Opopanax posted:He could only draw one face, but it was definitely Frank's This is the first time I've ever seen that and with the developing congestion from COVID it was NOT a great time, but damned if it wasn't funny. That said, something I've come to love about the Punisher is that Marvel doesn't treat him like some sacred cow whose status quo they must protect with their lives like they used to do with the X-Men. Instead, they do bonkers stuff like Franken-Castle and it just works.

Uthor posted:What happens when you want the villain of the story to actually be the mayor of your city? This is that weird authorial self-insert, right? Where he's a kid prodigy and gets the last word about everything, the one that was bizzarely best depicted in the otherwise terrible Arkham Origins game?

Pretty much. He was a reflection of Alan Grant's political views (and also his attempt to tee-up a replacement for the recently-deceased Jason Todd as Robin). I never followed his later series, but at least early on, he was written as a smart, but extremely naïve (literal) kid who was pretty good at criticizing the excesses of authoritarianism, but bad at concocting anything other than ludicrously theatrical terrorist acts in response. It seems like he became more one-note over time.

I’ve posted this before, but this page from LOEG: The Tempest #6 is funny, but now a little bittersweet.

Oh, be fair, now: Quitely also used that beef-face for many female characters as well, especially early in his Authority run.

i mean, Noto-face is also a known thing

I feel like the artist list is pretty long. This is why clothing, accessories, hair and other features are important.

Quitely and Noto draw faces in their particular style, but they draw more than one face. Steve Dillon only drew one face. This isn't meant to harsh on him as an artist, aside from the only drawing one face thing he was an amazing artist. I tend to credit writers for the comics I like more than the artist, but I don't think Ennis would have half the career he does without Dillon. His Hellblazer work was amazing, and I remember a bar I'd go to on Sundays to watch football and there was one comic book guy and someone else read a copy of Preacher and they were just slowly passing around his entire collection of the trades.

Noto’s faces may look similar, but they also look like humans.

With Quitely at least you can make the argument that it's stylized

And people wonder why DC Comics has been seen as a sewer for stunningly boring, uncreative failsons for nearly twenty straight years.

Um, I think the scene's just supposed to be showing that Damian's an rear end in a top hat.

I may have to check it out. yes, and it's not even that the comic got lucky with a good writer; it's written by the guy who created the show (and full blown co-wrote with on-screen writing credit nearly every episode, which is an unusual level of writing involvement from even a showrunner)
