Marvel Goes Digital And Mobile
On Oct 30, 2009 4:15 PMSadly only available in the States. Which may well be a good thing. Comixology and iVerse don't have a great range but that hasn't stopped me sinking too much money into both. Hopefully a itablet will come along and Longbox will revolutionise everything though. I want to pick up the comics I want, not the pick of the few I'm offered.

On Oct 22, 2009 4:45 PMStrangely enough I thought it was a good week for covers. Cowboy Ninja Viking gets the orange nod but I'm more partial to Amazing Spidey 609, Invincible 67, M Avengers 30, Xmen Legacy, Hulk 603, Scalped and Batman Confidential than to the Azrael and Chew (although the Chew cover is good that said). Still, horses for courses. Also: why the flying flump are we still only on Invi...
Go to CommentFor This, I Say "Thank You, Rob Liefeld."
On Aug 11, 2009 4:11 PMNowhere near a fan of Liefeld (in fact the whole image/Liefeld art style explosion was part of the reason I started moving away from comics in the first place... So he possibly did bring people into comics but I'd argue he possibly drove some away as well...) But am a massive fan of iFanboy so, um, haven't quite got back into comics per se but love catching up on your comments. And by the tim...

On Aug 6, 2009 3:00 PMFab article part 2 :) For some reason I misread paul Pope as Paul grist which would have been equally fitting. Mckeevers an excellent shout and I hope you find the image someday. I Qued for hours at my first con to get ian Gibson to sign something for me which is similarly lost :(
Go to CommentSchools of comic book art: Painterly (non-comic book) artists
On Jul 30, 2009 12:00 PMFab article. In another slice of my life I teach at an art college and try and get a comic related brief in once a year (hey, unit 44: narrative illustration is my friend). Pretty much all of the artists you mention are on the research list (with Sienkiewicz, Williams and McKean getting highest billing in my own personal likes) as are the more left field on the tradional side like Sim, Veitch,...

On Jul 30, 2009 8:47 AMLoving the Jae Lee cover. The other two... hmmm... And I LOVE Bolland. Just doesn't seem like his best. Haven't had a chance to check out the other covers. Is there a good site to see them all up online?

On Jul 2, 2009 12:00 PMWhat, no Cerebus? And does Mouse Guard count? And no TMNT? Or Blankets? Maus? Palestine? Persepolis? Cages? Concrete? Glamourpuss? Bone? Knockabout anthologies? Max Zillion? Grendel as well mentioned too. How about Asterix too? Matalzoic was a corker as was the Maxx which had an indie sensibility under the Image monicker. Camelot 3000? How indie is indie: The Spirit should be in with ...

On Jun 25, 2009 12:00 PMYes, no, no. Is the All Hail Megatron part of a series of covers in the same style? Like it loads. Daredevil 119, Iron Fist (Djurd variant), Nova 26 (decade variant), Red Sonja (renaud variant), Rotten, Weapon X 3 and Land of Oz manga all got the high marks from me this week... I love scrolling through Comixology :)

On Jun 11, 2009 9:00 AM... Not convinced by the choices. In a week that gave us two cool Deadpool covers, the Soul Kiss cov, The Spirit, X factor 44, Beta Ray Bill, Unthinkable, DMZ, Punisher, Anna Mercury and a host of other top class covers I'd have chosen any of them over the three offered (sorry :) ) Anyhow: my three would have been: Soul Kiss, Deadpool and poss Wolvie vs Hulk (for placemen...

On May 26, 2009 12:30 PMJust got back from holiday to catch this thread. Woop :) Haven't had time to post anything but will try to sometime soon and also well up for adding something to an anthology if that ever comes to be. Will catch up on the thread and the scripts later when things are packed away and less chaotic but for the moment thanks Paul and the ifanboy team for putting this on and reading through the ent...
