WWE Superstars is drawn by a guy named Puste who is so bad that I was able to make a top 10 list out of a single issue.









I'm having a miserable day/week/month and this cheered me up so, so much. Thank you.



I think the giant potato behind the podium is supposed to be Alberto Del Rio.

We've been checking out the WWE Superstars comic in the Punchsports Pagoda.

Here are some highlights of WWE Superstars #7:















The prelude, main story, and fantasy sequences all have completely different art styles. I can see the reasoning for that, but unfortunately the art in the main story is far worse than the fantasy art. It seems the main artist really doesn't like to draw backgrounds.



Say your prayers...

Going with my earlier post, here's some wonderful art from WWE Superstars #8.





(that's supposed to be Batista on the floor)

Keep in mind that for the first eight issues of this series, Punk has been played as the main character in both storylines. Even though this comic came out weeks ago. So here's how this storyline ends.

I love Mignola's work so much and I'm sad to see Hellboy in Hell come to an end.



On the other hand, I read Frankenstein Agent of S.H.A.D.E. recently and this depiction of an alleged human child appalled me.

More great work in this month's Old Man Logan. I thought this one (19) was the end of the current run, but I guess it goes until 24 so I'm pleasantly surprised.



For context, that's Jean Grey connecting with the brood hivemind.

As recently as 2017, titty covers were still sellers.

The otherwise great 2019 Black Cat has some really cheesecake covers and I think it sold very well initially for a non-marquee series.

That's some lovely art, is the whole book like that?

Yeah, it's a one-off but the whole issue is in that style. It's by Mike del Mundo, probably best appreciated around here for Weirdworld. He also did a chunk of the 2018 Thor run.

I'm working through Alan Moore's Swamp Thing and although I didn't immediately love the art it's gotten significantly better and it's sometimes absolutely stunning.



There's an issue in the second collection involving the afterlife which is a total feast for the eyes.

...and the writing's okay too I guess.

I'm getting to the end of Moore's Swamp Thing and although my comics experience is relatively limited this is one of the most creative page layouts I've ever seen (issue 61). The artist is Rick Veitch.

It's really pretty! The story is a bit of a generic fusion of Marvel and Japanese folklore, but it's worth picking up for the art.

The art in the new Marvel Alien book is...not so good. Salvador Larroca on ink, Guru eFX on colours.



The Xenos look alright, but it's mostly humans in the first issue and they're generally not pleasant to look at. Looks like colouring might be the main issue.

Yeah, Stokoe is a national treasure.

I've been working through the Brubaker Cap run and although the art (mostly Steve Epting so far) is generally good I was amused to see Sharon Carter abruptly replaced with a different federal agent at some point in Civil War.

I think that's just part of J. H. Williams's approach when he's left to his own devices. I haven't seen much of his work, but it was something he did in Promethea too.
