Despite everything wrong with that image I'm stuck on Deadpool's oxygen cutting choke collar. My throat tightens up just by looking at it. It looks so uncomfortable. So congratulations Liefeld for making me feel something and creating art.

Seriously though, is that dog actually a human with a dog head? Because, as said, it has a human butt and legs.

I almost forgot about this cover by Liefeld, which kind of reaches Dada-esque proportions of craziness. Take note of the floating head and limbs, the strained neck, the teeth, the stretchy crotch and bendy shield.

Astonishing X-Men: Xenogenesis featured some truly awful art by Kaare Andrews. Emma Frost torments Logan and Jubilee with her misshapen rack.  But her sadism doesn't stop there, as she then uses it to scare away some soldiers.

The only bad Kaare Andrews art is the boring covers he's doing for Ultimate Comics at the moment.

Andrew's has a distinct style that he likes to experiment with. He did an arc in Ultimate X-Men (vol 1) where the character looked more anime like, and then there is his Astonishing X-Men stuff (which does sometimes come across as horrendous). He does like to change it up though so it's hard to pigeonhole him as a good or bad artist. That being said, I definitely prefer his cover work to his interiors.

It was a part of the story.

2nd printing variant for X-Sanction #2. The most un-imaginitive piece of poo poo I've ever seen. I will never read these books solely based on this cover. The smoke isn't coming from the gun. There is no reason to only see Cable's arm. His eye is in a weird position based on the angle and posish of his arm. WTF?

It's Jeph Loeb writing anyway, that should tell you what to expect anyway: schlocky cameo-fests with writing that exists almost solely to expedite more splash pages and poster fodder.

Here are two Shatterstars. One is drawn by Liefeld and the other is from the latest X-Factor series. See if you can tell the difference.

They're the same guy, though. Sure, Peter David and his artist salvaged the character to the point that it might as well be a new guy, but it's not. They even had Shatterstar acting all one-dimensional and looking more like his ridiculous 90s design in the alternate universe Maddrox just visited.

Andrews is great, as a lot of the stuff on this page shows, but there are some awful stylistic choices going on there. Emma is drawn like a caricature, which might be fine if everyone else was and if that fit the mood of the story at all, and Storm looks like a bad drag queen. I have no clue what he was thinking with Jubilee's grossed out face, either, she looks like the guy from Mad magazine.

I usually don't have a great eye for horrible art but even I know Psylocke must have broken her spine in a couple places for her limbs to act that way. I think that pose is actually possible—tilt your head to the right, block out her head/neck, and imagine she's sitting on a flat surface with one leg twisted behind in one of those classic life-drawing poses. The only weird thing is her head. If you're a gymnast or something, it's possible for your limbs to be pushed into that position, but probably not for you to move them or hold them there under your own power, without the resistance from the floor. In this case it just looks plain goofy and doesn't tell you what the gently caress is supposed to be going on in that panel. Anyway, that guy does seem at least to have a basic command of form. I'd say it's more bad pose than bad art outright.

I'm agree, I'm not saying the whole issue is bad, but that panel really stuck out as not good at all. I think her left leg is a little too out there weird to have sprung her into the air from any surface.

Better than those lazy Fantastic Four variant costumes. You know the ones, they're all white with only their logos on it. They say it's so you can just do stuff with the whitespace, but we all know it's just easier to make an all-white costume and slap a logo on. Why spend your time designing when people will buy the new stuff with zero effort?

Best: Francesco Francavilla While his pencils harkens back to an older, noir-inspired style from the 40's, it's his colors that really get to me. It's watercolors and he uses shades of red, orange, yellow, and purple to great effect. The asthetics are simple and almost childlike, and that's what makes them so scary when reading the Black Mirror arc of Detective Comics. Worse: Jim Lee  The pervading style of the 90's was unfortunately led by Rob Leifeld: hyper-stylized, warped proportions, and tiny eyes. Jim Lee's style reflects that and while I can't compare Leifeld to Lee given that I've never read anything by Liefeld, I can see he shares both style and aesthetics and they rub me the wrong way. cyberpunksurvivor fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Jan 21, 2012 |
