The Best Reprints of 2008: Heavy Liquid

On Jan 15, 2009 12:00 PM

i did pick this up right away, as i'm a huge paul pope fan and it was originally released during one of my comic breaks.   i love his artwork, but was distracted by the type and how it was scaled to fit in the balloons. i think pope draws the balloons on the page by hand? in his other work the lettering looks more hand made but in this series the various sizes of fonts just glared at m...

15 Years Later and I'm Still Reading Youngblood

On Nov 26, 2008 9:13 AM

you know i never really liked lefield's art when he was popular. i mean i didn't hate it, he was no jim lee. but now i look at it and i can appreciate his art choices. personally it doesn't look amateuris to me, but just stylized.   i appreciate this review and i might just pick this re-written story in glorious hardcover.   love the hardcovers.
