Talking about Wolverine's claws, one cover I hate and love at the same time is the Larsen Hulk cover where Hulk is reflected in Logan's claws. I love it because it is such a cool image and hate it because it means his claws have to have a width of about a foot each. I'm phone posting so can't really post the pic but I'm sure everyone knows which cover I'm talking about.

Jason Aaron's Wolverine is very good.

And the Barry Windsor Smith Weapon X. Wolverine also does well with random one shot stories.

I like some of their stuff and they're certainly all GOOD but I never thought they were legendary. poo poo indeed. I'm re-reading the Marvel partwork and just got to Daredevil: Born Again. Artwork's great.

This is from Sonic the Comic #129. The context is that Robotnik has used the Chaos emeralds to become all-powerful and transported Sonic 70 years into the future where he's old and infirm:

Sonic the Comic had some absolutely gorgeous art. Some awful art too, but a lot of great stuff.

It did indeed, but I've only just realised I posted these in the wrong thread because I'm very careless. I meant them for the funny panels thread.  (I would have made other choices if I was going to post STC art I liked or disliked.)

Was poking around a little and ran across an artist named "Jock" who's done some really cool covers. I'd never heard of him https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b5/f8/c5/b5f8c52299b77349c67b83bae6185e5f.jpg

He's Scottish, and I believe his real name is Mark Simpson. I met him at MegaCon earlier this year and got him to sign my five TPBs of The Losers, the Vertigo "action movie on paper" series he drew with writer Andy Diggle. It was adapted into a very decent action movie starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Idris Elba, Zoe Saldana, Chris Evans, and Jason Patric (slightly before most of them blew up), but it came out the same summer as The A-Team and The Expendables, so it bombed. The comic was really good, though. His covers are really something special, though. I think he was charging people a little extra to sign that iconic Detective Comics cover with the Joker made of bats. He drew a special cover for Action Comics #1000 that was exclusive to London's Forbidden Planet store, but I would have chosen it over all the covers that were released in the U.S.. Someone brought it to the signing, and I was jealous, it was so nice. Oh, and he was hired to do concept art for The Last Jedi, including Luke in his robes. My buddy brought him the Last Jedi oversized art book to sign, and he was pretty surprised anyone realized he worked on the movie, so he got chatty and said he didn't even know some of his designs got used until he saw the film in theaters. Very cool, nice guy.

BiggerBoat posted:Ross has a way of making these characters iconic and dynamic that I still love but action is not his thing. I think what Ross does really well are scenes of pure awe and scenes of quiet emotion, which feel like two ends of a spectrum. But what I remember most from Ross is the look of pure joy on Gwen Stacy's face in Marvels when Namor's process walks through the streets of New York, or the scene where Phil looks away during that moment in the fight with Green Goblin. And in Kingdom Come, basically any panel where it shows the Justice League arriving on a scene. Not necessarily like, doing anything, but just arriving, has this "the gods have stepped down from Olympus" feel to it that gives appropriate weight to Superman coming into the scene.

They look like they can't cut through anything and are only good for poking. Plus with the curve they shouldn't be able to retract! Jim Lee's claws are a good combo of the two.

What I liked about the Byrne claws is that they were slender and a little hooked and yet could indeed cut through most everything. That made them seem cooler to my teenaged self than the chunky later versions.

That's why they're meant to be shorter than his forearm.

Wasn't there a plot point in like New Avengers or something about how Patch was the only person who managed to keep Madripoor somewhat stable but no one could find him?
