Comments on: Miscellaneous Musings, the Ultimate Edition! http://johnnysaturn.com/2009/12/11/miscellaneous-musings-the-ultimate-edition/ Updates Monday and Thursday Fri, 30 Jul 2010 12:59:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Scottstory http://johnnysaturn.com/2009/12/11/miscellaneous-musings-the-ultimate-edition/comment-page-1/#comment-3270 Scottstory Tue, 15 Dec 2009 15:06:52 +0000 http://johnnysaturn.com/?p=4485#comment-3270 We're pretty much on the same page, Joel, about JrJr. I've always dug his work, and his Daredevil run was incredibly awesome! On Spider-Man, though, he drew Spidey skinnier and skinnier as issues went on, and his feet bigger and bigger, and I was never comfortable with that. I could appreciate that Spider-Man would be an endomorph, ie bony with lean muscle, but this exaggeration seemed a bit much. I've seen some Spider-Man covers where the artist draws him to like childlike and juvenile, like he was 15 again, and that seems odd to me too.

I am just now taking an interest in Kick-ass although I've known about it for a while. John Romita Jr. has been one of my favorite artists since the late 80's. Strangely, I couldn't dig his work on Amazing Spider-man. It was no less stellar, but his style just doesn't look right with Spidey. I loved his work on Daredevil, he is my Daredevil artist and has in some way influenced me as an artist. That being said, while I am looking forward to the movie, I would certainly not want to skip out on the GN simply because I would miss out on his work. ALTHOUGH... I just read today that there will be a small animated part of the movie based in his style. How cool is that? Happy Birthday, Scott!!

I do intend to check out the New Wave when it comes out in trade. It's a shame they couldn't get the shadow in there, too. Thanks, Scott!

"wanted" wasn't my thing. Not the comic OR the movie... "Batman: Battle for the Cowl" is pretty good. You should check out the new series: New Wave. There's a special "Batman Doc Savage Special" that is REALLY cool. There's some nice things going on at DC. Happy Birthday, man!!
