Art Adams haters can step out.

Not one of his better pieces, though.

The last one is a GOOD example of how that Scarlet Witch cover should have come out.

It looks like he used the same layout for that and the Scarlet Witch.

Yep, one was published and the other wasn't. So that's probably why the Scarlet Witch cover looks worse than his usual stuff, and worse than the Magik image.

That is due to him never going to a nascar race and he never watches youtube. He also does not have a myspace page.

Actually he could have a myspace page now and I think it would make him even more out of touch!

These pages come from Supergirl #11 (2006). Art by Joe Benitez. I think this guy's style is, overall, OK, but his rendition of Supergirl just feels weird to me. He gives her a smaller jaw, giving her face a rounder appearance. The other thing is how shy and submissive she appears before Nightwing. Now, I know Nightwing is badass, but she has reckoned with people even bigger than him. Such as Batman.


I can see what he was trying for, exaggerating some features to make her look younger. But she comes across like a real life Bratz doll. The inker and colorist didn't do him any favors, either.

In fact, the color on those ChrisCross samples are really bad too.

I think it's fairly clear he was experimenting or attempting to match his art with the tone of the story. His art can wildly vary from project to project and drawing Emma like that was a stylistic choice. And everyone draws bad faces from time to time.

I don't think anyone would be forcing the issue if several posters hadn't popped up to try to say it doesn't count as bad because they like the artist. "He had to rush it" is fine, "you're wrong for saying it's bad because you don't GET IT" is stupid.

I think everyone will agree it's bad, but saying "Was she also meant to seem vaguely human shaped? Because if so Kordey failed." is completely inaccurate. She is human shaped, an ugly human, but human shaped nonetheless.

I don't know what the gently caress happened to Wolverine in All-New X-Men #10, but it ain't pretty. Stuart Immonen must've had a very localized seizure or something. The weird part is, it's just Wolverine. Everyone and everything else looks pretty okay.





(There's some way worse panels where Immonen goes for a close-up shot, and the face is still way off, but these are the only ones I could find with a quick GIS of "All New X-Men 10 wolverine bad art face")

That's not bad art, that's a choice on how to depict him. Wolverine was never supposed to be some handsome guy with perfect features and really only turned that way when Jackman was cast to play him. He's a short, hairy, angry Canadian. Go back and look at how Byrne drew him.

A good decision to stop just before reaching groin area, otherwise we'd have to see Superman drawn with more than just Jon Hamm's face likeness.

Yeah, there's really nobody like him.

For current artists, I'd say there is someone like Bachalo who is in a similar vein; he does things differently and nobody copies his style.

Artgerm's covers and pin-ups and promotional things are really great-looking. I don't think he's ever going to do interiors, but it seems like nowadays there are a lot of artists who don't really do interiors much if at all.

What's the point of editors and poo poo when they let stuff like this into their products? Are they too afraid to go to an artist and say "Hey, uh, hey there, Bob. You know, we're gonna need you to redraw those pictures for us. They suck. Really, really poor quality." Do they think they're going to cry?

This looks terrible. Everything about it.

It's not even saved by telling people it's 'stylized', it's so bad. But it is so bad it's funny. So it has that going for it.



Probably because it would cost more money to have the artist redo it/hire another artist than it's worth.

Well that's by Michael Turner, who's been dead for about 7 years or so. So there's also a good chance it was a sketch to start with.

Seeing Capullo's old X-Factor stuff recently was shocking. I'm so proud of his transcendence from Liefeldism.

I don't recall Capullo ever having a Liefeld influence or drawing X-Factor. He did Quasar and X-Force, and the style is pretty similar to what he does today. He had the stretch drawing Spawn where he took on some McFarlane characteristics but still kept his own style, but he's gotten away from that.

This is why you should like Karnak:

He was in the afterlife, saw the flaw in it, and used that flaw to come back to life.

Coming back to life involved bursting through the chest of an evil Inhuman who had the powers to catalog dead Inhumans' memories.

That's done on purpose. Like it was said, Prime was actually a kid and that is what he thought a hero looked like, so when he became Prime he was this impossibly muscled figure because he was based off of supermodels and comic book characters.

Also, Bagley's art depends a lot on his inker. His pencils are pretty loose, which is what allows him to be so damned fast. But if he doesn't have an inker to tighten things up, it looks very sloppy.

Look no further than some of the books that came out right at the end of his life, when Image founders were routinely inking his stuff. In general, they were doing it for noble reasons, but dear lord does that kind of inking not work with someone like Kirby.



I don't think the inking is too bad there. McFarlane is a pretty talented guy and I think his style meshes well with Kirby. I'd like to see it without the colors.

Those are bad. They look like they can't cut through anything and are only good for poking. Plus with the curve they shouldn't be able to retract!

Jim Lee's claws are a good combo of the two.

Jim Lee's bodies are very limited, but I think he's still the person I think of most when someone talks about drawing superheroes. Because yeah, all of his characters look like superheroes; so that's his best feature and biggest weakness. Otherwise he's really talented with panel layouts and drawing action and even facial expressions.
