Molly Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 David Aja and Chris Samnee tied for an Eisner last night, which is the sort of thing that only happens in comics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I just caught up with Hawkeye yesterday and I can totally see why they had trouble picking between the two. If this is the direction of a lot of comic art away from overmuscled maniacs and towards Michael Larkesque shading and simplicity then I'm all for it. If I had to pick the best drawn books right now these would be right up there. Although I really do love Pichelli on Ultimate Spider-man.

Koete Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 “Batman did pretty well, so I sat down with the head of DC Comics. I really wanted to do Kamandi [The Last Boy on Earth], this Jack Kirby character. I had this great pitch … and he said, ‘You think this is gonna be for kids? Stop, stop. We don’t publish comics for kids. We publish comics for 45-year-olds. If you want to do comics for kids, you can do Scooby-Doo. And I thought, ‘I guess we just broke up.’” – Paul Pope, relating his attempt to pitch an all-ages (or perhaps young-adult) title to DC Comics, during his Comic-Con International conversation with Gene Luen Yang.

Dread Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 DC should be courting quality talent like Pope carefully, not turning them down when they pitch something as awesome as AN ALL AGES FUCKING KAMANDI FUCKING BOOK MOTHERFUCKKKKKKEKERRKRKRKRKRKRKKRKRKRRKKRKRKRKRKRRKKRKR!

KnightWing Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I wonder when that happened. Pope doesn't clarify if it was years ago or last month. Regardless, if that story is true, whoever it was (seems like it must have been Didio) that rejected that idea is a world-class moron that needs to be fired.

Dan Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 "Head of DC Comics" implies DiDio pretty strongly. And that does kind of sound like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 A rundown of the Image founders' personalities on Twitter: Todd McFarlane - "Hey, this is Todd's social media guy: buy things!" Jim Lee - "Hey, this is Jim. Buy DC!" Whilce Portacio - "Hey, I'm just a guy." Marc Silvestri - "Hey, I'm also just a guy, but I have the hottest wife in comics." Jim Valentino - "I still work at Image, you know. To prove it, I don't have a Twitter account. But Shadowline does. Buy Shadowline!" Rob Liefeld - "I'm still relevant! Love me! I created Deadpool! Basketball!" Erik Larsen - "Fuck John Byrne!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 It's pretty much a tie. Two-In-One has the advantage(?) in the writing department, as it's not completely psychotic, but Brave and the Bold has the Jim Aparo art. It's the greatest crossover that never was.

Dan Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Someone, anyone, PLEASE explain to me why Klaus Janson continues to get paid to ink comics. His ability to ruin pencils is second to none, and every time he picks up a brush, a puppy dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Because he and Frank Miller made a terribly overrated comic in the 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 From a storytelling standpoint, Year One does have it's share of issues. While the young Bruce making mistakes is refreshing, the way his internal dialouges are laid out is beyond cliche. The Gordon arc is great... ...aside from the entirely pointless affair with Sarah Essen. Selina Kyle is a prostitute because Frank Miller has some serious issues with his mother. The ending has some nice moments and Mazzucchelli's art is perfect, but Year One is more fondly remembered than it ought to be. I still like Year One, which is a damn sight more than I can say for TDKR, that fucking abortion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I think Year One should be required reading for anyone telling a new Batman origin story, but it doesn't really deserve to be made the standard. Especially since it's 90% a Gordon story anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
