:lovin: Here’s hoping it gets leaked early.
If anyone here is not reading Secret Six, then you are missing on a lot. This is one of DC’s best ongoing series ATM and has great dialog and scenes. The characters are pretty kickass as well.
Case in point-
Secret Six #5 is fucking great
[details=Spoiler]Issue begins with Bane tied up to some poles in chains. Junior begins flinging Bricks at him so that Bane would tell him where the card is, but Bane refuses to talk. Junior has 508 bricks…
Back at Vegas, the team starts to recover from Cheshire’s poison and are later assaulted by the remaining metahumans that hunted them down.
Vandal tries to convince her 3 teammates to go help Bane, but they refuse. When Vandal says ‘please’, they eventually decide to help out.
As they arrive to save Bane, Ragdoll reveals Junior to be…his sister! I never saw that one coming!
One thing I didn’t like was Aarong got killed, him and his brother were some neat characters.[/details]
Fucking awesome issue and the lines are just great-
Bane (thinking): “I have only one rule when dealing with the enemy. Give them nothing. Not solace, not mercy, not kindness, not torment, not provisions and most assuredly not satisfaction.”
Jeannette: “I don’t care about your brat, girl. I care about your manners.”
Ragdoll: “Everything I ever heard about Vegas buffets is TRUE TRUE TRUE!”
Ragdoll: “Oh look, they even have flying prostitutes. That’s service for you.”
Deadshot: "Some’a them bad guys wouldn’t go down from a bullet, lady."
Jeannette: “Yes, well. I suppose that’s what the grenades were for.”
“Faces of Evil: Hush” (Det. Comics #852) was pretty good. It follows Hush after the events of Heart of Hush and it was a good read.
Terror Titans was decent. A little too soap opera, but there’s some good action in the beginning.
Why are comics from DC’s always finished with old or rubbish artwork?
I want to add more DC titles to my collection but cannot find any titles with nice modern artwork. The artwork I like so far in DC comics is artwork from Jim Lee i.e Batman Hush, All Star Batman Robin and superman for tomorrow.
Are there any other DC books which have similar modern artwork. I hate the artwork in Batman Long Haloween, Arkum Asylum, Dark Knight and even the new title Allstar Superman.
Whilst I recognise I hate old styles and therefore probably do not want to read anything written before the year 2000 I am surprised that even the modern DC titles have rubbish artwork. This is unlike Marvels titles which have good modern artwork in nearly all of their titles. What the hell is going on with DC?
Can anyone recommend me Jim Lee calibre DC comics?
@Ukbondraider, if you don’t like Tim Sale nor Frank Quietly’s artwork, then actually recommending a series for you to read based on art is fucking difficult. Most of the books I’d recommend I base on writing, very rarely would I recommend it for the art. …and how is Lee’s art ‘modern’? The guy’s been an artist since the early 90s IIRC.
Truth be told I have rarely read a DC comic book that has art that I didn’t like. In fact even if I did read an issue and didn’t like the art I would eventually like that art in a later issue, or be utterly surprised that the artist did the art for a previous issue and I had no problem with that either.
Saying that DC’s art style is rubbish is rather silly.
Its all in the eye of the beholder. Art is subjective. Your taste will differ than others. As far as art goes, I really like the recent Van Sciver stuff (GL), and I think he’s doing “Flash: Rebirth”. I also like Tony Daniel who did the recent Batman: RIP story, but some people don’t like his style.
Yeah. I didn’t like Tony Daniel’s art in Batman. I think it completely crippled Morrison’s script. Daniel’s art was like… a poor man’s '90s Kubert brother on a bad day doing a rush job, only watered down with month-old milk. Can you imagine how much more sensible and impactful R.I.P. could have been if J.H. Williams III had illustrated all of it?
Yeah, I understand why some people don’t like his style. I didn’t like how he drew Tim Drake in the “Battle for the Cowl” Teaser image. Legs look weird. I’ve been a fan though since he did Teen Titans, so I guess I have a little bias.
Karl Kerschl is also a really good artist, but I don’t think he does any ongoing series. Most of the stuff I’ve seen from him are one-shots or fill-ins.
Kerschl’s art is really nice. He did the Teen Titans: Year One mini, I think. I read the first couple issues but kind of lost interest in it. The story was kinda weak. Maybe I’ll get the TRADE, BABY if I see it for 50% off.
Never touched a DC book but after seeing Static Shock in a Terror Titans and some of the other Milestone characters, I may start buying DC comics now.
Wow…it’s good to see some other Milestone readers here. Warms my heart.
Yeah i honestly didn’t read Milestone comics till that Static Shock show came along and thats when i found out about him, Icon, and Hardware.
I read Icon back in the day. I have most of the series, stopped when I had job troubles at one point and dropped a lot of books. That’s the one Milestone title I collected because I liked the artwork in that book the best. I got like two issues of Blood Syndicate but never could get into it. It was pretty funny to see members of Blood Syndicate show up on Static’s cartoon in the later seasons.
Static will be a member of the Teen Titans IIRC.
Oh and Robin is longer a member of the Teen Titans.
Final Crisis Darkseid pants and Batman’s fate
FINAL CRISIS 6
[details=Spoiler]so we all know that Batman’s fate is decided in FC#6 and basicly it went down like this: Batman (alive and well like nothing happened) came face to face against Darkseid (wearing jeans…) and shot a god-killing bullet (same bullet material thaht killed Orion) and just as the fire was shot, jeans-wearing-Darkseid used his omega beams, the bullet got Darkseid in the heart but the omega beam also got Batman.
than Superman came back to earth raging and mading heat visioning everywhere and in the last panel he was holding batman fucked up burned to crisp body, Batman died by the hand of Darkseid (wearing jeans).
more stuff happened but that was the major one, an ok+ issue, but where the hell is that dark monitor MANDARKK???[/details]
^^
I just read it. Ho.Ly. Shit.
