I'm not sure who, besides the artists themselves, is sitting around missing the glory days of Image. On the other hand, I like Larsen's Savage Dragon (sorta), I *really* like McFarlane's illustrations, and Rob Liefeld won me over when he was *super* nice to me at a con, so I read it. It was just splash page after splash page - about what you'd expect from Image. It was neither "awesomely stupid" or "just stupid," it was just kinda there. <br /><br />Haunt feels like it can be good if everyone gets on the same page and if Kirkman starts using the strong structure he shows in Invincible and Walking Dead. As it is, Haunt's writing feels more like Kirkman trying to polish a by-the-numbers McFarlane story. Everything is cliche and passionless right now. I'm hoping he can turn it around. The other problem I have is Greg Capulo should *never* do lay-outs. His page design sense has always been awful.kennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06649763676628428647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882610517765002247.post-11170498002360199782009-12-02T21:33:32.130-06:002009-12-02T21:33:32.130-06:00Yeah, I'm not that interested in ghost-sperm S...Yeah, I'm not that interested in ghost-sperm Spider-Man. I'm not that big on Kirkman, but he can be okay. I don't share his affection for Rob Liefeld and the other early Image guys though, so that's why I didn't bother mentioning Image United either, whenever that started coming out. I already lived through the 90s once, thank you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13867868039166531163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882610517765002247.post-40848527958062727042009-12-01T17:40:52.494-06:002009-12-01T17:40:52.494-06:00Oh wow, I wrote long comment earlier, but it got l...Oh wow, I wrote long comment earlier, but it got lost!<br /><br />Anyway, I had said you'll have the 1st 3 volumes of One Piece, plus about 15 more, as soon as I find the box and mail it to you. I'm *really* sorry I'm taking so long on that....<br /><br />I'm *really* glad to see you enjoyed Essex County! I've been singing Jeff Lemire's praises for a while, so I'm happy you are a fan now, too. <br /><br />No love for Haunt? It's not Kirkman's best work, but I'm reading it hoping it gets better. <br /><br />I forgot everything else I wrote!kennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06649763676628428647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882610517765002247.post-52251964901652651592009-12-01T02:09:01.220-06:002009-12-01T02:09:01.220-06:00The ironic thing about Nuns Without Guns is that t...The ironic thing about Nuns Without Guns is that the nuns are indeed packing heat on the cover...<br /><br />And I'm pretty sure the One Piece pack is really just the three first volumes bundled together, if that helps anyone. I'd definitely recommend getting into this series, and plus if you get it off Amazon or something you'd be getting a discount off of a price that is already a fraction of the original cost of the three.Darius Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00133470442986393073noreply@blogger.com
