Jeanty did a respectable job given that he never worked with morrison before and had practically no time to do the issue. Though that does usually lead to really bland art and it did in this case sorry to say. I know it's a nitpicky thing, but I just HATED how young he depicted Bruce being. Not the knockoff it should've been though i agree.

If you haven't y'all should read MIlligan's Dark Night, Dark City. Ties into into some of the stuff Morrison's doing with Return of Bruce Wayne in a pretty interesting way.

yeah i mean to be fair, it seemed like a very decent job done with very very little time

[Mandingo]

i meant to say knockout and not knockoff.

[manvstrees]

thing is, with all the time in the world, this would have been some extremely mediocre to bad art cause this was not the guy

Somehow you manage to make everything about Milligan, don't you?

that even if he had plenty of time he wouldn't have produced good art

"The artwork would have looked bad regardless of the time the artist had, because he simply isn't very good in the first place."

Sometimes mvt just needs an editor.

sometimes mvt needs a random girl to not buy him whiskey is what

I'll never get how Jeanty gets such high profile work. His Buffy stuff is godawful, and he draws so inconsistently that distinguishing characters is a chore.

[manvstrees]

i forgot flash on that list
basically a dc week of asskicking

[endor holocaust]

Flash is probably Johns' best book, huh.

[manvstrees]

i dunno, because green lantern was kinda mindblowin this week
random renee montoya scene? yep that's pretty much how you invest me in saint walker and the blue lanterns. done and done.

[Mandingo]

Ah, okay. I guess I agree with that for the most part.

[hey look]

generation lost was awesome too and i ahven't been enjoying that.

Just read Green Arrow #2. What a great book. Congrats to @jtkrul for such fine work.

So this really cements Robinson's incompetence, huh?

[hey look]

I enjoyed Green Arrow #1

[hey look]

speaking of which, are there any really great Green Arrow arcs that are worth buying in trade? I remember at some point people were talking about Longbow Hunters...is that good?

[hey look]

also i have been reading Fantastic Four #570-574, the first hickman arc and jesus 572 is like the best comic i've read, it kept me awake and juiced for like an hour after reading when i was in bed last night

[hey look]

i dont usually agree with many of ifanboy's "panels of the week" but this one was so awesome

[Mandingo]

Steve Dillon is so awesome.

[endor holocaust]

Jason Aaron's the best.

[Mandingo]

Jason Aaron + Steve Dillon are the awesome best.

Longbow Hunters is quite good and totally worth reading. It's of that "Suggested for Mature Readers" comics that were all the rage in the 80's/90's so it's a bit cliched now. I've read a bit of Grell's run after that and it's worth reading from the little bit I've read.

Meltzer's arc of green arrow is solid. I can't remember what's it's called.

can't think of anymore. Winnick's run is solid overall, but I dunno if I'd suggest picking it up.

copiel work on the xmen backup was dang beautiful, while portacio's work has never looked worse
copiel x-men, marvel

I picked up a complete run of Alan Moore's stint of Wild C.A.T.S. today. It's pretty fantastic and makes me think of Morrison's JLA quite a bit while reading it. Next too Promethea it's the closest Moore's come to writing a book that feels more like Morrison. If I have one complaint about the book it's that at times the art isn't up to the standard of the writing. I'm not bashing any of the guys who worked on it during Moore's run, but most of it is pretty run of the mill stuff for the time and not on the level of some of those guys best work.

I'll go ahead and ask how Moore's other Image work was like the Voodoo mini, the Spawn mini and the Wildcats/Spawn crossover. No need to sell me on Moore's Surpreme which, while not in name, was easily the best Superman book of the 90's in my mind.
