Deadly Class was awesome. Slice of life story. This book reads more like a reality TV show than a serialized TV show. What makes that work is the incredible characters.

Skimmed through Justice League and it was amusing to see Jason Fabok do a better job drawing Wonder Woman than his mentor David Finch. I think Fabok is probably my favorite of that house style, Jim Lee-esque style. He seems to understand the human form and seems to draw decent action scenes. Let's face it, New52 Justice League is never going to have an Ian Bertram, Chris Burnham, or even a Babs Tarr style artist on it, so at least it has a solid house style type.

I also liked Fabok's comments on his design choices for Diana:

I also want my Wonder Woman to look strong, square and big. I want her to be a presence. To be honest, drawing many of the comic book female characters make me uncomfortable because most of them are portrayed as sexual eye candy. I don't believe that being sexy or beautiful is a bad thing, but I never like having to always portray characters like that.

With Wonder Woman, I can draw her to be big, strong and confident without over sexualizing her pose or appearance. It's a tough thing, because she wears very little when it comes to her costume. It is always easier to draw a female with her hip out and looking curvy, but I really want to take a different direction as I draw her in this book. I want the reader to see that this woman can go toe to toe with anyone and come out in top. She doesn't need to flaunt her beauty to get somewhere. She can just be herself and kick some butt.

 

[fauxtrot]

^ Fabok fucking gets it, man. That's what I want to see artists do with Diana and other characters that don't have the whole "use my sexuality to my advantage" thing as an important part of their persona. That shit is played out for the most part, and has been for a long time.


edit - Also, Howard the Duck! I'll bite. All the little sight gags on the image (I'm assuming the first cover) they released are great (DCUK, Playbill, etc).

 

[KoruptData]

I second that Fabok is the best house stlye artist at DC. Super nice and humble guy on Twitter and always wants to get better.

That ending - FINALLY

 

[Kipp]

Man, this New Orleans arc of Preacher is just great. So much great stuff.

edit - Also, Howard the Duck! I'll bite. All the little sight gags on the image (I'm assuming the first cover) they released are great (DCUK, Playbill, etc).

I love the fact that the name on the door is "HOWARD T. DUCK" as if his middle name is "The."
This could be the most fun comic book in years.

 

[KoruptData]

That ending - FINALLY

I know!

 

[my name is ed]

I think it would be more interesting if comics artists weren't humble and acted a little more like rappers. Trash talking each other and declaring themseleves the g.o.a.t.'s and art gods.

 

[fauxtrot]

And rather than coming out with diss tracks, they would release really well done drawings of other artists in embarrassing situations.

This may not be a good thing once they start shooting each other at cons, though.

New artist on Rat Queens coming.

I un-ironically think Battle Beast is my favorite character of all time.

Not totally surprising. I wonder who he will get.

 

[TetraxShards]

Tough, but ultimately the correct decision.

There's no chance we end up with the issues we have already being redrawn, is there?

I hope he's able to find an artist that can work the same kind of magic Upchurch is capable of... and that Roc and his family get the help they need for the sake of everyone involved. We can argue about who's to blame in the situation, but either way no child deserves to have to be a part of that.

Tough, but ultimately the correct decision.

There's no chance we end up with the issues we have already being redrawn, is there?

I'd say no way... I haven't ever heard of a situation like that happening. They'll just replace him and try to put this whole thing behind them.

 

[tim1138]

Brandon Graham.

Pretty much.

 

[crimsonspider89]

That ending - FINALLY

Yeah Deadly Class is great.

Marvel needs to give Remender a teen hero book ASAP.

He obviously gets teenagers better than most writers.

Who do you want on Daredevil after Waid leaves the series and how should the tone be?

 

[fauxtrot]

Who do you want on Daredevil after Waid leaves the series and how should the tone be?

Bendis will probably take over again just in time for the new series on Netflix, which is based on his previous run! YAYYYyyy....

 

[crimsonspider89]

Bendis will probably take over again just in time for the new series on Netflix, which is based on his previous run! YAYYYyyy....

I don't think so. I just don't think Bendis is going to stay with Marvel past his X-Men and USM run.

Jason Aaron.

LOL, Bendis was the first I thought of, but I honestly cant believe that it will be good (then again, Daredevil End of Days was fantastic...)

I hope its going to be dark again. I like Waids lighthearted style, but I think of Daredevil as a very tragic hero.

I don't think so. I just don't think Bendis is going to stay with Marvel past his X-Men and USM run.

Oh boy, dude, dont give me that much hope
This would be like christmas and birhday together

 

[TetraxShards]

Who do you want on Daredevil after Waid leaves the series and how should the tone be?

