I knew a guy in high school who yelled CHEESE AND RICE!!!! when he got mad. It was against his religious beliefs to say Jesus Christ, you see, so it was a suitable replacement.

Earlier, some of the Ame-Supergirl art, and it was pretty odd, but I saw another take on it and actually, this does look sort of cool:



She always wore a leotard, but now it actually looks like part of an athletic outfit with the sneakers and shinguards.

I actually think PG would work as a character with a bit of a power-down (remove some of the usual Kryptionian powers, emphasize the fit, tough, constantly working out aspects).

An athletic Kryptonian is a great idea.

This was a Michael Turner cover for Justice League of America #1 (2006). It's Turner at his worst. Wonder Woman looks like an old woman. Black Canary has Down Syndrome. Red Arrow (Arsenal, Speedy, whatever) is aiming an arrow at Hal's neck.

It's like a third-rate Joe Maduiera clone.

Oh, and Roboto: use the TIMG tags to reduce that image to a thumbnail.

I know this sounds ridiculous to any long-time Iron Man fan, but I'm reading through the old issues and wow, I'm seriously liking George Tuska! I've been trying to place what it is about him that seems above and beyond the others before him.

I thought at first it might have something to do with the colouring helping his work pop, or maybe better drafstmanship, but no, looking back at Craig's brief stint and then the later Colan issues, it's not that. Going through more Colan issues though it struck me that Colan's work made me think of pulp, or noir. To get some fan consensus I went to a random forum to see what their Top Iron Man Artist lists look like, and some guy nailed it for me in painting Colan's Iron Man issues as gothic horror and that's the perfect description. There was something about those issues of his that never quite seemed right and now with Tuska's work I can see that I was missing that comic-book pop. Colan used too much sketchy shading for my tastes.

Though maybe I'm wrong and it's just Tuska's cuh-raaazy panel shapes!



He did this layout quite a bit early on and it's just like the "Screw your drat squares" school of comic book drawing. There's even a little corner that juts out into the bottom-right panel.

At least with Liefeld all the awful loving stuff is up front but this you just need to stare at for a few minutes to draw in the awfulness.

Note the 'Earth-212' bit in the caption; I gather that Earth-212 is basically a mega-New York or something. There was something in an interview... ah, here we go.

quote:

Gillen: She's much cooler than everyone else. When we first meet her in the "Marvel NOW! Point One" issue she's in an alternate dimension, 212, which is an infinite New York. The mountains are made out of Empire State Buildings and things like that. That's my way of reinventing the concept of someone from a cooler place than where you are. It's like that if you meet someone from New York for the first time if you come from somewhere lovely like Stafford. You're a bit starstruck because frankly you're brought up with these ideas in the media that they are in some ways more interesting and worldly than you are, and in may ways they probably are. [Laughs] In a totally in-canon way, Hulkling and Wiccan are glorious big geeks. America Chavez isn't. She's totally bemused by half the stuff they talk about.

Enjoy this amazing panel from the latest Secret Avengers #33:



What the gently caress is with Hawkeye's face? Also I enjoy how Captain Britain's chin is about the same size as the rest of his face above his mouth.




Also the action sequence here is a bit weird to follow.

Sorry for the piss poor quality. Just took a quick pic with my phone. I think I paid more attention to quality than they did to Hawkeye's face at least.

No, look at the hexagon shaped depression on the dude's helmet and how wonky it is. That's not stylization, that's an artist either working under an impossible deadline or just not giving a poo poo.
