Except that this is NOT the Umbrella Academy [....] Not in the X-World. Nope.
Hey my man, like I said, we all like what we like, you don't have to have a reason. Ya know, to each their own and all that
and its not like I am clambering to to stand in line for a sketch from the guy
I don't like his look that much either, but 'I'm just saying it wasn't the worse art out there. This is a young guy that has a punk style and sure it isn't for everyone, but it wasn't as bad as say Rob Liefeld ... who even after all this time won't practice to get better
And besides, style is a great thing. How many times have we as a comic community said we "didn't like the look or style of the art at first but then ..."?
But seriously man, I'm not trying to "break your balls ova heya"
art is art, we don't all like the same. I am more than comfortable being the sole HR guy that can look at this guys stuff and not puke
Oeming's art is probably great on a different book with different characters, but not X-Force.
I do want to clarify one thing however, the guy that was on X-Force was Dylan Burnett. Michael Oeming was the other guy you hated, from the Young Justice Warlord image
A fine artist there. That one. And even though you don't like him either
, I will go to the mat for him because ... well ... I was the same way for a time
until I got through the first 3 or 4 issues of Powers and then I found the appreciation.
But yeah man, hate whose art you hate.
I get it. I am sure I will be there on the other-side of the art opinions here soon. You will be saying "its better than Liefeld"
and I will ... no, lets not go there yet. We'll cross that road when we get to it
Oh, and lastly (and Jimmy and I just spoke on this yesterday) ... regardless of our level of dislike for Burnett's style, I think we can all agree that Mike Del Mundo's style should never again grace the pages of Thor
I told Jimmy that I liked his stuff on the title Weirdworld because it fit. Somehow or for some reason it worked. But it made Thor look pretty damn murky to me
EDIT -
DANG IT!!!
Forget to include the other comments you made that I wanted to reply to
Wolverine #1 - I really liked this book. And with two stories you got twice the Wolverine and twice the goodness!
Haha, Glad you have your favorite (yeah?) character back!!!
The second story with Omega Red was the most memorable. That will likely grow into something very interesting.
I agree and the only reason I have it my "maybe" keep up with it column
Cable #1 - So first half of the book I was hating. Did not like at all. Thankfully all that just led to the main point of this arc which clearly leads to the Sword of X crossover. Loved that it dealt with
At that point I was sold on reading this for awhile. Then they sealed the deal with the last page!!! OH YEAH!! I'm in for this one!!
Yeppers. That reveal, well, both reveals, was pretty cool. Still dropping it, well, adding it to MU I mean, but it almost had me
X-Men/Fantastic Four #1 - Good start. Man it's really looking like the X-Men are the bad guys now.
Something is there, buddy. Something!!!!
Excalibur #9 - I wonder if this is a big hit with previous Excalibur fans. I never read them ...
Same and maybe that is why it isn't doing it for me as well. I know OF them, mostly anyway, but not "getting" it. That "feel"
So why am I ambivalent towards this title?
I think for the same reason you said at first
Batman #91 - I'm done. This is just really boring. And the next arc is yet ANOTHER war with the Joker. I'm out.
And with dropping this I'm now officially not reading any current DC Comics.
Gotta love it when Joker shows up in Batman!!! Oh what's that? He is in like every conflict we have now with Batman? Yeah he is isn't he
I feel like Jane from the Brady Bunch!!!
Joker
Joker
Joker
BAH!!
Maybe I'll try out that Suicide Squad Perry is raving about...
There ya go!!! But then again, being big two free isn't a bad thing either.
But if you do decide to try, you should enjoy it and it should hook you at issue #1, but if it doesn't hook ya by issue #2 ... well then try #3
Just kidding.
I was really impressed with the first issue (that I was told to read
that bastard) but it had some new characters in it so I was still leery, a tad but when I hit that second issue, BAM I was hooked hard. And by the third?!?!?! Oh yeah
Again, if you ever read any Secret Six you should like this ... probably
Family Tree #4 - Nice action issue. This isn't one of the best Jeff Lemire tale...yet. It's getting better with each issue. After this one I'm really looking forward to see what happens in the next issue.
I do like me some Jeff Lemire, and this is a well written title, but I ahve just not been able to get the good vibe when reading it. That "feel" is not hitting me yet. Going to give issue #5 a shot, the last issue in this arc, but after that ... I don't know man ...
EDIT 2
Yep , forgot my reads this time
Avengers of the Wasteland #2
Avengers of the Wasteland #3 - A really fun story set in the Old Man Logan Universe. A must add for MU guys!!
Savage Avengers #9
Savage Avengers #10 - I wish this was on MU. I like it, but I don't want to say it is worth the price. But... Conan. And its good Conan! I don't know. May rethink it. But keep your eyes open for me if it does hit MU?
Please
Batman #91 - Funny that I found this a little better than the last couple, but like Jeff I think I am done.Like King or not, at least he brought something to Bats. This is stuff that has been done so many times before that I just don't need it, I don't think. Sad, as I do like Tynion.
Rai #4 - After opening #5, I had to go back and read/look at the ending of this to refresh my brain
Rai #5 - After refreshing my brain with #4 and opening this back up
I found this to be a decent ending to this particular story. Not the END end, but end of that segment
Man do I love Ryp's art!!!
You a fan of the art, Jeff? Just curious
