I'm pretty sure the reason it was done with Sandman was to get the first story arc using the same colorist as the rest of the series. That makes sense, but I agree that maybe it didn't work out so well.

I haven't ever gotten around to reading the Absolute editions of Sandman, so the only recolorings I've seen have been like, here and other places. Does the full on recoloring job stay constant throughout the series? Like places where the coloring is part of where the originals stood out? It would be a travesty to change the unique process used on "The Wake" for instance.

Neil Gaiman said before the first one came out that they were only doing a full recolor of the first 18 issues, but would touch up things later on if they didn't work out right originally, and would stick with the same color schemes. I don't know how accurate this is since I've only read the later issues in Absolute, but the above pages are all from that first section.

1 - yes the boob is probably not normally made of solid bands of muscle although to be honest I have never cut one open to check.

Thankfully, others have who will gladly confirm that there's no muscle in breasts!

At the same time, neither Domino nor Wolfsbane appear to have a left leg.

That's actually Feral, not Wolfsbane. After Wolfsbane was written out of the series in X-Tinction Agenda, I guess Liefeld decided he needed a new wolf/cat/whatever character.

One of the things that always baffles me with Liefeld's guns, being someone who knows his way around a firearm, is this:

What the gently caress is all that space for? The man draws a gun twenty times the necessary size.

It's where the lasers live.

It often goes unnoticed but despite being a much better artist than Liefeld, Mignola also seems to have issues with feet.

The best part is that even Mignola has Cannonball just flying somewhere away from everyone else.

The cover makes no sense because Jason does not wear those robes or interact with those characters within the issue.

That's like 90% of modern Big 2 comics covers, though.

My main problem with Ross is that no matter how dynamic a scene is supposed to be, it just looks like he is painting posed people. Because he is painting posed people. It's good for covers and posters and such, but I'm not a huge fan of him as an interior artist.

You shouldn't call it traced unless you can provide a photo that matches the drawing exactly. Nothing in that example on the link lines up correctly.

Okay. I'm sure if someone wanted to, they could look through the mountains of Randy Orton posing pictures and find one that does.

It's a magic enchantment, so it just auto-adjusts to the reader, just like it can decide that Tony Stark driving Thor around in his car doesn't count as lifting Mjolnir, but if he tries to pick it up wearing armor that's a no-go.

I'm *fairly* certain his portfolio of busty, scantily-clad women is hand-drawn. *Maybe* some photo reference.

EDIT:

Wikipedia posted:

The penciling process Hughes employs for his cover work is the same he uses when doing sketches for fans at conventions, with the main difference being that he does cover work in his sketchbook, before transferring the drawing to virgin art board with a lightbox,[33] whereas he does convention drawings on 11 x 14 Strathmore bristol, as he prefers penciling on the rougher, vellum surface rather than smooth paper, though he does enjoy brush inking on smoother paper.[34] He does preliminary undersketches with a lead holder,[35] because he feels regular pencils get worn down to the nub too quickly. As he explained during a sketch demonstration at a comic book convention, during this process he uses a Sanford Turquoise 4B lead, a soft lead, though when working at home in Atlanta, where the humid weather tends to dampen the paper, he sometimes uses a B lead or 2B lead, which acts like a 4B in that environment.[34] However, his website explains that he uses 6B lead, with some variation. For pieces rendered entirely in pencil, he employs a variety of pencil leads of varying degrees of hardness.[31] After darkening in the construction lines that he wishes to keep, he erases the lighter ones with a kneaded eraser before rendering greater detail.[35] For more detailed erasures, he uses a pencil-shaped white eraser, and to erase large areas, he uses a larger, hand-held white eraser, which he calls a "thermonuclear eraser", because it "takes care of everything".[34]

I really loved how pretty Marguerite Sauvage's stuff was from the Thor Annual. I also dug the story that Noelle Stevenson wrote for it.

The young Thor story was pretty grand, too.

I love the Young Thor story as well.

For an entirely different reason. I totally get a Korgoth of Barbaria feeling from the last panel. And those faces are cartoon gold.

I also really liked straight edger CM Punk writing a story about getting really, really drunk.
