I watched it last night man. Not bad at all.

I wish they would've covered the 70s in a little more depth. I don't know That much about that comic book era

I'll make sure to watch it again.

I love how Marvel was the trendsetter in realism

 

[My Spot]

So Kirkman actually killed off an OG instead of another predictable false flag. Kudos.

Now that GotG v2 is out. How dumb do you think all the folks that snatched up Darkhawk comics at a premium feel right now?

For the past few months leading up, there was an uptick in Dark Hawk due to his action figure being released under the GotG banner. Some had even thought it was gonna be Stallone. Not even folks associated with the movie saying that DH was not in the movie could dissuade the speculation.

I guess it's back to the dollar bin for ol' Dark Hawk now.

Anyone read Secret Empire 1 yet.


Have to admit it's a very well written, tightly plotted book with amazing art work. So on the technical level this comic book it's damn good.

The only problem is I don't care about the storyline of Cap being a hydra agent alol The way back to WW2. Let's not forget somehow Thor has bought into being a fascist on hydras side.


Also imo the entire thing will revert back to status quo once the cosmic cube is used.

Loved it. Marvel basically said as, much in a statement to ABC News. Stupid bastards.

I stumbled upon a Superman artwork yesterday and was very impressed. I didn't recognize the artist (Jorge Jimenez) and decided to google some of his artwork. Wow. He's now one of my favorite artist (even though I haven't read yet any of the books he has worked on).

Here are a few samples of his work:

Some of those are sharp. He reminds me of somebody, but can't place it. He gave Supes downs in 2 of those images.

Does he draw any cool interesting characters, or just DC?

He reminds me of a cross between Olivier Coipel and Joe Madureira.

More Humberto Ramos than Joe Mad. I do see Olivier, too, but also something else. He's got a few things going on. Is he young/ just starting out?

Francis Yu, yeah?

@Secret Agent

Oh yeah I can see a little of Humberto Ramos in there as well. There's a smidge of Kevin Nowlan in Jorge's style for me as well.

Yeah, Jorge's relatively young. I think I have read some of his earlier works in Justice Society. I was super impressed with the artist back then and I think that might be him.

 

[Dragonlordxxxxx]

Francis Yu, yeah?

@Secret Agent

Francis Yu, blah. Was never a fan of his work. I can see the potential but it's just not there.

 

[Anung Un Rama]

I was never a fan of him either, but I see some of his style (along w/ Ramos, etc) in Jorge's stuff.

I figured, from the sampled you provided it looked like he was still refining his style. Not to say he's not awesome already, just noticing some inconsistencies (more Ramos here, more Yu there, etc).
Really cool.

 

[val_lixembeau]

I can definitely see some Ramos, especially in the Superboy/Robin shot. Maybe a bit of Alan Davis in the posing too, except with more exaggerated/cartoony physiques.

 

[minute bull]

I believe you're thinking of Kevin Nowlan.

 

[The Clinch]

Maaaan Sorrentino's art is longer featured in Old Man Logan and while I like Deodato's style quite a bit, it's just not going to be the same.

Lemire's no longer crafting the story either, which is a shame. Hoping this title can stay golden.

Already losing Silver Surfer at issue #14.

Was pleasantly surprised last week when a guy at the LCS slipped in Allred's Mary Jane cover to Avengers in my pull tab, debated on getting it until I saw Noto's doing the interior art, and he's great. Allllso Noto is following up a story arc that was arted up by del Mundo, who is also great, while the whole Avengers thing is being written by Waid. So hey, ya got me on Avengers for now, Marvel.

***And crap, OML looks just like overmuscled, big goofy haired Wolverine of old now just with grey hair.
