A few issues later he tells MJ he was reluctant at first meeting her because her aunt kept saying she had a "great personality".

Reminds me of the Ctrl+Alt+Del plotline where one of the characters goes on a date with a... Gasp... Fat girl! But it turns out she's super cool, and he's struggling with the fact that he might like a... Gasp... Fat girl! And he was all ready to tell her it's just not working out when she revealed that she was wearing a fat suit the entire date to make sure he's not shallow person, and they proceed to date because he can get it up now that he knows she is not really a disgusting fatty after all.

I think that's just an accurate recap of what he was doing in the 60s. MJ didn't appear out of the blue, there was the lead-up in prior issues where they would show her, but obscured, as Peter tried to avoid meeting her. That's part of the appeal of her famous "jackpot" line because before Peter opens the door he's basically like "oh god, here we gooooholy poo poo!"

Peter was the usual "the world owes me everything" teen in the 60s. In the 80s he has gone full Reaganite.

Here's a couple I've seen this month.

This one is from Previews for an upcoming title in the continuing adventures of bizarre looking children:



And the award for the most awkward/wooden kiss goes to The Man of Steel himself on the main cover for #4:



What's amazing about it is that neither one of them looks to be kissing the other.

That's pretty standard, though. Like maybe their aim is a little off but on movie posters and book covers the characters are ever so close to kissing without actually kissing.

They look more like they are sleeping than kissing. Like two action figures being pressed together to make them kiss.

Honestly, putting aside the quality of Miller's art skill, I just don't get the splatter. If he wanted to add a little artistic flair to the image with an ink splatter, why go overboard like that? You can barely make out most of Superman's body, nullifying most of the work he did. Why do it at this stage, and not during color? And what thematic reason relating to Superman is there for that ink splatter, anyway?

It really just looks like he hosed up and spilled ink on a drawing and now he's trying to cash in on it anyway.

The answer to that question (and all questions regarding Miller's work over the prior two decades) is "9/11 broke his loving brain."

Don't you tell me my business again.
Miller (rightfully) catches a ton of poo poo and was never the world's greatest draftsman but his work on Daredevil, Ronin, TDKR and Sin City really did transcend the medium and dragged it into another level of storytelling that hadn't been seen in a LONG while and was much needed. Klaus Janson and others did a ton of the heavy lifting for sure, but his story boarding for a while was about the bedfst I've ever seen and it just bums me out a little that one of the true revolutionaries of the medium is viewed as a tired joke these days.

I mean, he IS, no question anymore but his contributions to the craft are pretty strong.

Unrealistic art! We can’t even see her rear end at the same time as her boobs! I know Re3d’s the stretchy one, but this is possible for all female supers. I’ve seen it’s possible from a whole bunch of floppy covers from the late ‘90s!

Seriously, have these artists even studied the human form, especially how female bits work in motion? There’s a reason sports bras are so popular.

The “vaccines = autism” haircut is much better than my take, the “I’d like to speak to your manager” ‘do.

I still love his older work, and I remember in context how important they were. But sadly, to me, anyway, his older work DOES suffer to some degree as a result of his recent work. I look at a lot of the bizarre, questionable stuff he's doing now, and when I look back, it's pretty much what he's always been doing, only now it's turned up to 11.

I mean the ink splatters are bad but I really love how weird his art is these days. His solo backups in DK3 were pretty wild and awesome.
