As long as we're posting Ennis' Punisher pwning people, who could forget when he found an amnesiac Bruce Banner?



Sadly, I don't know the issue number.

(As part of this, Frank spent a week feeding Banner C4, Imodium, and a micro-detonator so that when he did eventually Hulk out, Frank could push a button, explode Hulk's stomach, which knocked Hulk out and turned him back into Banner presumably because then Ennis could say that Frank even beat the Hulk.)

e: Oh, and the thing that finally drove Bruce over the edge wasn't the beating, it was Frank calling him a "bitch". Because Ennis.

Nah, it was specifically the piercing-ripping that I meant. I'm not usually one to get squeamish about comic/cartoon violence, but a man with that much metal in his face having them forcibly removed one by one is the stuff of nightmares.

It's a flaw in his style, and it's certainly an obvious one, but Dillon is one of the single most efficient storytellers in the business.

Dillon his strengths, faces just aren't one of them. I'd read a Dillon comic well before a Land one.

Nah, son. You can block the word balloons out of most of Dillon's comics and still get a nearly perfect idea of what's going on, which is an underrated talent. Reading a bunch of Dillon's work is a pretty strong class in panel composition and flow.

He's been miscast on superhero books for most of the last twenty years, no question, but people who bitch about his faces are missing a lot.

tbh I think a lot of the complaints come from the fact that his composition has always been great, but his faces have gotten considerably worse/more same-y over the years, which makes it seem that he's either regressing or getting lazy. If he'd always been like that people would probably just chalk it up to "Well, you can't be great at EVERYTHING"

There's a reason the Book of Vile Darkness and the Book of Exalted Deeds are considered the worst 3.5 books by far.

He has always been like that. There's a panel early in Preacher where Featherstone's glasses get knocked off and she's thus made effectively identical to Tulip, who's also a blonde woman with close to the same haircut.

I'd argue that an effective comparison would be somebody like John Romita Jr. He's reliable, professional, timely, and has a thirty-year tradition of not being able to draw children.

Eh, mid-to-late Preacher is where he started to get really bad about it. If you look at early Preacher and his animal man stuff, his faces have a lot more variety, imo. And he got markedly worse post-Preacher.
