When I opened the Age of Apocalypse omnibus I got fucking whiplash.
Different artists have different amounts of honor. Sana Takeda has a lot, Roc Upchurch has none!

His posing is one of the worst I've seen. Everyone stands like this:
Everyone walks like this:
Everyone who is angry those this weird hand clench thing. I swear, he spent an hour doing poses for references 20 years ago and has never updated his reference material. The rest is good but his posing is just sooooo bad.
Okay, you took what Einchy said and then went too far in the other direction...
w/e brubaker + phillips do, every single year, is a top 10 comic. every single year. and that's something even folk who dislike crime drama should grudgingly admit.
sou da lives like around the corner from me and he wont even meet me
I thought Fatale was the last book they did that was really noteworthy. They took their usual shtick and added a paranormal element to it. Every other thing they've done together doesn't really stray far from that formula. They've essentially Bendis'd themselves within their own genre.
I wouldn't describe anything that way, though. I don't think any comic is beyond personal taste.
oh he does. But I think he's very much like, say, an Alex Maleev, who has an art style that only suits a specific type of comic. He's not a very diverse artist.
Don't get me wrong, I think Sean Phillips is able to draw well but his posing really drags it down. I went most of Criminal without noticing it, but once I did, I couldn't unsee it. Now all i see when I look at his art is Sean Phillips doing really weird poses in his house while someone takes pictures of him. I wish he had a friend who knew how people moved so his art wouldn't be so dang stiff.
Want you to know that these posts sent me into about 2 hours of reading, backwards reading, rereading and analyzing this comic for the first time since it came out
genuinely insulting comparison rofl bendis hasn't written anything great in a very long time. struggles to write anything good, most of the time.
ah, i guess that's just a difference in approach between us, then. like, for example, how giant bomb does their end of year lists and how people can say "i haven't played this game b ecause it's not a genre i enjoy, but i know jeff cares deeply about this genre and if he says it's a big deal then i can respect that" and have their game cut first sort of thing.

We're two weeks into lockdown and these are the takes. I fear for us. We will not make it through this at this pace.
I am once again reminded of how much Sean Phillips' art annoys me.
I meant the Bendis comparison in the sense that he's a completely formulaic writer.
Obligatory:
yeah i still think that's an awful generalization. writing within a genre is not formulaic writing. all of brubaker's crime work is incredibly creative and emotionally wrought. but it's not trying to break the genre.I meant the Bendis comparison in the sense that he's a completely formulaic writer.
Obligatory:
i like bendis, too. he's a good person and does a lot of good things for other creatives.
I just like his writing. He's not great at endings, so his runs rarely arrive at any kind of destination, but I usually like the ride.
I like most of his DC comics, but there's always a really clunky bit of dialogue in there which makes me think the DC editors are too intimidated to correct him.

My Daredevil by Bendis omnibus 1 orders got cancelled by both shops I ordered it from :(
I'm guessing I just straight up missed out and they won't be printing more?
I got part 2 sitting here.. and I've just recently finished the Frank Miller omnibuses (they're great!!)

ooo here's the finalized cover for uncanny x-men omnibus vol.4
I'll be getting the direct market version, it's great. I generally like Silva but hate everything that cover, phew.

hell yea DC! Where you at Marvel!
I'm reading Brubaker's DD and Cap run at the same time lol. Alternating between the two when I get tired of one or the other. His Cap run is some of the best comics I've read, and it still delivers on like my 3rd read through.
That's missing 'gen:LOCK #6' 'Metal Men #6' and all collections.
Ya'll have some crazy takes (Quitely is awesome) but Sean Phillips being bad has to be one of the worst.
I finished Downfall last night and it definitely made me feel something. The protagonist (him I guess) was a total creep asshole but it was still amazing. I also ordered FF7 remake from Best Buy afterwards because I gave up hope on Amazon restocking before release.
I normally love Silva but hot damn that's an ugly cover. It's pretty dumb to be so against older art that this is acceptable.ooo here's the finalized cover for uncanny x-men omnibus vol.4
