Why are you so fired up over a little harmless teenage slang? This is 2011, the internet is becoming pervasive, you should expect a little code switching as people spend more of their lives online.

It just shows how Bendis is falling out of touch. Sure his slang was pretty good back when USM started but now he's going down the same road every other old man writer has walked.

X-23 really is one of those concepts that is such a transparent attempt at marketing it's almost insulting, but is actually quite enjoyable as a character when you realize the writers don't write her as "Logan with tits."

Like most distaff counterparts actually...

The entire reason X-23 exists is so Wolverine fans could finally jerk off to him.

The two posts above mine, plus the "Children's Crusade" title made me think it was a story about superheroes transforming into little kid versions of themselves.

It wasn't?

No, it is not. The Children's Crusade title has to do with the Young Avengers.

I finished reading Wizard of Oz last night with Skottie Young and I find the art to be mindblowingly good. After I read a page I would go back to the top of the page and just look at the pictures.
The style was cartoonish and charming, and created a great atmosphere in the comic.
Each character design seems perfect (for me the lion was the best) and is something out a cartoon that would appeal to kids and adults alike.







Scottie Young is way too talented. I wish he was interested in working on comics I'm actually interested in though.

Amusingly enough, Extreme Justice was drawn by Marc Campos who at the time was inked by Ivan Reis. The same Ivan Reis who has found great success and popularity on Green Lantern an Blackest Night. I guess he paid close attention back on EJ and learned exactly what not to do.

It might just be me, but the work of Menton3 pisses me off.
I can't find any images from his comics, but this stuff from his DeviantArt page is about the same:


In general he seems like one of the generic "dark" (Burton inspired) artists on DA that obscures half an image with complete darkness to avoid drawing, and then throws as many photoshop textures as he can to make it look detailed.
It's okay for pinups, but it doesn't lend itself to storytelling at all (there's two pages of text in the first issue of Monocyte to explain what the hell is going on).
What annoys me more is his lettering, which, again, tries to be dark and spooky but is just illegible (IDW owes me for his portion of the Dunwich Horror).

It could just be a stylistic problem, but I hate this darkness soup crap.

I totally agree with you. That stuff hurts my brain when I look at it.

The early 1990s were terrible for having companies insist that their artists draw in the Liefeld/McFarlane "extreme" style, even if it was completely unsuited for them.

There were some amazingly terrible comics launched by the Big 2 to try and ride the pouches/gritted teeth/wild hair/signature scroll/giant cape trend. The books that came out of Zero Hour are the ones that made the biggest impression on me.







Aside from Starman everything that spun out of Zero Hour was pretty horrible.
