For me, the worst instance of this was when they got Mike Mignola (Hellboy creator) to do the cover for a witcher graphic novel. I opened it up expecting a witcher story in that awesome style, but the interior just looked like every other bland, forgettable, comic book out there.
There’s a difference between “they’re still on the boat because the author has health issues,” and “we’ve been on the boat for 400 chapters.”
According to Google the Boat arc was around 60 chapters, the Golden Age arc was 90 chapters. The latter being the basis of the entire plot, while the former being the group traveling from point A to B.
And most of them aren't written by creepy self loathing insecure men!
"Look at stuff that is 30 to 40 yo."
Fair enough. There have been more good female characters in comics if you are willing to look outside the Big 2. I liked Switch - Electricia. I think we owe to give other companies their due.
Well, often the main difference is that they are attractive, but still hold the same writing issues but people care less because awooga
I forgot they ghettofied Thor. Thanks for reminding me.
Jim Davis has explicitly stated that 9 Lives of Garfield was the peak creatively for the franchise as it was the last time he self admitted to truly givee a shit about trying to make something special before turning the franchise into a soulless cash cow.
Fun fact; that is also why Mignola refuses to work for Marvel to this very day. He got roped into drawing a fill in/flashback issue of X-Force when Liefeld couldn't keep his deadline and drew a cover for it. But but Bob Harras hated Mignola's artwork and the fact that Rob explicitly picked him to draw it and forced Rob to rush out a cover for the issue since he was afraid of the backlash.
For some reason, action is hard to follow in manga. It is not just that lack of color: Calvin and Hobbes is able to convey action clearly with just black or white (no grey).
