I want the next Avengers Arena trade to come out soon. I can't believe I liked it so much, especially since I don't know who any of the characters are.

Haha, I was the same way. Don't know anyone other than Chase and Nico. I like Cammi in this, but probably just because I like the art style and how she's drawn.

I don't think joe mad is a good fit for Inhumans. IMO, it needs an artist like Salvadore Laroca or Dale Eaglesham.
First thing that came to mind. Thought it was a Tie-in to the new Infamous at first.

I think Joe Mad will do a fine job but a fill in artist is a certainty.
I hope they get Stefano Caselli, they both sort of have a similar style.

Marcos Martin would have been amazing for this project.

For me Joe Mad is one of the VERY FEW artists I have on autobuy. Lots of artists I enjoy, normally it comes down the characters and story whether I grab their books.
That said, that cover is not making me want that book.

Cammi is my favorite character so far. I need to go back and read Annihilation again because I don't even remember her in it.

Y'all see that cover for her issue? Amazeballs.
Death Locket is still my fave across the board.

They need to give Joe Mad a damn inker again
what he really needs is for christian lichtner to color all of his pencils

The majority of his work that I've seen has all been from the Darksiders games, so it's really hard to make a determination based on just that.

Joe Mad will be on the book for three issues tops. I doubt he returns.

Expected but I'm buying those issues for sure. The keep ratio for big artist announces is laughable. That's why my idea for Brit style runs with breaks makes even more sense than monthly, oh I'm sorry biweekly books. Ruining the industry for $$.

Well and also a temporary fix would be to give these brahs more lead time. Like DC shouldve done with Jae Lee on Batman/Superman since the book doesnt tie in with anything.
Joe Mad's work is very dynamic, and his action scenes were some of the best in the industry at his height in the 90s. His anatomy is very loose and exaggerated, but not nearly as bad as some like Humberto Ramos whose art I think goes for the same sort of feel. You can see Joe Mad's influence on artists like Francis Manapul.

I'll assume "bad" is all relative here. I don't think loose anatomy = bad art. It's just a very stylistic approach.
I meant that Ramos' Giraffes are more exaggerated than Joe Mad's characters.

Totally in love with both artists. I think Ramos draws with joy and that it shows.
I like Ramos on some things, and dislike him on others. I liked his Crimson series, and most of his Spider-man work. I think he is a lot better as a sequential artist than he is at a cover artist. That said, his characters are a lot more stylized than most.
EDIT: Re-reading it, my previous post comes off as more mean spirited than I intended. I actually prefer the more cartoony artists to the photorealistic ones.
I couldn't get down with Ramos for most of his stuff in ASM. I don't know why but I dig his work in Superior though.
I think it depends on the arc with Ramos. I liked him on the opening arc of Big Time and the bit he did of Spider-Island. That said I didn't like him in issue 700. He does well with big fight scenes or stuff with lots of movement, at least for me. I think that's why you liked him in Superior, his arc had a lot of movement if I remember right.

so he can use his powers sometimes?
Yeah, that's definitely true. I still am not a huge fan of his human faces. His Cap always tends to bug me too.
His Wolverine is fucking atrocious. It's all neck.
The first half is the best half, i ended up buying vol 1 and 2 of the deluxe hardcovers despite not really having an interest in owning the last two. It's still worth a read though and you'll probably/possibly/probably like it unless you tend to dislike stuff.
I managed to read a random comic out of my large stack of stuff: the Eternity one-shot by Jeff Lemire for the quickly dead national comics dc line. It was okay, shame nothing is going to come from it.

So the new writer for Batman Beyond took over today. It was just the first part of the Batgirl Beyond 3-parter so no idea if he'll be any good though. It looks like he's going to be building off the last Beyond arc's themes though:

3 questions:
- Is the Young Avengers everyone is raving about the old 2006 one by Cheung and Heinberg or the new 2013 one by Gillen and McKelvie?
- This Deadpool Omnibus HC, is it a good pickup for someone NOT familiar with the character at all?
- Should i pick up "the Definitive Silver Surfer" Marvel Platinum as a good character intro or is there better out there that is easy to find?

I really like his Superior work too! I think he keeps improving with each series he's been put on. Slott doing these short arcs actually work to his advantage by making SSM feel fresh every time there's an artist change.
Only when Reed is sure it won't somehow destroy the space-time continuum, which is almost never.
But if 6 Angry Celestials are there to destroy everything, all bets are off.

A thousand times yes I wish I had waited and not bought the first three classic volumes of Kelly's run.
They're both good. The early one peters out a bit eventually, but the new one is good albeit in a different way.
