Deal with Sal Buscema was that he could draw, like, 75 pages a week, so yeah, I'm sure he was beloved BY EDITORS, and maybe they were too overworked / dumb to notice that this was really about 25 copies of the same 3 pages, again and again. <BR/>Every Sal Buscema fight scene, ever, ended in a shot of the villain flying toward the reader, upside-down face first, with the hero in the distant background doing a big cheezy roundhouse punch. <BR/>Were it not for Don Heck (95 pages per week), there would never have been a more boring super-hero comicbook artist than Sal Buscema.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13848504.post-18510181015808694122007-10-14T22:28:00.000-05:002007-10-14T22:28:00.000-05:00Marv Wolfman was a great Marvel writer - the compa...Marv Wolfman was a great Marvel writer - the company where he created Nova, gave Spider-Woman a cool back-story and wrote the awesome Tomb of Dracula.<BR/><BR/>But DC was another story.

I thought he did a great job with the faces and emotions of characters during his Spectacular Spider-Man run, and a pretty good job with the big time action when he did art on Simonson's Thor run. he's not one of my favorites, but there are any number of artists I'd put him ahead of (I'm not a fan of Frank Quitely myself).<BR/><BR/>I liked Nextwave, but not as much as the people who screamed "This is what comics fan say they want, and they don't buy it! Comic fans suck!" I laughed sometimes, and I cheered other times.<BR/><BR/>I don't get people's problems with Marv Wolfman either.CalvinPitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815632086057048846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13848504.post-54283265079787482302007-10-12T02:52:00.000-05:002007-10-12T02:52:00.000-05:00Okay; JLA: New Maps of Hell isn't that good, but i...Okay; JLA: New Maps of Hell isn't that good, but it really is far from being a representative Ellis work. It's like judging Mark Waid on The Kingdom.<BR/><BR/>Really, Transmetropolitan is one of the best comics I've read. Especially if you like politics, writing, truth, and technology. <BR/><BR/>Also, Thunderbolts, while not being 100% Ellis magic, is pretty cool too. It just feels good to read stories about these D-List superheroes beating the shit out of these despicable A-List villains. It's righteous and novel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13848504.post-69255577873487126322007-10-11T23:54:00.000-05:002007-10-11T23:54:00.000-05:00Dude, Adam Strange is awesome.Dude, Adam Strange is awesome.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13848504.post-29492819670062337632007-10-11T23:45:00.000-05:002007-10-11T23:45:00.000-05:00Warren Ellis is really hit or miss with me.

For instance, I'm digging Black Summer a lot, but Doktor Sleepless is tedious and, as you put it, tries way too hard. His straight superhero stuff like JLA and JLU is pretty weak because apparently he only has one story to tell, and Grant Morrison already told it better. Still, I'd recommend reading some more of his stuff before judging too harshly, because he can be a really good writer when he's not just in it for the paycheck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
