January 17, 2012 3:27 pm I don;t buy the book I've just kept an eye on it since the relaunch cuz I was curious to see how it would do. The point isn't that it offends me, it's just eye-rolling. I don't have an beef with his storytelling or general ability. Just that subjectively, his need to constantly put women in sexy or alluring positions when the scene doesn't call for it is rather irritating.

January 17, 2012 3:00 pm His cheesecake art is outrageous though. He's definitely not a bad artist but his shameless urge to draw sexy ladies constantly is embarrassing. I've no problem with showing an attractive lady in a superhero book but March absolutely pores over them. It really distracts from the story and reminds me that comics haven't quite gotten away from that sexless, horny stereotype yet.

June 6, 2011 2:41 pm Regarding the Archie email, while I agree with Conor that you wouldn't want to see any of the things he described in an Archie comic, I do think he jumped to one extreme without considering the full argument. Yes we should all be agreed that no one wants to see such troubling, deadly serious subjects like rape or abortion in Archie, but at the same time I think there's some "real life issues" that can be tackled in a manner that is instructive, while still remaining light hearted and entertaining. 

June 6, 2011 2:22 pm Good God, Guillem March has some of the most unashamedly cheesecake (yet admittedly pretty) art I've ever. 

January 19, 2011 3:09 pm After reading his mediocre work at Marvel I'm so glad for this. Diggle needs a serious kick up the ass. He hasn't written anything near the quality of The Losers or his Hellblazer run in years (or if he has, I haven't read it). Hopefully a creator owned work will be more refreshing, both for him and the reader, after a couple of years of so-so superhero stuff.

Thanks for answering the question Josh! I too like The Exterminators and while I will admit it lost a bit of the immediacy and drive of the first few trades I still think the last few arcs and one shots were damn good comics. The last arc expecially was fun although I agree it was very rushed. Also some great art from Tony Moore, Darick Robertson and some chap called Chris Samnee.

I added the arcs option in the email because as you rightly pointed out, mainstream superhero comics don't generally end. But great answer and as always for the letter column, some really good questions (from the other people, I'm not talking about me!)

I was re-reading X-Statix recently and the whole time I was thinking "fuck this could make some brilliant tv". It's cynical and jaded enough to attract people who wouldn't necessarily give Superheroes a chance too.

December 13, 2009 3:04 pm Yes it's a bitch Quitely isn't coming back for an age but DAMN I love me some Cameron Stewart art!

November 17, 2009 7:16 pm This sounds like the kinda retarded idea that Garth Ennis had to save the Punisher from in the late 90's. Mind you I presume the whole thing will be good humoured and tongue-in-cheek. And Tony Moore? Daym!
