It really does make all the difference. Shit it's what honestly most of the time separates the all-time classic epics like the Dark Phoenix Saga, Kirby's FF Run, Jim Lee's X-Men run, etc, from badly drawn contenders like James Hudnell's Alpha Flight run, or basically any other run that could've been could but the horrible art killed that shit dead.<br />I'm a bit, a bit, more forgiving than I used to be, but art-wise, I'm still like if it doesn't appeal to me, than I pass.Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954474436358879146.post-75930407694843169082016-02-11T01:43:49.777-05:002016-02-11T01:43:49.777-05:00Yeah, see- EVERYONE has a part of this!
Man, comi...Yeah, see- EVERYONE has a part of this! <br />Man, comics used to be so fun!!!<br /><br />I can't stand even a good story if the art sucks... and art is subjective, so it's hard... but comics are a visual medium- so if the art does not speak to me- then no matter how good the story is- it never will either either. So I don't think young-you is dumb at all... I find Darick Robertson's art perfectly serviceable, though. I mean, sure- he's no Bagley, but we take what we can get.<br /><br />I was just now catching up on AXIS from a few years ago, and there is some stuff in it with Spider-Man and the newest Nova- Sam Alexander. And, yeah, he seems sooo old by comparison in it. Showed the kid a lot more respect than he did Darkhawk, though... Even mentioned Richard Rider and how awesome he was...<br /><br />Peter Parker is just a fuddy-duddy though... he'll never shake being made in the 60's... <br /><br />Yeah- that was a bold move ripping on yourself right at the height of your popularity like that- that back-up story was a lot of fun!The King of Thessalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406771819941242204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954474436358879146.post-85741211556321529062016-02-11T01:32:19.760-05:002016-02-11T01:32:19.760-05:00I dunno- I thought that bucket-head character coul...I dunno- I thought that bucket-head character could be an analogy, but maybe it was Shatterstar? Regardless- it was still a fun back-up; poking fun at X-Force so much in the height of their popularity.The King of Thessalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406771819941242204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954474436358879146.post-11882832410301705302016-02-09T14:16:48.961-05:002016-02-09T14:16:48.961-05:00a couple years ago i found that New Warriors annua...a couple years ago i found that New Warriors annual in a discount back issue section. i got it with the hopes of finding a ROM Easter egg somewhere in that back up story about Micky and Danny at that con but sadly there were none :(Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954474436358879146.post-72519972915443520902016-02-09T12:19:55.502-05:002016-02-09T12:19:55.502-05:00I have actually still have the first part to this ...I have actually still have the first part to this myself here at home. Nice to see how it ends, since I never followed up on it after the initial issue. I was in that phase where if the art looks good you get it, and if the story is pretty decent, then that's a bonus. Dumb, but that was method back then. Thank god I grew out of that...<br />It's funny how writers and editors hate to see Spider-Man appear old, but that's exactly what happens when you pair him teens/young 20-year olds; He's automatically the old man Spider(man). So yeah moreso than marriage or kids(but that too) nothing will age you more in the eyes of fans than that.<br /><br />Nice dig by Nicieza on himself. I'd be surprised if it was by anyone else considering how still wildly popular the whole X-Franchise was back then, especially with the Fox X-Men cartoon right around the corner.Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.com
