I can honestly say that the move toward photo realistic or photo traced art has affected my buying habits. I don't have any great moral opposition, I just don't dig the style. As such, I'm reading a lot fewer big two books, where that style has become rampant, and a lot more indie books, where pure cartooning is still the primary form.
What the issue comes down to for me is that photo tracing eliminates personal style in most cases. When I see a Ryan Kelly page, I know instantly that it is Ryan Kelly. When I see a standard Marvel page, it's anyone's guess who drew that.
I am looking forward to this week's books, which I haven't been able to say lately. DMZ, Northlanders, Hellblazer, & X-Factor.
Bonus: The best cake is pie.
3 books. I've gone on a dropping rampage over the last little while, and now I am not wasting money on stuff that I don't care about.
BQ: Always early; never late.
Dropped. I'm sure there will be other places to get my avengers on, but this is not the place for me.
