EDIT: ^^ Oh man, I thought it was good, realistic faces with good expressions. Then I continued to scroll down.


I really like this week's Uncanny X-Men's cover (and it's not Land!). It really feels like an old Star Wars poster (probably intentional, given the storyline). It was penciled by Terry Dodson, according to Marvel's site.

Yeah, I'm just stating my citation. Also, I know I didn't even notice the signature there the first time, so I wanted to make it a bit more human-readable. Plus, I don't know if he inked/colored it, so I'm just giving what I do know.

Holy motherfucking poo poo: Jack Kirby's 'Space Busters' concept art surfaces



The older that comic book art gets, the less like it is that I enjoy it. I know I'm wrong about this, but the masters usually just don't do anything for me.

But lately, I've discovered that Jack Kirby knocks my socks off. Especially when it's just his inks. There's just nothing better.

Man.

I've been readin the old X-Men Omnibuses, and Kirby did some of the work in the early issues of X-Men. And you bring up a good point about seeing his work in raw ink. Now that I think of it, the part of the art that I generally don't like is probably because of the color work from back then.

Yes, it had a propeller hat. Also, it was a zombie (the one from Marvel Zombies). That whole Corps storyline was the worst storyline of Deadpool I've ever read. As Gavok has said before, people need to stop putting Deadpool in space.

The origin story with Kid Deadpool was awesome though.

It's not different. It's a variant/chase costume. They spent a lot of money and time tracking it down and it'll be worth so much more in the future.

Better than those lazy Fantastic Four variant costumes. You know the ones, they're all white with only their logos on it. They say it's so you can just do stuff with the whitespace, but we all know it's just easier to make an all-white costume and slap a logo on. Why spend your time designing when people will buy the new stuff with zero effort?

Baron Bifford posted:

It's bizarrely drawn, but then again these characters are supposed to be inhumanly proportioned. Liefeld can also draw great monsters when he doesn't have to care about human proportions. How about uploading some pages featuring regular human characters? That would better showcase the artist's talent.

The topic title says no more Liefeld, so I wouldn't. Also, I'm sure that it would account for less than 5% of his work, so saying he can do one thing good when he never does it, would not represent the artist well.

Stewart's picture was funny but it also wasn't very professional.

Was he not yelling at another artist for criticizing him? He said that the only people who can yell at him are his fans. I assume it's because he doesn't care about their opinion on how to draw.

It took me until now to realize that they're in some kind of canyon standing around, and that's not some crappy explosion. I guess that explains most things about their poses, but Chung-Li is still flying around back there.

Speaking of Strong Guy (who was/is a great character in X-Factor of a few years past):

p.s. How does he keep those lenses in, anyway

I liked the idea that Strong Guy got hit by a car and didn't release the power in time, so he's permanently charged with extra mass that he can't use and hurts him constantly. That excuses a bit of his odd looks (not all of them in that picture I guess), and makes him more interesting than "peak human strength guy".

I just saw this cover posted as a preview, and couldn't stop staring at it. It would be a quicker list to just list what they drew right. That list might also be empty.

I know Deadpool's a comedy comic, but I can't tell if it was intentionally terrible, or this was an honest attempt.

I'm pretty sure the Liefeld cover was the crater. The Perez cover is great for what it is, a huge compositional mess that shoehorns every character possible into the image. It's a whole lot better than most of that type.
