That's like saying Cyclops should look like a cyclops or Wolverine should look like a wolverine or Sabretooth should have cat ears and paws.

except Squirrel Girl's Gimmick is that she controls squirrels and kinda looks like a squirrel

none of the others have a gimmick that is basically spelled out by their name to that extent....

I don't have a problem with cartoony art or non-house-style art or whatever labels people wanna stick on a particular book. For me, there's simply art I like and art I don't like. And I don't like this.

As others have said, there are good and bad example of all sorts of art, regardless of of how mainstream they may or may not be.

[mugiwara]

what kind of artwork did people expect from a squirrel girl series?! this isn't something that should be drawn by francesco francavilla or even J.H Williams III it's suppose to be a zany upbeat colorful series and the artwork shows that

I would have liked Gurihiru. Because it's possible to do cartoony art without making it look like low quality MLP.

I absolutely agree. I cannot even fathom how this art can be described as terrible or bad. I know the people typing those opinions probably have eyes, but from my perspective, it certainly seems questionable.

The art overall seems cute, but I have to agree that the character's face doesn't seem much like Doreen's, even accounting for style. It's the same issue I've had with Quitely, where while I enjoy his work overall, certain characters just don't look even remotely like themselves.

Looks more like Lena Dunham than Doreen Green.

People are such robots. Anything that isn't the "house style" is considered ugly. No one appreciates style. **sigh**

No, being good means it's good.

And this is good.

I agree with these truths.

I also have to wonder how real comic book artists feel about this stuff passing as publishable material these days.

Who are the real comic book artists?

[Swashbuckler]

I'll pass. I'm not into "cute" comics.

[Iron Maiden]

I just don't think among artists who are in a more cartoon vein in their style that I would not rank this one as very good. Bruce Timm is great and so was the late Mike Wieringo, who I think would have been a very good fit for this title.

This artist hasn't captured her signature look very well from when Ditko created it. I am glad the strange racoon-ish eye markings are gone but her face just looks ...odd. Like a drunk looking Gerber Baby.

[cyberhubbs]

Why did they have to make her look like that? And don't give me that crap about her looking normal. She looks deformed.

Those are called hips. It's not a deformity.

[Kusanagi]

I'm consistently shocked how much hate the art gets. The book billed as a comedic all ages book looking like a bright colorful cartoon?! The very idea! Really hoping this series pulls Ms. Marvel.

[Raye]

I think it looks cute. I'll be getting it.

[Billy Batson]

[vitamin]

Yes, those houses are absolutely disgusting.
