    Or maybe it's a prosthetic leg? He doesn't have one of those, does he?
    Literally cut off his own leg to try and imitate Hellion, but with his own spin. Julian's impact.

    I need to hear more about G.O.D.S. So far I’m kind of mildly intrigued. Mainly just because it’s Hickman.

    I've been following Land since his stint on UXM in 2009, and it's kind of insane how little he's actually evolved since then.

    He traces so much that he doesn’t actually practice LOL.
    To me it’s insane how he keeps getting work even after he’s traced artwork from other Marvel artists.
    Tom Brevoort must really like the man.

    He did progress before then, or rather regressed. In the 90s he was actually a halfway decent artist before he started tracing everything.

    This was what Greg Land's art looked like in 1997. When colored in it looked much more cartoonish and stylized than his usual Marvel work.

    I remember similar work of his from that period being being posted being posted here over the years, I just don't understand why he regressed so much. Even between Pheonix Endsong (imo his best work), to UXM in 2009, he became a lot worse.

    I remember someone from Marvel mentioning he was very quick with his work!

    Land's art is awful
    Too bad, it's a variant I though we had another POC on the team.
    I'm not sur I like Mia's design. Schiti is generally pretty good so I'll have to wait to see his version.

    How does Land still get regular cover work?? He's actually still continually getting worse!

    Those faces all look like plastic-jobs, there’s a disconnect between the nose and the rest of the face, it feels like the characters are watching me trough some sort of mask, it’s creepy

    I still enjoy Greg Land's art to this day although I can understand why he's often criticised. However mid-90s to early naughties Greg Land was a fabulous artist. Before he became enamored with Photoshop he used to crank out excellent pages on Birds of Prey and Nightwing over at DC, reaching full maturity on Crossgen's Sojourn. Then he moved over to Marvel and all the "photorealistic" tendencies he had began to experiment with on Sojourn became the main course with Phoenix: Endsong.

    Ah, Silver Banshee! I can't help but love Irish characters, being Irish myself.

    *sigh* Still no hint that the rumor of a revived, Avengers' era Beast being in the Uncanny Avengers is true. I've seen nothing about Beast in the X-Books later this year except that he's exiting X-Force this July.
    placeholder signature until I can think of something.
