I love Mack but I find reading his stuff a a bit slow because I end up taking so much time pouring over the art. He's appropriate for certain types of stories.

 Guy on reddit posted his commission of Kitty Pryde from Kris Anka. How much would something like this cost?

If he's posting his commissions on a public forum like Reddit I'm sure you could just ask him.

I just mean in general from a top tier artist, is it a couple of hundred bucks or more than a thousand?

If she was a "pug-nosed imp" then I'm guessing she stopped off at the plastic surgeon's office before hitting the beauty parlour.

All of the Strange Tales Max miniseries basically qualifies for this thread (one way or another), but this page from #3, goddamn.

david_a posted:Wasn't that the point to begin with? I thought the original concept of Judge Dredd was a satire of Thatcher/Reagan "tough on crime" nonsense: what if society actually worked like Dirty Harry/Death Wish, i.e. there are individuals in power who are judge, jury, and executioner all rolled into one. I never really paid attention to who wrote which stories, though. What's scary in hindsight is that the first Dredd story came out only six years after Dirty Harry, and three months before Star Wars. The man's been busting heads for forty years!

Yeah, Dredd was a response to the same social trends (rising crime, urban unrest) that led to Dirty Harry and Death Wish and eventually the elections of Reagan and Thatcher. It was all part of the same phenomenon. The other big influence on early Dredd were the writings of pop futurist Alvin Toeffler, especially his book Future Shock.

I've been reading old Fantastic Four and man, Kirby swerved from odd to great.  I always loved that everyone's eyes were huge with big lashes when Kirby drew them. It does seem around the Galactus story they started really letting him loose though and good god.  And his Silver Surfer will always be just my favorite thing.  The guy always looked like he was about to murder you or fall off his board. Not much in between. Basically what I'm saying is Jack Kirby was a good artist who drew people oddly sometimes. And this Johnny Storm/Crystal relationship seemed forced at first but it worked out in the end. Marvel Unlimited is awesome but there's some gaps. I was trying to read X-Men and suddenly it jumped from issue like 60 to 94. Well there were some changes around that point...

Um I think you'll find Kirby, a man who was slamming pages out at a rate that puts even the fastest artist today to shame, can do no wrong. Seriously though I love his bad guys. He draws an awesome Wizard debut in Strange Tales and then the next time the Wizard appears he's drawn by Don Heck or someone and it just loses all that magic. The Puppet Master is another one like that. Great when drawn by Kirby, awful when drawn by an imitator. As for X-Men, those were the reprint issues, no? I think almost all the early Marvel stuff is up on MU now until you get into the 70s and some of the weirder niche horror stuff.

67 would be when X-Men switched from original stories to reprints until the Giant-Sized relaunch.

Yeah, it was cancelled with 66, brought back as a reprint title later, and then started doing new stories again with 94. The only thing you missed was some odd final issues (climaxing in the revelation that Prof. X had faked his death to prepare for an alien invasion, and Jean knew the whole time) and Giant-Sized X-Men #1 introducing the new team.

I actually saw that! That explains it. Now I gotta pick up on that later. Didn't know it did reprints and whatever and I was all "ok, I guess Wolverine is here now." I was hyped to find out more about Lucifer who I never really knew about other than "he crippled Professor X."

If you really hate your free time and think it holds no value you can track down X-Men: The Hidden Years which is what happened between 66 and Giant Size. It's 20 something issues long and not very good and came out right around the time the first movie hit. It's by John Byrne, but I feel I'm just basically repeating the "not very good" part by telling you that.

I have heard that's the one where Byrne allegedly wanted to retcon out Magneto's backstory as a Holocaust survivor for the sake of spiting Claremont.

Rhyno posted:Spider-man Chapter One. It's possibly the hated Spider-man book ever. I remember Chapter One mostly because Byrne took great pride in shitcanning the very good Untold Tales early-continuity stories (by Busiek) because only he, John Byrne, was worthy of scribbling his crayons all over those early Lee/Kirby/Ditko Spider-Man stories. Wikipedia tells me that Byrne also did the same thing to Hulk, and that both series have been largely removed from current continuity.

Byrne really does think that only HE is capable of crafting stories that can stand alongside Stan and Jack's work. Look what he did to the Demon and Doom Patrol once he got control of them.

I consider Chapter One and the JMS stories Sins Past/Spider-Totem Bullshit the worst Spider-Man books ever written. By a long shot.
