March 4, 2013 12:18 pm I got to agree with Jim. Unfortunately today, Writers & Editors believe Comics need to be violently graphic. They don't. Give the fans a great story and such violence is not needed.

February 9, 2013 1:58 am Today I believe DC and Marvel lean towards realistic art styles. In my opinion, this type of art style seriously shows a lack in imagination. Sure, once in awhile a Neal Adams, Mike Grell, Sara Pichelli, Alex Maleev, Alex Ross, or a Bill Sienkiewicz may come around (I'm sure there are others). BUT a majority of artists that lean towards realistic styles REALLY lack imagination in the layout and ability to tell a story panel to panel. In my opinion Comics are defined by the ART. Artists should have their own individual style. Get rid of the Phototracing. Phototracing equals NO IMAGINATION and in my opinion shows just how lazy an artist is. Get rid of all the "Jim Lee" clones, seriously. In my opinion if an artist cannot use his/her imagination to establish an art style, they might want to look at work outside of comics. I like to see artists use their imagination, people like Chris Bachalo, Mike Mignola, Humberto Ramos, etc. Yes, I know, Fans have different taste in art and that is why I reference it is "In my opinion." Comics are about the ART. Let the artists run free with their imagination, you might like what you see!
