There was a terrible one-shot in the 90's called Batman Digital Justice. All the art is done on early 90's-era CGI. You can imagine how this is going to end.

I bring it up because it's an excellent example of overall page composition. Note how Booster is always on the left and is constantly shown pushing Cyborg back with varied aggressive stances until the very final panel when he moves on. It's a fantastic example of using visual-spatial relations to convey the tone of a conversation without needing to read a word at all. Yes it's simple, but it's remarkable how little that kind of convention is followed and worth celebrating.

Another thing that Maguire and artists like him get a lot of flack for are their weird "who poses like that?" faces, and while I can't find it this page is a good example of his facial poses philosophy when it works. There was a Wizard interview where he says that he always tries to capture the moment of strongest emotion in an exchange as the writer outlines for him. That's why sometimes you'll find him drawing faces where the person is all puffed or smooshing their lips in a way that'd only exist for a second at most in an actual conversation--but that's the point, it's the moment when their emotions are the plainest, and this page is a great example of how that philosophy can be used to employ a great visual story that doesn't need words. The words then get to only add depth. It's wonderful.

Then elucidate why or contribute something of your own instead of making GBS threads in the thread like it's an outhouse.

This is a thread for good comic art. Y'know, using words and pictures to tell a story in sequence? That means that good art isn't necessarily confined by the constraint of "how cool would this look on a poster/t-shirt/tattoo/side of my van." Art that tells a story effectively, even when it's not the prettiest, deserves to be celebrated in this thread too.

Another contribution:



The anatomy and proportions get wonky, and the perspective feels rushed like it most likely was. That said the use of framing from panel to panel manages to accentuate the speech in a way similar but distinct from how a cinema camera would frame the same scene. It's good comic art, despite its flaws, because it tells a story well. You can take it on its own merits without the words and it still tells a story.

What if Age of Ultron looked like this, indeed.
