I can't argue with that one. Coloring over other people's pictures/photos seems to be his entire schtick.

Not sure how that's really a selling point, if you're Marvel. "Our staff includes the world's greatest photoshopper!"

I don't know, I haven't bought comics in months, but I know I've not purchased or dropped titles in the past because of Land's "art".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I would drop a title if he switched on to it, and I wouldn't pick one up he worked on. I hate his work, and I'm no longer going to struggle through art I don't like for writing that's not bad, or vice versa. I want to enjoy the comic. I don't need comics. I want to want them.

Bah, he's not even that.

I agree completely. I loved Ultimate Spider-man, but when they changed artists, I really didn't like the new guy's style. I tried to stick with it, but my interest waned until I stopped caring enough to go pick up the next issue. I never even made it to them killing off Peter and bringing in Miles, so I can't even comment on the new Ultimate Spidey.

I also had a lot of trouble with Scott Pilgrim. I really didn't like the art, but forced myself to stick with it simply because everyone raved about it and I had enjoyed the movie. In the end, I love the story, but still wish the art was better.

Bah, he's not even that.

World's most infamous photoshopper?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That just kinda scared me, Tom.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hey, did you guys know that Planetary is fucking amazing? I'll bet you did. (Strega, there's also a review of RED in there for you. Also, you made me so afraid that the ending was going to be hugely anticlimactic or something, but I had no issues!)

Told you so.

Also, be grateful you weren't reading it as it came out. At least I only had the last issue to wait for when I was hooked up with it.

Nice!

I have highlights the FAQ Ellis did on the WEF somewhere, let me see if I can dig that up. He answered some questions about references. And then he got irritated and set Fraction loose on the posters, which is also entertaining.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
