DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I'VE SACRIFICED?!

[Frontier]

It's weird that the Lee/Romita characters don't all look exactly like they did when drawn by Romita.

I guess the only difference from their modern depictions is MJ's hair isn't as long (at least when Ottley draws her adult self) and Peter looks a little less like Ultimate Peter then he does in that flashback.

I like that to be honest. It gives a different insight than simply reprinting the originals.

I personally like Ottley's Gwen, it makes the character look more down-to-earth than Romita's take did.

I get that, but it just seems to put things temporally out-of-sorts in my opinion.

It just looks weird to me. Especially with that hair.

With this in store, they're most likely going to reveal who Kindred is. I'm placing my bets. There's so much buildup now, and Spencer is doing a masterful job of telling his own story within the larger Absolute Carnage story.

It's trying to put a contemporary spin to that era which is fair since comic-book-time means the Romita era now happened in the 2000s late-2000s at the earliest, early-to-mid-2010s at the latest.

It sticks out because artists have generally not done that. Since Spider-Man Blue the idea has been to style the L-R era in some '60s chiffon style even if that becomes anachronistic. Fraction's To Have and to Hold also followed that lead in MJ's flashbacks to the '60s and '70s (that famous kiss at the airport...yeah that probably happened outside it in current continuity rather than inside owing to Post 9/11 protocols which forbid friends of passengers from entering nside).

Well for once Gwen doesn't look like Blonde MJ which is how Romita Sr. styled her in that period.

Wonder if the goblin is happy he is being suborned by Cletus's persona. it will be interesting to have a peek in what's going on in Osborne's demented mind but Spencer doesn't seem to be interested in exploring the inner psyche of pseudo Carnage like Ewing did with the immortal hulk.

I feel like that's always been how the Sliding Timescale has worked. Just look at how the O5 X-Men got handled when they were brought to the past.

She never really came off that way to me.

I don't think it's entirely productive to complain about that aspect. Artists' rendering of this era is wildly different from artist to artist. Ottley chose a different path than others. So I don't see the point in worrying/wondering why they look so different compared to their original looks.

It's just something I felt like commenting on since it stood out to me .

Cornrows, I think? That's what I've seen people call it.

I guess but it seems like a waste.
