That's a standard Outlaw outfit, Diamondback (think that's her on the right) has most always been part of the skintight crowd, and there's a tendency for artists to give Dom a secondary mutation of "inflation".

Also, I can't quite make it out, but is that a "Horn" signature in the bottom left?

Because that would explain a lot.

The cover may suck, but the art in the book is good and more importantly so is the writing. It’s been a really fun book so far.

I don't know how comic book companies work but given how Greg Land was the cover artist for the book before hand, as well as being the cover artist for Mystery in Madripoor (which is also good, btw) and now this, the entire thought process of the guy in charge of covers seems to be "That's the book with all the sexy ladies in it! Give it to the porno guys!"

I’ve been tearing through various European comics and some of the art is just awesome.

The first three are from Atar Gull, which is a one-shot about an African chieftain who is captured by slave traders. The artist is named Brüno. I believe the writer is Nury. It’s awesome.







This second set of images is also by Brüno, in a series he did with Nury called Tyler Cross. I burned through the three volumes that are out. Reminds me so much of Parker by Cooke, from the art to the story itself. Absolutely fantastic, one of my favourite comics discoveries of the last few months.









If you read French and like gritty crime stories you need to check this series out.

I hate to defend Say Nothing, but the joke was the artist's inability to recognize where hair should end, lest it appear her pubes are peaking out of her costume. Not that women have pubic hair.

these are really good but I find myself tired of really "hot" coloring tendencies that most artists use. Every color is to the outer edge of the saturation level so with everything being super intense, it loses its impact. I'm not a fan of the "everything is brown and grey" approach either but a little variation would actually help the super bright saturated clors op more.

Hope I'm explaining this right.

Depends on style and medium.
And I would believe also would depend a lot more on printing tech at the time.

But for a general comparison, compare the 'House Style' of the companies from then and now.