Remender, doing something similar to his Punisher run. Just weird stuff happening to Matt. Also, he should move back to New York.

That won't happen though. It'll probably be Soule, doing diet Bendis.

 

[SoilBreak]

Superior Iron Man #1

Didn't thought it was that bad.

Or maybe I'm just desperate to read a new Iron Man comic.

 

[fauxtrot]

I don't think so. I just don't think Bendis is going to stay with Marvel past his X-Men and USM run.

If I was a betting man, my money would be on him transitioning into a position that gives him more control over non-comics related Marvel ventures, like Jeph Loeb did.

Yo are you a part of the Axis event, because this is the inverse of what actually happens.

 

[MG310]

That's my guess though I think he would lean a bit more towards She-Hulk style.

 

[E the Shaggy]

Pretty much this.

I don't know what character is even left for Bendis to write at this point. He'll probably write Ultimate Spidey forever regardless of what he does.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

cancelling it just in time to make it darker/grittier for the Netflix show ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

As for Deadly Class, Remender is doing his thing, character building, training exercises, love triangles, team dynamics/relationships, clear antagonistic dramatic stakes, etc, but I'm telling you the real stars are Wes Craig and Lee Loughridge, them dudes are ALWAYS on point. The color choices they use for mood and atmosphere(page 1 and 2), the clever page layouts that always enhance the storytelling and never obscuring it, the tension they can build up to to big moment of indecision of regret(the giant black line works like gangbusters, this still quiet that seems to last forever). Not to take anything away from Rick, but he might have my favorite ongoing art team right now.

Hes part of the creaticir counsoul of the MCU... I hope he stays the fuck away from my Marvel movies

 

[Face it Tiger..]

Sorry I tried Harley Quinn's series and it seemed kind of mediocre. Not bad perse, just didn't grab me.

DC doesn't seem to know what they want to do with the Harley character.
One minute she's an unrepentant child killer, next its happy zany hi-jinks, are we having fun yet?

Marvel won't be making real movies until Thanos bites off Hope Van Dyne's head in Infinity War. That dramatic impact.

 

[Future Foundation]

So, apparently Mitch Gerards is kind of a tracer? Has this been something that's been going around for a while (Mitch tracing. I mean)?

 

[crimsonspider89]

IDK, I honestly think Whedon and him don't like each other. And Whedon is supposed to be editing the MCU after he quits directing. The comic side is leaning towards Hickman/Remender style of writers.

 

[fauxtrot]

So thanks to Comics Alliance's Best Art Ever (This Week), I stumbled across this 3D modeler's blog (Volatile-Vortex) and he has some great Adventure Time / Batman mashups... I would buy all of these if they somehow were released.

Finn / Batman:

Princess Bubblegum / Batgirl of Burnside:

And my absolute favorite,
B-MO / Alfred:

I didn't want to blow up the thread with a dozen pics, so here are links to Gunter / The Penguin, King Worm / Mad Hatter, and Ice King / Mr. Freeze.

 

[ReAxion]

man those are great.

I am saddened that I cannot purchase these with my monies.

Batman/Superman was damn good

Look at this thing I found on deviant art. I wish I could buy one. It's really freaky and cool. As much as I dislike edgy harley.

 

[fauxtrot]

That Harley model is as unsettling as it is cool... I would be afraid she'd come alive and stab me if I owed it, though.

Is that Harley Quinn or cross-dressing Joker?

First i've seen of it, but it looks hella blatant.

Why not both?

Oh wow. That is really blatant.

Red diamond tattoo on hip + no Lil' Joker in undies tells me it's Harley.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Grant Morrison is a god.

 

[Serpentine]

Kurtis Wiebe addressed the Rat Queens business. Roc Upchurch is off the book.

He handled that really well.

 

[fauxtrot]

Someone should draw him as an Indian deity with multiple arms, writing like a bunch of stories at once and drawing a few layouts too.

This is both good and bad. I know it had to be done, but shit. That dude's art was ace.

Bleeding Cool has a bit more.

Rat Queens is a creator owned book published by Image Comics, and Roc will still co-own and benefit from the comic and the multi-media spinoffs, but it will now be drawn by a new artist. Tess Fowler had been announced as a fill-in artist for upcoming issue 11, and it seems that she is a favourite to take over the title, but no new artist has been announced.

 

[FinalHeaven]

I'm really sad that I'm having no luck finding Deadly Class #7 anywhere, looks like Imma have to suck it up and read the digital version. I absolutely love the art and colors, probably one of my favorites so far out of all the comics I read. And Remender is great too, I've got a bit more of his stuff incoming.

I'm pretty interested in Kitchen and Deep State as well.
