The guy drew 48 pages every month for a year. Why is it so many artists struggle with 22 pages?

Good stuff Marky.
Looking out for your batman issues next month, no, I mean in two months? Yes July is his first issue."You can't trust them as poets either. The true poet is anonymous, as to his habits, but these boys have to look, act, and apparently smell like poets"
Flannery O'Connor on the beats.

Mark is an incredible talent who puts things out at an incredible speed but every artist is different.

Oh, I know. I'm not talking about the super-rendered, painted style artists. I'm talking about comparable artists. The ones that draw in a "traditional" comic book style. Originally Posted by Will.S

This is why Bagley is awesome. He delivers anywhere from great to average art consistently, without fail. His style is great for Spider-Man, or other books with a lot of dynamic movement. His Flash or Green Lantern would probably be amazing. He definitely should get a chance at JLA once that mess is resolved.

DC needs to throw lots of money at him to keep him out of Marvel's clutches...

He was also working 6 days a week with a little on the side on Sunday and pretty much only interacted with his family during that time. Sounds like a healthy work schedule to me..... Originally Posted by dumbstruck
