I'm re reading my Essential Tomb of Dracula vols. I own all the floppies but to me, Gene Colons art just pops in b&w.

I've found the story very disposable and try hard (like basically everything Snyder does) but I've read the whole omnibus and didn't want to set it on fire.
I actually really like the art style but I don't think it's very good for horror. Too much super hero comic type posing, which I guess is good for communicating information effectively when you are telling an action story (although I have increasingly less and less patience for that).
The one chapter Sean Murphy does is the best (but that story has one of the most awful plot devices in the form of a character who gets introduced and disposed of within a page and a half).
I'm currently re reading Ultimate Spider-man after absolute ages and it's weird how it can be super trite and decompressed but disjointed at the same time. Takes 6 issues to tell the origin but it jumps between scenes seemingly random.
Also while I find Bagley a super competent artist his style just makes the books ridiculous and dated.
Finished Ennis' Punisher Max run yesterday and really liked it.
Now on to the Witcher Library Edition for a change of scenery
I just finished Tom Scioli's Fantastic Four Grand Design. This book and the book by the X-Men move a million miles an hour, it helps if you have read chunks of the comic history, but these books stand on their own. I didn't think the FF book or this series would work twice but I was out of breath by the last panel. I just need to read the Ed Piskor re-colored version of "This Man, This Monster". I think I am going to re-read the X-Men one too.
Hi all!
Just finished the Jason Aaron Star Wars Omnibus (which i loved!) and wanted to know what people opinions are on the other main books in the line? I read Darth Vader and enjoyed, but not loved it. Are the Leia, Dameron and Kanan books any good?
I haven't read this for a while and now for the first time in this big format. I love the art this big. Big Damn Sin City! And it is big. Damn!
Just started my Hellboy LE editions, did read them as they came out, apart from Hellboy in hell which is still in its cellophane, I’m going into it blind
