The Last Rites of Janet Pym and the dumping on Stark, again

[jazzypom.livejournal.com]

For those who came late: Pym is back, since his Skrull! Pym form is dead, and Carol (I'm assuming this is Carol because Mockingbird wouldn't know a Scooby what was going on either) fills Pym in on all the madness, and Tony gets dumped on. Again. All you Thor/Pym slashers, quiet in the back, plz. Click on smaller pictures for legibility goodness.

I am NOT posting pictures from IM 8, because art is FUG it is fug. But Tony is getting there.

THANK YOU!

I love the 'Hello, just walking off with all the important stuff nao. KTNXBAI!' Fuck You-ness of it all but the art...oh god, it is cringeworthy!

FUG, art is fug for IM #8

[jazzypom.livejournal.com]

In a way I'm glad that I'm only getting the floppies and not the trades for IM, because ew? Art is ugh. The digital shading is ugly and muddy, and there's no luminosity to it at all. I'm wondering why this artist is still getting paid.

Tell me about it. Sometimes I think that the only comic that has been decently digitally coloured is 1602.

The problem I find with the recent Iron Man art is that the inking doesn't fuse well with the colouring. Digital shading can look great (like Adi Granov's art for Extremis) but it just looks out of place when there's bold and solid inking lines. The two styles just aren't... meshing well, AT ALL.

Digital plus ink = BAD!

Granov's still seemed to lack something. I dunno, it's just a tad lifeless.

I liked the story in IM 8 so much I didn't mind the art at all. And on the positive side, the artist draws the cutest Tonkysmirk I've ever seen, pornstache or not. :D

Did anybody notice that -- oh wait, I don't want to spoil... I'd better find a post where we're talking about IM 8.

You want me to upload the pictures from IM 8

[jazzypom.livejournal.com]

For the comm?

The fans here might cry though. I cried when I saw the art. It is so fug. It is fug.

Re: You want me to upload the pictures from IM 8

I'd love it if you'd upload, if it isn't too much trouble. There are elements in the story -- art aside -- that are very intruiging.

I have it, but my scanner is hooked up to my other computer and that makes uploading a whole days-long ordeal. :P

Done.

and done.

I have yet to have the hard copy in my hands. It's like, all torrents... which isn't as good as having the book in my hand.

Awesome, yay! Thank you!
