Venneh Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 So yeah, it took me an hour to read through it, but the end result is that I back Rozum even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Nearly every memory I have of my youth is somehow connected to comics or art. I inherited my love of comics from my Mom. At flea markets she would buy me brown grocery bags FULL of comics with missing or sliced covers. Remember those? Retail stores only had to return the cover, or even only the top half of the cover containing the title, in order to get their refund on unsold books. And I had classics! I even had Iron Man #1... mostly! Pages yellowed and wilted from humidity and smelling of garage or attic dust, with mangled or missing covers... they were AWESOME! If he'd just stopped going about himself there, I would have probably gone into reading his version of events from his perspective. But, it just felt like everything he said after that, was him justifying to himself why he should be allowed to make a living from the comic book industry. Edit: I couldn't read it. Not only is the text hard to read on that plain black background, but him PUTTING random WORDS in CAPS, just hurt my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 By no means am I saying Scott's story ideas and opinions should have gone ignored, and he's certainly a storyteller. However, when you've literally only written five comic books (at the time, and all of them had established co-writers) you do not quote a writing manual to a man who has written nearly 200 comic books. Doing so makes you an utter asshole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 If that`s George Perez, which I`m kind of refusing to believe at this moment, then it is likely the worst piece of art he has ever had published. Looks like something off of a mediocre DeviantArt page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Perez hasn't been doing great stuff lately. His Superman covers have been equally bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 The cover to World's Finest #1: That's, alright, nothing more. it won't get me to buy the comic on the strength of that cover, and I think a lot of casual readers will feel the same. It doesn't really jump off the page, it's by no means bad, just not very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 That's, alright, nothing more. it won't get me to buy the comic on the strength of that cover, and I think a lot of casual readers will feel the same. It doesn't really jump off the page, it's by no means bad, just not very good. It's not that it's outright BAD, but it's nowhere NEAR Perez' standard. To say that he's capable of better is a severe understatement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 In the way it's inked (or maybe colored) it seems to have hints of Amanda Conner. Like Perez laid it out, and she finished it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Ditto on the boobie hole, but not just for cheesecake reasons. I really liked the ongoing Power Girl book, it had a strong cast, good writing etc. If that Power Girl had one day said "Hey, I'm going to change my outfit" I'd have said fine. I like the character, she'd probably have good reasons for making the switch after such a long time, I'd be fine with it. By changing the look post-reboot I've lost the connection I had with Power Girl previously. Some characters have maintained a continuity like Hal Jordan or Batman, some like Superman have not. Iconic characters can survive that kind of reboot. Take away the most distinct aspect of PG (her look) and it implies a complete reboot. Hence any redeeming interest I'd built is lost. All of which might be as reasonable an explaination as "it represents a hole in my heart because I don't know who I am" but hey, it's my opinion.

Molly Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Because Jim Lee thinks it's "realistic" and "alien," despite the fact that we're looking at a 240 pound man from space that can chuck a mountain into the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Ditto. The armor makes sense. The skirt makes sense since many Greek and Roman armored had one. With Pants-gate, I wonder why no one thought to go back to the skirt. One thing I've noticed from some of the stuff we've seen on Earth-2, it kinda sounds Justice Lords-y.

KnightWing Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 It looks amazing in that sketch. In color, it's a little less impressive. If it were a little less harshly angular and gold instead of silver, it'd be perfect. But then this does seem like a more violent League, so maybe that's the idea.

SuaveStar Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Batman's, I don't like right now, but I think it's a grower. Wonder Woman, looks like she'd kick your ass. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
