    “Art by Greg Land”

    …And I’m out! It was a great four issue run. Sorry Keiron…

      I’m not going to argue for merits of Greg Land’s art, but I will just say that Gillen seems to learned how to USE Greg Land. I think he’s made the connection that if you can write scenes that feature actions that simply can’t be referenced for tracing, Land HAS to draw it himself. And when Land does draw it himself, he’s pretty solid. Some of the Juggernaut fight scenes in the Fear Itself arc made me double check the credits to see if Greg Land was the credited artist.

    I dunno… a mid air kneel down and an inverted katana stab to a giant bat seems a little off. I dont mind Land all that much but some of his stuff just feels forced.

    Why Land, whyyyyy. Why is he married to Uncanny X-Men, the numbering changed isn’t that like a divorce?

    I was on board with the first arc, but I’m 100% agreed on the Greg Land art. I’m out too.

    I will admit that it has been years since I have read a comic with Greg Land art so I am interested to see how it reads when I get my next DCBS box.

    Well, I hope the dialogue’s in braille so I can close my eyes while I read. I kid.

    Solid issue. Fun to see all the fallout from UXF and surprisingly decent Greg Land art.

    Ok when did Namor start talking in the 3rd person? Sounded like The Rock and it was annoying. The rest of the issue was pretty damn good though. I have no problems with Land’s art at all.
    4 stars.

    It was nice to see Psylocke in a more prominent role in the book. I also enjoyed the ties to Uncanny X-Force. This book has grabbed my interest more now that we’re past the first arc and I really didn’t mind Land’s pencils as much as I normally do. There were some pretty bad poses but overall I enjoyed it.

    Story seems like it will be a real step up from the last arc, real good set up so far. And I had no problem at all with the art, I thought it was better then average at least.

    I feel as if I don’t hate Greg Land’s art as much as everyone else. I actually kinda like it. Admittedly, there are divergences in how some of the characters are drawn (Cyclops) as well as some awkward poses, but all in all I don’t think he’s bad. I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy a book he drew, but I’m not going to run the other way screaming either.

    what artist would you rate worse than land? lets have a site rating system for artists. a running tally. this should be easy to do. we can rate the weekly books. why not?

    I liled the issue. Greg land is okay but I can see why people don’t like him. There are much worse artists though, so I guess we should be thankful we can actually make out the characters????
