Can we talk about comics in here? The off topic stuff is overpowering. Get it together lads.

But Messi, I AM talking about comics.

 

[Owzers]

You nerds wanted your heroes to look less like anime and more classic. There ya go.


Do you think the change isn't as important as the writer is making it out to be?

I'm not sure, it seemed to happen too quickly and then immediately went in the background of the book, like a box got checked off, and that's also how the characters portray what they did. We solved that problem, next. I'm pretty sure that i am growing less interested in Marvel in general though too, especially with the focus now on Civil War 2 and Hickman leaving.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Whoooooa. I never said classic anything. Alex Ross art worked for Kingdom Come and Justice, but that's about it. Really not a style I'm fond of.

Don't lie. You want to marry his interiors.

Spoiler

I just like his covers. Although I'm curious what his interiors on a Star Wars comic would look like.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Seems Vol.3 still doesn't come out for a bit.

It's the final volume that's in July. Still plenty of material in the first two to get you going

that Good? I ve been eyeing the them for a while

YES! I did a write up a couple months back. I'll try to find it.

In other news. Looking at MU updates this cover stood out. We need more covers calling our heroes as coward

Batman by Neal Adams Omnibus tomorrow, is it worth it?

 

[Poodlestrike]

Batman by Neal Adams Omnibus tomorrow, is it worth it?

Art: yes, definitely.

Writing: how much do you love exclamation points on a scale from 10! to 10!!!!!!?

Oh, really? I was under the impression that it was going to be four volumes.

Sounds good

New artist drawing Batgirl is from Brazil. Nice headline title BC:
http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/03/07/batgirl-to-get-a-brazilian-for-dc-comics-rebirth/

If true it's either: Ed Benes, RB Silva, or Jorge Jimenez. I'm banking on Jimenez.

i read that headline and took it at face value.

 

[frye]

it's def not gonna be Ed "Butts" Benes

 

[ViewtifulJC]

they were shot....when...they.....

...you can't....they were DOING THEIR TRAPEZE ACT!

oh...my dear god

Robin...Dick.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

But the booty.........

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Ed Benes on Batgirl would be the next best thing to Greg Land suddenly coming on

like was Frank Cho not available

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Oh, really? I was under the impression that it was going to be four volumes.

Ah looks like you're correct but they're doing it out of order and putting the side volumes of the Non Mack drawn volumes last. I saw Vol 3 contained the last Volume and figured they were done.

And here was my write up

Ed Benes on Batgirl would be the next best thing to Greg Land suddenly coming on

And yet I did enjoy both of them on the original Birds of Prey series. Back then Land actually drew

Frank Cho on Batgirl would be too much. Benes is enough for DC to handle.

Say what you want about Cho, but his art is pretty ace.

lol remember when DC put Benes with Gail Simone on Birds of Prey

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Was there a giant backlash back then?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I remember when Gail Simone wrote some big post defending his artistic choices, too.

lol remember when people checked for Gail Simone comics

Gail Simone is a very outspoken comic writer.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Not super familiar with Benes, but looking at a quick Bing search (because you know that's how you get the most lascivious shit), I don't see anything super objectionable. He's got a type for sure, and that type is cheesecake, but it's nowhere near Land-tier, so unless he's got some Cho-tier trolling going on... eh.

He likes drawing nice looking thongs, thighs, and butts.

I don't think the Galactus story is over. The solution to his problem was pretty quick but I think Ewing is saving him up for something big.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Nope. They worked on the book for years. And id say their run was the highest in the series popularity. And is most likely Gail's most successful book. Either that or secret six. Plus she does write for dynamite now. Maybe she likes that style/look

 

[frye]

Was there a giant backlash back then?

it wasn't like.... Greg Land on Spider-Woman or anything but the online comics community has changed a lot in the last 7 years. Back then it was 10 people talking among themselves in the comment sections of blogs

ayy lmao

 

[Serpentine]

lol remember when DC put Benes with Gail Simone on Birds of Prey

They had a brief reunion in the middle of her Batgirl run too, just in case there were people still reading

Clearly Bianchi is the next step

Hmmm, not bad.

Was his the run that started with the Ghost Box arc?

 

[frye]

also my favourite obscure Ed Benes fact is that he has a brother named Fred Benes who honestly might like drawing butts even more than Ed (and not even as well!)

Doesn't he own a company dedicated to having artists draw just like him? I don't know if it's true but I think he's a pretty big deal in Brazil.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

I don't really care for his art but these frye posts about Ed Benes are great

 

[BKatastrophe]

I believe so

will buy

I believe so

The change in art going into that arc was pretty jarring.

idk about him in particular but that was a relatively big thing in the 90s for more popular artists

I can't stay mad at Spiderverse SW tie-in, it has given me a new avatar.

 

[MG310]

What if it's Rafael Albuquerque?

 

[Brian Fellows]

It was a fun tie in.

 

[BKatastrophe]

Well I mean when you come off of Cassaday for 20 or so issues, anything will be jarring

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

What if it's Rafael Albuquerque?

That would be cool but some people would think his style is too dark for Batgirl.

 

[Freezasaurus]

So wait. I caught a headline today about the MCU Spidey reboot. I need to know who of what a "Zendaya" is.

Never heard of it.

Is it? Naaaaaaah.

[Boogiepop]

This isn't the same series that was released a ways back as the Elektra Complete Collection, was it?

I'm not personally familiar with that, but from a Google search if you're talking about that "Ultimate Collection" thing that I'm finding, then that looks to be something different.

Also, time to hunker down and read through Astonishing X-men, to follow up on my read through of New X-men a bit ago!

 

[BKatastrophe]

Time for a reread

They'll cast anyone in these Spider-Man movies these days.
