CBR: When Words Collide - Nov 30, 2009

[TimothyCallahan]

No, I think some people just think it's ugly or poorly drawn.

But those people tend to think Jim Lee is the pinnacle of comic book art. Which is a pretty big indicator that they don't really understand comic book art.

[NickFury90]

I think its completely hideous, and my favorite artists are Quitely, Williams III, Wieringo, Hitch, and Mazzucchelli :/

[TimothyCallahan]

Hitch now, or Hitch from the Authority days? Because he seems like the odd man out on that list.

Still, you like those guys and you can't see the energy in Miller's DKSA art? You can't appreciate the bold style?

I mean, you might still think it's hideous and yet see the personality in it.

Hitch from the Authorty/Ultimates days. The Absolute Editions/Ultimates Omnibus are some GORGEOUS books. Now, his work seems really rushed, but when he's on point, he's one of the best.

For DKSA, I can see the energy, the dynamic posing, the work of a man's who's been mastering the field of comics for several decades, but its just so damn UGLY that I just can't stand to look at it.

And its just in this book, for some odd reason. It works incredibly well with the black and white Sin City volumes(at least the ones I read), Dark Knight Returns(where he seems more restrained, perhaps because of Klaus Jenson's inks), or even Ronin(despite the absurd future environment and outfits).

I get what Tim means though about the artwork though. I loved the Superchix...What can I say. I loved the lots of things about it. I read it over and over again although not as many times as the original DK. Although, Authority, Vol. 1 made my Top 10 of the 00s not DK2. Nonetheless, I really dug on the way DK2 moved and looked. I loved the costumes, especially Barry Allen's. I still loved the Hawk kids. This was mos def my SuperFriends all grown up. Although I really don't like the treatment of Dick Grayson but someone hadda be the Big Bad, huh? I haven't read All-Star Batman & Robin ('sides #1 where I got Off The Boat)...am I to take that contextually? Should I go read All-Star B&R to feel better about DK2?

Remember when Jim Lee was new? Ahhh...for me it was the Genosian Press Gang in Uncanny X-Men. I was into anime then too like Robotech and the Press Gang had this really neat mech captained by a Nagel girl. I was in love.
