Paging through the old issue of New Mutants back-up in X-Men Legacy #250 reminded me what a great and interesting artist Bill Sienkiewicz was.

Paul Smith is my favorite artist from Claremont's run. Although that may be colored by the fact that he was the artist on my first issues (hooray for X-Men Classic!).

He's great too, but I've always liked how Paul Smith drew Nightcrawler more, and since Nightcrawler was my favorite as a kid, Paul Smith wins.

It is almost guaranteed that if Shinobi Shaw shows up in an issue, for example, I'll have no idea what the hell happened.

Fortunately, Shinobi Shaw showing up is pretty much a guarantee that nothing important happened.

Well, it's still a terrible cover, because "Dark Supergirl" is such a loving retarded idea that it makes angels weep, but at least she looks like a human being now.

I don't read a lot of comics, but the art in the Avengers vs X-Men #2 seemed egregiously horrible. The two teams facing off should be a BIG MOMENT, but they all look so strange that I just felt embarrassed for them all.

I'm actually a fan of the writing, but Porticio has to go. The sooner the better. There was a "finisher" credited in this issue, what exactly does that person do?

Finish drawing the pencils and ink them. It means the penciller only did rough layouts.

That's actually Iron Fist in disguise. This was during Civil War, and I can't remember why he took over.

A lot of people didn't like Kirby, especially a lot of kids/teens in the late 70's early 80's who hated his blocky style, square eyes and who preferred hyper cool anatomy renderers like Neil Adams, John Buscema, Jim Aparo and the kings of super incredible detail like George Perez. For a while, the things that dictated taste were how REAL something looked, which is not bad in and of itself and I like it too. Take Alex Ross for example.

That's still going on. I've seen people rag on Mike Allred for not being part of the Adams school.

Anyway, on topic, my first exposure to Byrne was when he was penciller for Gail Simone's run on Superman (stories with Queen of Fables, Livewire, Doctor Polaris and Black Adam come to mind) and I thought his art was a bit ugly-looking. I was honestly surprised by how good his 1980s work on X-Me , FF, Superman, Alpha Flght etc. was when I eventually went back and read those.

He's been inking himself, badly, since the mid-late '90s.
