I made a 15 book order from amazon back in July, and it has been stuck in customs at least since mid-September. I'm getting worried.

Declan handles violence brilliantly. Moon Knight 4 is the most brutal comic i've ever seen. Dude just has this ruthless fluidity and character to his art, and it doesn't hurt that Jordie Bellaire colors most of his stuff.Declan does have some pieces that stand out to me, like this one:
But that Star Lord is really questionable.
c'mon they don't even look alike
Is that Ryan Seacrest?
Moon Knight 4 was glorious, and that's why the dude is on my radar. You are right about Bellaire though, he does enhance the foundation that is laid out by Declan.
Edit: Speaking of Jordie, her work on American Vampire was amazing.

Thanks for the Cooke recommendations guys! Def gonna check out Catwoman, cus I love me some Brubaker (I got into comics with civil war, and his captain america run was one of the few that I would read every time it came out). I've heard of The Hunter before, probably check that out as well. And yeah I loved that issue of X-Force, didn't realize he drew that issue. Hell while we are on the subject of awesome artists from X-Statix, what else can I read that has some awesome Allred art?

All this talk got me reading Moon Knight again (second time in one week). This panel is so brilliant.
If you love Brubaker you are going to love his Catwoman. It is absolutely the best Catwoman story I've read. They just finished releasing 3 big trades of the entire run so it should be easy to find.
Madman and Red Rocket 7 and Solo #7 for his own stuff
FF and Silver Surfer and I guess iZombie if you want to see him draw scripts
Also Wolverine and the X-Men #17 is pretty amusing, if not an actual replacement for X-Statix.

For me it's #5, Sleep. This is Marc Spector not giving a fuck:

I'm loving Silver Surfer so much because of Allred, I was a little skeptical of the Dawn character at first but it is working out so incredibly well with the story.
Edit:
Edit:
Any idea when that trade is out? Wasn't a fan of the first issue but most here seem to enjoy it ,so I would give the trade a go.
Speaking of Marvel trades I see the first new volume of Amazing Spider-Man came out this week. Isn't it odd that they went straight to paperback? You would think Marvel would milk people and put out a hardcover then paperback. I wonder why they didn't.

Oh God you guys haven't even seen his WATXM pages yet have you holy crap guys I cant
I'm really excited to read my Moon Knight trade. I think The Auteur and Manhattan Projects have priority, but maybe I'll squeeze it in somewhere.
Oh my goodness. What's that from? That's amazing.

Goin' to the shop tomorrow. Am I just looking for the newest issue? I haven't kept up with WaTXM because almost nobody said it was decent around here. But Wimberly is worth it.
If I bought single issues, I'd be all over that WATXM issue.
I hate to pull a GAMEPROFF here, but... anyone got a digital code for that?

Solo #7, it was a bunch of different stories. This is from the one with Hourman, lot of Watchmen jokes, like the 9 panel grid here he's trapped in here.

Man, I really need to pick up Solo.

Also, that Hellboy: First 20 Years hardcover has gotten me too hyped. I've already got my post-Halloween avatar ready to go:
...I already want to switch to it.
Posting this so that Messi can prepare so that he'll know it's me when I do switch.

Yeah. It's first Death of Wolverine issue.
It's generally a Sunstone one though to be fair. But yes that is true. You won't lose me though just look at every 3rd post.

You should change your name, not tell anyone, and see how quickly people adjust based on your posting frequency.
I wouldn't even care. I'd still use it.
If I'm honest, I'd just enjoy seeing that Mignola-drawn Hellboy twice as much.

God, now I have to go re-read Moon Knight 1-6.
Fucking Bryan Wood.
Declan's art is really beautiful. You guys are right about its brutality and fluidity. It's the same thing with his work on Deadpool.
That already happened. He was pock3tmonster, but then he realized that he wouldn't be the top poster by as significant of a margin if he posted with two accounts.
But seriously, what happened with pock3tmonster? He/she was posting even more than Messi for the first week of this thread, then just dropped off the grid.

It takes a lot of effort to post as much as Messi does. I'd probably burn out too.

Asides from Capullo and the Batwoman folks, who are the best/distinctive artists over at DC? I'd feel hardpressed to mention unique visual styles at DC whereas with Marvel seems to give each book a weird, specific visual identity that I love.
No Brian Wood's fault Ellis didnt want to commit to more stories.

NotTheGuyYouKill

I know. I just like blaming Brian Wood cause I miss Ellis
I don't like the two issues he's done so far very much. Mostly cause it steers away from the weird nasty crime that Ellis' Spector deals with and is about, I dunno, conspiracies or something.
The second issue that Wood did is okay though. It doesn't have much on "weird crime" but it's structurally interesting. But it seems like he's decided to ditch the one-shot structure that Ellis set up.
Edit: He also seems like a douchenozzle based on internet stories.
What are they on?

I don't think his work has a whole lot to do with why people dislike him. Most of the things he's written are pretty mediocre, but there are a few gems.

Wonder Woman and Teen Titans. Chiang is done with WW after the next issue IIRC

Demo and Local are top-tier, fantastic comics. As far as internet rumors, I don't care.

Pat Gleason. Dude is a top talent at DC, and brings his best shit to Batman & Robin monthly.

Ellis' Moon Knight is the only one I've, read so with Wood writing it, it feels like it's a pale imitation, and not a genuinely outstanding work.
Like, Ellis created a template, and Wood is following a template, but there's not a spark there. I can't see Wood writing a line like "You have been breathing in his dreams" and having it be as effective as how Ellis pulled it off.
Do you know what I mean? I mean, maybe Wood can still surprise me, but his two issues to date haven't done that, whereas Ellis' first issue immediately grabbed me.

Yeah, those two books would be my picks as well. I love Local. But a lot of his recent stuff has been meh-tastic.

DMZ couldn't even hold my attention and that's a series of his that seems to be generally well received. But I have such a love of Demo and (like you) especially Local that I will always sing that dude's praises if he never writes another good comic book for the rest of his career.
