Then post it. This isn't a request thread.

Anyway despite not liking his work on Scarlet Alex Maleev can do great work when not relying too much on photo referencing.

This is too much. It has so much detail that it's abstract. I can't tell what's happening here, is it raining or something exploding? Am I looking down on it, or is it coming from far in the distance? Are those buildings or tubes? There's sort of human-like shapes at the bottom, but there's also a lot of scribbles like he went crazy with a spirograph, too.

That would be neat if it were in a modern art museum, but as a page in a graphic novel, it's a mess.

Edit: I didn't even notice the giant head at the top.

It's a top down view of a street fight while it's raining. It's more clearer in the coloured version but that's covered in narration that takes away from it.

Heh, apparently Murdock has Booty Sonar based on that image.

Martin is simply tremendous. His panel layouts, the sense of motion he conveys, everything. I may be mis-remembering, but when he was working on Amazing Spider-Man, I swear the letters column was full of people trashing his art, and my mind was boggled. They had to be 12 year old Greg Land fanatics whose tastes hadn't matured yet, at least that's what I tell myself. Another reason I pretty well stay on SA for my comic discussion. Here's a few things I pulled from google image search:

These 4 are from Amazing Spider-Man 655

First the cover:


And some interior work:







That final one is so simple, yet amazingly effective. I better stop before I post that full issue, I love it.

This next one I don't have a source for. Possibly Captain America 50? I know he worked on that. Based on the page I found it on, it sounds like someone removed text from the page also:



Edit: I feel dumb. The links should work, but how do I get linked thumbnails from imgur?

Thumbnail code is just [*TIMG]url[*/TIMG] minus the *

And a little more Martin for good measure.

I wanted to say that Hulk Annual was by Mark Millar because it seems like such a Millar idea, but it was actually Paul Jenkins. I think I got them mixed up because they were both writers who did a couple of things I really loved circa 2000 and then slowly whittled that good faith down to nothing.

And to keep this on topic and be vaguely self-promoting, Marvel Fanfare was an old anthology where they used to run random "Portfolios" of pin-ups by an artist, which ranged from mediocre to loving Awesome. I'm putting up one a day for at least the next month on my tumblr but here are some BSS EXCLUSIVES for the time being

I thought Danny didn't take over for Matt until he was in jail which was well past this point, wasn't it?

Yes.

Bendis put Matt in jail at the end of his run. The end of Brubakers first arc Matt finds out that there's another Daredevil running around New York so breaks out to see who it is.

It turns out to be Iron Fist who had received a request to dress up as Daredevil while Matt was in jail and had presumed that Matt/Foggy had made the request to take some of the heat of Matt. Vanessa Fisk ends up being the mastermind in a big long "last act of vengeance" plan.

There was some bad back tracking over the identity from Marvel when the reveal was accidently leaked early.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:

Wasn't it guessed instead of leaked? Mainly because of that Deadpool issue? Deadpool get's kicked in the face by Daredevil and has an internal monologue box of "Why does this feel familiar?" and someone compared it a panel 2 issues earlier with Ironfist kicking him in the exact same pose?

I don't remember the Deadpool stuff but it was revealed as Marvel hosed up the "directors cut" issue of Civil War #1. They included the script for the issue in the book which had Daredevils identity in it but with a black bar through it. Marvel stupidly left the original type under the black bar so it was easily seen by just holding the page up to the light. They tried to double back by saying that there was various different names under the black bar but nobody ever found a physical copy and they revealed they were full of poo poo once the actual Daredevil reveal issue came out.

I can only assume that the folks defending Andrews have not actually read "Xenogenesis", because holy crap does every human being in it look awful. Some of them just look worse than others.

He may have done okay work elsewhere but this is indefensible stuff.

I have. It's great, I've posted samples from it in this thread before of how great the book looks. Andrews is one of the best artists working today.

Yes.

Again like a lot of stuff in the thread Igor Kordey is a good artist and his New X-Men issues are nowhere near a correct representation of his work. He was doing multiple books at the same time and was just the fill in artist for Quitely literally churning out entire issues in a week.

I would take a good artist rushing or having an off day over traced porn, even if that Emma image is the result.

Nonsense, look at the angle of her legs and positioning of hips and glutes in the yoga picture. Then look at the comic cover. Completely different and kinesiologically unsound.

content:

Concept art (unfortunately couldn't find the artist) of Drax vs. Thanos, probably around Thanos Imperative; I love imagery of a less-goofy and more scary-rear end Thanos.


The artist is Gabriele Dell'Otto (his signature is on it but google has a pretty good reverse image search too). His style has kind of progressed over the last few years so the brush strokes are less visible. If you want to see a book of his work he did Secret War with Bendis a few years back.
