(UPDATE) Artist Swap! Birds of Prey, Suicide Squad, Animal Man, and Resurrection Man Play Musical Chairs
February 9, 2012 4:10 pm Even with only that one image to judge, I am already liking Foreman's pencils on Birds of Prey far better than I am on Animal Man, and Pugh on AM more than Foreman. Not to belittle Foreman though, a friend showed me a Thor/Loki thing he did last night that I thought was fantastic.

February 9, 2012 1:00 am If you've been reading since 1963, then you're not the market they're aiming for anyway, so just skip it.

POWERS #8
February 7, 2012 2:46 pm Wow, I was right. BMB announced he was going to be leaving Avengers, and an issue of Powers came out.

February 7, 2012 11:50 am Thief of Thieves and Conan are already on my pull list. I'll have to see if my budget can handle that FF book. I wants it, I do.

Top 5: Modern Comic Book Creator Pariahs
February 7, 2012 11:46 am Moore hasn't produced borderline bigoted work (That I have seen anyway). He's just an utter dick to publishers he's worked with before, and wacky with the whole magician thing. He's a grumpy old codger, while Miller is a crazy man in the woods with lots of guns. They're two different animals. Moore could stand to get off his high horse, but hey, he also didn't do Spawn/Batman.

Top 5: Modern Comic Book Creator Pariahs
February 7, 2012 10:16 am Wow. Really can't argue with this list. Also, guilty as charged. I don't think Heroes did Jeph Loeb any favors other than fattening his bank account. Greg Land can't keep a character looking the same between panels, much less pages. Liefeld might seem like a great dude in interviews and all, but I've read first hand accounts of how he can be a lying, manipulative nutterbutter. Friend of a friend who worked directly with Liefeld, for what it's worth. Not going to air the dirty laundry, but it was utterly bizarre.
As for Miller, I agree that it seems he has gone off the rails, but maybe “a bunch of iPhone, iPad wielding spoiled brats who should stop getting in the way of working people and find jobs for themselves.” was less vitriol, and more hitting a bit too close to home for some people. Truth hurts sometimes. If you called me a fat, balding wastrel that pissed away every opportunity he ever had, it would sting, but it wouldn't be wrong.
Moore has gone off the rails too, but in an entirely different way. I think he can be an ass sometimes. A hilarious ass, but still an ass. I guess writing some of the best damned comics ever earns you that right though.
