This I do not understand. I really liked Deodato's work on Avengers.

Everything is obviously photo referenced. He repeats panels worse than anyone. Every single article of clothing looks like its painted on.
His action scenes are flat and static.
He's just bad.

Not photo referenced, Deodato uses Poser models and draws over the layouts. Other artists use the technique too, but do a better job of hiding it than he does.

He's also not good at hiding the stuff he builds in vector, like those robots from Fear Itself

Well hes definitely referencing Tommy Lee Jones face.
Regardless, my points still stand.
That would explain the plotting out of nowhere that's been going on in the book.

Damn. New Avengers #3 does feel hopeless.
It's good, but dark as hell.
And that prediction was correct...

I would consider throwing in The Ultimates Vol 1 and 2 and Ultimate Spiderman 1-10 or so (I have the Ultimate Collection vol 1-3 which covers issues 1-36 iirc).

Brandon Peterson was the other Avengers artist I was thinking of who uses Poser for model reference and layouts

This weeks comics:
All New X-Men #7: Wooooaaah, this is getting crazy good. To think, I was dreading Bendis taking over the X-Men. I hope his Uncanny can be this great. A+
Avengers #5: Surprisingly good. I didn't like the first arc at all, but I love where it's going now. Especially with
A
New Avengers #3: This surprised me too.

Fearless Defenders #1: Damnit, Cullen Bunn. We were all rooting for you! ;__; C-
Ultimate Spider-Man #20: F off with this garbage. Miles Morales might be the worst Spider-Man of all time. D-

I want the record to show that I never, even for a second, lost faith in Dan Slott, and guess what? He's still churning out some of the best Spidey Stories. I love everything about Superior thru 3 issues.
Holy shit did Stegman fucking bring it this ish too. Incredible stuff.

Wai- whaaaaa?? Thought it was a chick...
Is Superior Spider-Man good? I know Amazing Spidey is ending and wasn't sure if Superior is the book I should transition to or if there will be a reboot of Amazing.

Glad to hear this. Have really enjoyed this series ever since Ellis jumped on. Sad to see it go :\
I thought Amazing Spiderman ended with #700 and Superior spiderman is supposed to be the new flagship series?

New Avengers just joined Hawkguy at the top of my reading priorities after that issue.
I'm even starting to like the main Avengers book more in recent months; first storyline was kinds rough
with the non-linear plot, an less-than-dramatic resolution, and a seemingly deliberate avoidance of why these heroes were called on to expand the roster.
Yeah, I was mixed on the first issue and didn't really like the second, but #3 was great.
Amazing is only "ending" in the sense that it's being temporarily replaced by Superior until a year or so where they switch back to the status quo. If you know what went on in Amazing up through #700, then jumping onto Superior should be fine (though it's too early to say it's good, bad, worth it, etc.). If you're totally in the dark about all things Spider-Man, don't bother with Superior, just read older Amazing trades and/or wait for the book to shift back to Amazing.
There's no clean slate reboot coming though.
I know right? I have to wait until my lunch break to go pick stuff up and I can't even read them until around 8 tonight.
I'm a little better off. Gotta take our cat to the vet but should be able to pick up my books around 530.

Well I was reading Amazing until about issue 688 or 690 or something, but then I stopped reading comics altogether. When I came back I heard Amazing was ending so I didn't bother catching up on the last 12 issues or so. Should I go back and check them out?

Just recently added New Avengers on my pull, but need to read 2 before 3 obviously.
Aside from AXM and Avengers, need to pick up GA #17. Interested to read about Ollie again without both Arrow and most of Nu52 hanging over my head. Hopefully my shop will have it in stock, but they seem to be pretty good in regards to DC stuff.

Based Hickman killed it on New avengers and Avengers. Get on the train.
Smasher: what would a smasher do?
Hulk: SMAAAAAAAAASH

Oh my god.

New Avengers:
This shit is super rad, the "Gone." under the Time Gem and the Watcher/Galactus/Thanos panels were classic Hickman. Shit is gonna go down. At first I was upset that AvX killed Prof X but I really loved Beast in this issue. Loved the conversation between everyone at the end - Reed would do anything for his family, T'Challa would do anything for his country, Beast would do anything for mutantkind. Gotta love these guys' strong characterization. Nice tie in to Avengers #1 at the end there, too.
Avengers:
Smasher Smash! Cool little intro story, nice tie in to the masterpiece FF run. With such a big team, you can tell this one will need a little more time setting everything and everyone up.
It's starting up again with with a new number 1 with Nick Spencer writing.
So how about GREEN ARROW mothereffers?! Huh? What? Holy shitballs!
In other DC news. I finally got around to reading I Vampire 16. Man fuck DC so hard for what they did to this book. There's one artist name on the cover but 3 fucking pencilers worked on the book and it looks like a fucking hot mess. I'm real excited for Sorrentino's shit on Green Arrow, especially having read that first issue (again, holy fucking shit) but there were THREE issues to go on I Vamp and the writing is still so good but the art on the book has been the fucking pits since he left. I'm never going to be not pissed about this. Cancel a book I love, fucking fine, I can deal with that, but don't poach a artist who hadn't missed a single issue off a book that's going to be ending and has a chance to be an amazing, strong run, right as the thrilling conclusion is getting underway.
Even tho Alpha can eat a dick I'm still gonna follow Fialkov to that shit because I feel his pain every time I flip a page of I Vamp and have to deal with what's become of his work.

No doubt they'll have it. I called them a minute ago to make sure they had Mudman in stock, was paranoid they would get like three copies and sell out by the time I'm able to get over there. He was able to put one in my box for later

I feel your pain. I, Vampire was (is) one of my favorite books and Sorrentino's art was magnificent. Sucks that they took him off it at the very end.

Nice. May call the store and have one in my box. Granted though, wonder how many people are clamoring for Green Arrow but eh, may as well.
I dunno if there was anything specific he's talked about but it was supposed to be a 60ish issue run.

Superior Spider-Man was the best issue yet.
Loosing Stegman I going to be rough

I think no one really knows...besides Hickman and Marvel Editors.
Originally the series was going to run between 60 to 70 issues, but they cut more than half of it. Hickman said shortening it fitted his plans, but it really felt rushed to me.
It was still good, but I guess it could have been way better with more time to develop the characters and story.

I didn't know Fairy Quest was today...
I don't think I saw it at the store.
I don't think I saw it at the store.
It's only for six issues though.
Anyway this issue was the one that proved that if Marvel wants to keep Ock as Spidey, that he can carry the book.
New Avengers is going to be good men doing horrible things to save the things they love and god is it going to be good.
Avengers is great stuff, heroes being heroes.
All New X-Men is just plain good, I hope Bendis can keep it up.

He did some of the art for Hickman's FF run.
So yea definite upgrade, he can draw faces. Sort of.
