Plus, Steve Dillon draws "Angry Frank" better than just about anyone.

I really dig Steve Dillon's Punisher, but this is probably the best "Angry Frank" I've ever seen.



It's by Leandro Fernandez from Punisher Max, and that's Frank's face after learning on the news that a mobster has dug up his wife and child and pissed on their corpses.

I love his work - most of why I read Asterix was the art. Every feast and town scene had so much background stuff going on. Bard being choked, Dogmatix doing mischief, etc.

Agreed, and while the quality of the books dropped when Goscinny died, the art was still amazing. I was really sad to hear the French Government made Uderzo pay a huge amount of back-tax because they refuted his claim to be a co-author of the books because he "only" did the art.

I kinda hope this was a one page "meanwhile" that was never addressed again in that issue or any other.

I've always liked Alan Davis but for me there's something a little "off" about his more recent work I can't quite put my finger on. I think it might be something about the coloring, it just feels a little too "shiny", and I actually far prefer his Excalibur stuff from the 80s.

At first I thought you were being sarcastic and I thought this post was funny but then I realized it wasn't a joke and you should feel bad because everybody uses acronyms/abbreviations in real life.

Also, I hate JRJr's art for the most part. Seriously, this is hideous:



JRJR is one of those guys where sometimes (Uncanny X-Men) I think his work is horrible, and other times (The first 25 issues of the Thor relaunch) I think his work is amazing.

This image from Eternals made my jaw drop though:

Who wrote the Avengers story where the Hulk goes on a rampage and they finally figure out the reason why is because he's horny and his "primitive brain" is reacting to this by trying to impress She-Hulk so they can have sex? Because I want to punch that writer in the dick.

:stare: Aren't Banner and She-Hulk cousins...? Or did someone change that around on me?

They are, she even brings it up in the story, it's loving terrible.

Here's an article about it, and a couple of images to haunt your nightmares:

I thought his work on The Mighty Thor was exceptionally good (in particular the stuff with Thanos), and I quite liked his Spider-Man stuff. But the last few years his stuff has looked quite rushed/unfinished - I don't know if it's a scheduling thing, he just can't keep up anymore or maybe he just gets put in with inappropriate inkers/colorists, but that Avengers/X-Men stuff is atrocious.

Woah hold on, Thanos showed up in Mighty Thor? Was it a flashback, or is he back from the cancer-verse?

Edit: Sorry for the derail, just curious.

This is back a decade or so ago in the Heroes Return (not reborn) reboot - It was written by the normally generic Dan Jurgens but the first 25 issues were really good (in my opinion). Issue 26 was this horrible loving drop in quality though and it just got worse from there.

Edit: Posted a couple of panels in the badass thread if you're interested - the art isn't quite as good as I remember but it is still a big improvement over his Avengers/X-Men stuff.

That reminds me. I was on a nostalgia read of Maximum Carnage the other day when this happened:



Sorry for the cell phone pic. You probably don't want it to look any better.

Is that Sal Buscema? I don't know if he was just trying to differentiate from John Buscema's style or not but I always found his art hugely off-putting.

A rare time when the guy has a better butt than the woman:


"Oh no! That PhreakTM's got my wife!" shouts Spider-Man on the cover, and Lil' Jerusalem gapes and decides he MUST buy it - Spider-Man is married? He's gotta find out more!

This was the first issue of a comicbook I ever bought for myself with my own money, and I have fond memories of it. It's one of the reasons I always feel irritated when I remember the whole,"Readers can't relate to a married Spider-Man!" thing. That poo poo got me buying!
