Y'know, that page speaks volumes to Quitely's eye for design. Without knowing what the script called for, I would think many artists would clutter up the scope in the first panel with crosshairs or crappy readouts (mutants detected!). Hell, Van Sciver probably would've found a way to inject his name, or "sex" in the frame. But with Quitely it's a simple, but hauntingly quiet panel where the black space beautifully illustrates the claustrophobic tunnel-vision of using a scope while delivering on the paranoiac terror of being watched in such an intimate situation. I don't think any artist in comics uses negative space better than Quitely.
Even the setting, a steep slope in the woods, is incredibly interesting to the eye and allows him to draw Beak and Angel in a more suggestive way.

Took a break from Doom to play the Far Harbor DLC for Fallout 4. This is actually pretty good. Why didn't they make the game this fun when it first came out?

At least until I can teach Freeza and Messi how to play overwatch properly.
We are all going to read comics on Tuesday and talk about what we think of them.
This is GAF. We never partake in our hobbies, we just talk about them.

Just in time for Rebirth!
I want to clarify that I am creating a Library for future comic readers.

Squirrel Girl comes out next week so no one can stop reading comics
Man all these Rebirth books are only £1.99 and they double ship? hopefully Joshua Williamson makes Flash not terrible so I can pick that up along with Batman and a few others.

Does it really need to be said?
Glad I'm not the only person looking forward to Total Warhammer.

Blizzard picked a great time to release those Overwatch comics.
I still cant believe that game isn't called Total Warhammer

I just call it that. Everybody should just call it that.
i don't know what we are talking about but it sounds like stalking.
Also finished the pre-SW Deadpool run, i liked the last issue but his marriage is still kinda " this is a thing that is here"

D.Va and Mei are officially on my shitlist cuz of this community.
D.VA is so cool and has some of my favorite skins but the internet is just going to oversexualize the girl characters.
Only a matter of time before we get shirtless mei art.
I think that's the only good thing Hump wrote, why DC treated his jump for Rebirth was a big deal, I have no clue. That's Big Show jumping from WCW to WWF deals of mehness.

D. Va is okay, but Mei is like the fun police. Nothing more frustrating than an incompetent friendly Mei "saving" you from somebody you were about to kill.

I'm not getting Overwatch. I haven't even started Uncharted. All I play is MLB The Show Baseball and read comics.

Name one. Exactly.
I try to avoid using image search when it comes to that stuff.

Just wrapped up Zenith Phase 3. Definitely the best of the series so far and a damn good comic book. You've got a cool multiverse battle with some well executed twists. This is also the start of Morrison just doing his thing which is always fun. Like, Maximan's speaking pattern and the whole plot of Lloigor were classic Morrison lol.
I think my only real hangup with the series so far is that some of the action can be a little hard to follow due to the black and white. I guess the argument could be made that the violence isn't really the real focal point, but still. I do really dig the designs for the characters so I'm happy either way.
I think I feel pretty comfortable in saying that late 80s-early 90s Morrison is my favorite era of his work. It feels really fresh and sincere and I have an incredibly difficult time stopping once I start. Things like this and Doom Patrol are just so addicting. I still love a lot of newer stuff, like Batman, but I'm enjoying this a lot more than something like Nameless. Still need to read Annihilator though.

Loved that panel. Yeowell really nails it when it comes to setting the mood or doing those close-ups. Looks really stylish throughout.
edit: I saw your avatar at the comic shop too. I don't know what it was but it was a big book.
