aszumilo Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Unfortunately, most of the new Marvel books look horrible. Take a look at the new Iron Man. nepatkm, James J Johnson and tv horror 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby would be throwing up blood. That artwork is a total disaster.

Ken Aldred Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) I’ve seen much worse in modern Marvel comics. From a contemporary perspective, the art isn’t that bad. I’ve clearly become a little bit desensitised by exposure. As an FF fan, I wouldn’t buy it though, as the team has had much better artists, such as Kirby, Perez, Byrne, (Arthur) Adams, Wieringo, Davis and Hitch.

Chiefs1313 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I’m amazed at the art in most marvel books, either it’s drawn really poorly and/or drawn like anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicquant Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 In addition to the teen titans go art the storyline is subpar. I feel like they rushed it and let seniority cloud their judgement. I know Dan Slott has written some great stories but he wasn't a good choice for the return of FF1. Someone new with a different rhythm. Even if they had to throw copious amounts of money at someone, they should've done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury Man Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Not a fan of the art, but fan of the family. I will be on board until John Romita Jr. takes over. Remember the Heroes Reborn reboot when they had Jim Lee drawing? That was how you re-introduce your Flagship title back to the public! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in, for a while. I'm more interested in where they take things story-wise. Time-travel/alt universe garbage will have me gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a lot of that in the Hickman and Fraction runs. I like those, but something different would be good.

01TheDude Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 does the artwork style or look have anything to do with how they produce the art-- specifically the tools used? While I have seen some amazing stuff produced by our own board members using those tools-- I wonder if using them versus paper and pencils has anything to do with it. This stuff seems to lack any texture that I was used to with the bronze age silver comics I grew up with. I'm guessing the answer is no-- the tools are not the problem. The artists or direction they are given is to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
