I don't like her faces.

Makes sense, dude. Focus.
Lovin' these daily giveaways.
Ugh, these are the ongoing, never-ending decisions to be made. I have the walking dead trades 1-22, then a few digital trades, now I'm switching to floppies.
I think the ideal is HCs. But I am cursed with the desire to be current. Favorite indie titles: thick paper floppies. DC and Marvel stuff in digital. But digital is too expensive with the Canadian low dollar. So I'll end up with most stuff in floppies and will have to give stacks away regularly because I ain't got room for all that. Some titles I am LTTP on that I'll get in HC eventually. Bitch Planet, Hellboy, Scalped and others. I read Saga in trade.
Nice one, m8.

No, just means there is an additional problem.
Perfectly legitimate complaint. I can see why others don't like it. I am not its biggest fan either. But its hardly the awful art people make it out to be. She seems to be getting better as she gets more comfortable too. Sure i'd like a different artist but I wont drop the book because of her. I will drop the book if the tone doesn't improve.
fair enough then.
Do you plan on continuing with the series? I don't see her leaving any time soon. She seems pretty into staying if her twitter is to be believed.
I think Messi told me of another book with Lex as the main protagonist, but it was written by another team... Really cant remember the names and the title. And I always only find the Man of Steel bool from Azzarello.

Well I'm still reading so I don't hate her art THAT much. But it's just disappointing when I think about how good this book could be if Roc wasn't a woman beating dickhead.

I couldn't see myself ever dropping it unless it got Ultimates 3 levels of bad.
I do agree that a change of tone to something more fun, while keeping the character drama, is for the best.
If Rat Queens was a D&D campaign, this is the point where the players have settled into their roles, but the DM has been up all night writing New Lore and cramming it in. A session or two where the players just fight monsters and play off each other in between battles is needed.

It's not "bad", it's just generic. And I don't like it. And I don't have to like it. And you can't make me, you're not my real mom anyway.
I don't know at this point. I know I don't look forward to it the way I used to.
Pretty much this.

You're right. Their faces are too chubby. Everyone has chubby-face!!!
This tells me we are heading in the right direction.
December 30th is the new issue and another in January. Its nice to be getting more Rat Queens on schedule.

the first page is alright but that second page is pretty bleh
^That art up there looks fine. It's pretty good. I haven't seen much from Tess, but it seems fine. I will say, though, I'm actually not a huge fan of Sejic art, from the stuff I've seen. I don't like the way he/she draws faces, and it just generally doesn't do much for me.
Don't hurt me, messi.

I feel the opposite. The second page at least takes my attention off of all of the too-chubby faces.
I was going to say, I think the second page is better, too.

Those kinky erotic books have real everyday advicessad to have to put you on the ignore list but it needs to be done.
nothing??

Dislike everything I've seen of Sejic's art also I'm afraid. The sketchy line work, the same face, the coloring, the bad background work. There's also something really uncanny valley about the faces when they try to show emotion too.
sad to have to put you on the ignore list but it needs to be done.
nothing??
I don't hate it. I just...I don't know. Maybe it's the long mouths on all the characters or something. Something turns me off from the art style. I don't think it's bad and I wouldn't ever say that, but I will say that's just not for me.

Also what's up with those speech bubble tails am I right?
Another one bites the dust
Love it, especially when he uses them to indicate emotions like having hearts or skulls in them.

That's what I thought you were talking about, don't know any other Luthor series.

I think that looks okay, is that Fowler? I'm not up to date on Rat Queens, I need to catch up.
I think Sejic is okay but he's not one of my favorites. I think his linework is too messy.

I must just have a higher tolerance for art than most people. I can't think of anyone I really dislike offhand except for Land.
I did start reading comics in the 90s though. That probably has a lot to do with it.

Usagi Yojimbo did it first.

Not really. Just derivative.

I don't like how long they all are though. Every single bubble doesn't need that curve, it's distracting.
A lot of derivative art out there in that case...
Ehhhh, I don't think being the second person in a really crowded genre to do something is really derivative, lol.

I'm all caught up. I have nothing left to read. Feels weird.

Wait, this is what y'all have been kvetching about?
Rat Queens fans are a selective bunch.
Everything is derivative, it's just a question of what a creator does with it.

You're missing out on some of the best that Japanese gaming have to offer.
Yes, Tess is fine. Not spectacular but not the dreadful artist some seem intent on making her out to be. I'm not even talking about here right now.

Messi, no one likes taking a step back in art quality. If you go from an Upchurch to a Sejic to a Fowler, it's a case of which-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-other. It's nothing personal, I just don't like her style and feel it doesn't suit the book as well as the other two.
Speaking of Tess Fowler, I loved this drawing she did.
Thats fair enough. Glad it doesn't bother me as much as it does others then.

That, I like. See? I can be objective. But how long did she spend on that? More than on the average RQ page, I'm guessing.
Zombone only stops in from time-to-time these days.
He lost interest in the day to day posting here. I dont blame him sometimes tbh. Plus the google chat has taken away some of the off topic chat. People are welcome to join if they like btw. I am sorry but Grandharrier posts in there. Can't all be winners.

I feel like you people defending her art are proving our point for us. So far we have...
"It's fine"
"It's okay"
"It's not awful"
"It's not dreadful"
That is some high praise for what was once one of the best looking books on the market.
I am not going to call her a fantastic artist. I just don't like the attitude that she is the reason the book is not great right now. Wiebe is writing a dull ass story right now.

I can't disagree with that. This whole Wizard College story line is not doing a whole lot for me either.
