DC was a much bigger publisher than people tend to acknowledge in threads like this one: war comics, romance comics, horror and mystery, Western, Vertigo, modern WildStorm, etc. So, naturally, there...

Thanks!

Too many favorite artists to mention here, and I don't want to limit myself anyway to top 5 or 10 or whatever. But out of all the collaborators of Grant Morrison, I think these days I like...

What series or comic is this from? The Night Force? Colan was a master of the macabre...

Anyway, today is Garcia Lopez' birthday, and there is no artist I associate with DC more than him....

That's true.

And the Death of Superman in the early 90s.

I would like to say two things here. Firstly, it should be noted that Simonson's art - or more precisely, his layouts - is/are more restrained in The...

From another thread (but the answer would be somewhat off topic there):




Kirby's intention (= what he said in interviews or to his friends and colleagues) isn't more important than his...

I agree with Tegan O'Neil 90% of the time, but that notion that Thanos is more interesting or richer character or metaphor than Darkseid sits very firmly in those other 10%. Anyway, her opinions are...

This is not an easy question to answer. I have a feeling that it regularly pops up on this board once a year or so. You can always search for the words 'Fourth World' or 'New Gods' and find a wider...

I don't think it was a good comic, but it had its shining moments. For example, the separation of 'good' and 'bad' guys, with Magneto seemingly on the side of the good. And the message that the...

Done. I can't contribute much, because I haven't read the comic. But I understand your frustration. Aaron's Marvel work is a mixed bag for me; I don't dislike his writing as much as many of you guys...

Yes, I think he did bring that idea to the Thor comics, but I am not completely sure now if Alan Zelenetz mentioned it somewhere around the same time or earlier. He wrote some non-canonical Thor...

True. The fact that Hawkeye and Black Widow fight alongside the other Avengers (in the movies and the comics equally) doesn't make sense at all, regardless of the writer. It's funny to me that people...

No, X-Men/New Teen Titans is the best crossover of Marvel and DC, even more easily, although JLA/Avengers may very well come second. There was no real fight between the teams (though some members...

Do not tease me about the New Gods, man! :) I don't want to change this topic into a discussion about them! This is still the Marvel sub-forum.

Yes, Kirby's writing was often overly verbose,...

Ah, The Jack Kirby Collector, one of the best sources for all things Kirby. I have several issues, and many of their other magazines, but not that one, and now I am eager to read that interview.

...

Doctor Strange (comic, not the character) has almost nothing from Stan Lee in itself. It was pure Ditko in style and substance. It's obvious to anyone who has read his non-Marvel works. I even don't...

I don't know whether it's the worst or not, but I call him (Thor) Aqua-Hemsworth(y). It's completely understandable to me that he loves to drink - I would probably be the same, if forced into a...

Almost all of his work for DC. At Marvel it's somewhat different, because he had his own corner there, which he practically invented. I am not saying there is no quality in his work at all - some of...

When I read something like "the lack of respect for continuity and his inability to resist sniping at religion in general bring the whole thing down" the first person I think of is Jim Starlin, who...

I don't know whether something was ripped off or not, because human mind works in a similar fashion and synchronicity is possible (when two or more individuals or groups come to the same solution or...

Tamra Bonvillain did the coloring.

Yeah, that's what I actually meant, but probably haven't expressed clearly. 'Popularity' as something completely divorced from the skill and craft of the end product. The comics industry was always...

Was 90s art bad? First we must define what you've meant by '90s art'. And, before that, we have to define what you mean by 'art'. Otherwise, this question cannot be answered.

Generally, and on the...

That is true. What's with all these posters who talk about Stan Lee's Spider-Man stories? Steve Ditko plotted them, usually. It's even acknowledged in the credits of the later issues. Not plotted "by...

Oh, my bad. I thought the publishers wanted him because his name was selling comics. Silly me.



I don't attack people on forums (or in real life). Only their opinions, eventually. (And this...
