terms of egregiousness. So you have large-scale plotting issues in stuff like Civil War II, which devotes so much time to characters gasping at the fact of the event comic that it forgets to show us an event, and barely remembers to show us a comic. Then you have small-scale problems like dialogue tics, which are easy to isolate into little two or three page chunks-- his insistance on giving every "snarky" character the same weird grab-bag of Yiddishisms, for example, or the call-and-response dialogue which worked very well in a lot of cases, like early Powers or Alias. I tend to like him well enough to give his projects a chance, and when he's writing A Bad Comic, like the aforementioned Civil War II it's usually easy to pick up on and ditch. That a page like the "caca doo-doo" one and the pretty well-executed Batman scene just posted are from the same title is not at all surprising to me. It's like Cannonball saying he's nigh invulnerable while he's blasting, or Mark Gruenwald's occasionally very very dopey writing of women, it's just sort of the gristle in a meal that you may or may not decide is worth eating but is almost definitely not 100% gristle.

I had a whole post written up about how I appreciate the honesty in making the contrast between the carefully-reproduced character designs with brand recognition and the extremely forgettable world they inhabit so explicit, but the longer I look at this and the other art from that book, the more I'm convinced that the colorist just didn't have all the right layers enabled when exporting that page from photoshop.

His colouring isn't normally so flat, but he might just be going for speed. He does like to desaturate things in the background.
