Thanks for a fun show, I hope no one was playing a drinking game centred on the word ‘hot’
ReplyDeleteCall me a ‘hung up on details’ guy but when you’re replacing one of the most perfect looks in comicdom it had better be good - fatter straps and clunkier jet pack do not cut it... how many times has Dr Doom’s outfit been ‘updated’ only to revert to Kirby’s original a couple of years later? Take the final page of the series, that stupid white harness... it looks like Adam is being eaten by a urinal. And Alanna’s bigger-than-her-head boobs are ridiculous, for example in the panel after she’s shot the bad lady - she’d need jet packs to walk two feet.
And the murkiness of the thing, Dave McCaig’s colour choices make it look like we’re viewing everything through a sandstorm.
I really like Rob Leigh’s display lettering.
The ‘maguffin’ line is clever, but makes it so obvious that this is just a wheel-spinning exercise, an over-extended placeholder.
I agree entirely with Shagg about the annoying nature of P Ferry’s signature being on story pages, It really throws you out of the story. It shouldn’t be allowed by Editorial... sign the ruddy pages when you get them pack/print them out! A recent artist on Aquaman, Stjepan Sejic, did the same thing about every three pages, it was infuriating.
Happy JLMay!
Full agreement on Zoom. And also, full agreement on Shag being a big old troublemaker!
