I’m still working on capturing the look of real-world people.
I was watching the TV ad for Thor: The Dark World during Agents Of SHIELD. I can’t be the only one who thought he looked more like Superman than the guy in Man Of Steel. By the way, I tried putting the basketball pattern on not-Superman and darkening the colors but it didn’t quite come out as planned. At least the far shot looks like Nolan and Snyder’s approved costume, stupid as it looks.
I give a lot of credit to the doctor and nurses who treated my mom, and even to the pharmaceutical company who created the medications they used. I also give thanks to God and the BW Twitter followers who prayed for her or just wished us well. That and our family were a big help to her, although she doesn’t know about the Twitter reports.
This week we’ll give the Galactica comics a rest before diving into Realm Press’s run on the series. Expect more complaining about the “painted art” style because Realm used it a lot. And yet it still looked better than Liefeld’s Galactica. Commentaries will be light this week, but I’ll try to fit one or two in, and hopefully I’ll be back for this week’s Friday Night Fight. Time will tell.
Don’t get excited. I”m still without an income. I either didn’t order this or my local comic store was shorted, I don’t remember which. Either way I didn’t get this when it first came out. Lucky for me Chris Giarrusso, the guy behind the series, was at ComiCONN again this year (while I was still employed) and I picked it up there. He even did a quick sketch of G-Man on the credits page. Class act, that Mr. Giarrusso.
“Why DOES the SHIELD plane have that on top of the plane?”
G-Man V3: Coming Home
Image Comics (2013; collects all six issues of the miniseries in a slightly smaller form)
CREATOR/WRITER/ARTIST: Chris Giarrusso WEB & BOOK DESIGN/COLOR ASSIST: Dave Giarrusso EDITOR: Branwyn BigglestoneYou know what I wanted to have here today? A Captain PSA strip. I even think it was one of my better strips. I liked the idea, and the art looks better than previous installments. I’m quite proud of it, even if there are easily better comics out there. It’s an improvement for me and I’m fine with that.
Then the Man Of Steel creative team had to open their mouths again!
This time it’s writer David S. Goyer, one of the people who screwed up the Superman mythos in Smallville and worked on Nolan’s Batman films. This already made him an ill fit for Superman but he continues to campaign for their version of Kal-El like Obama pushing his health care plan. I’m not buying either campaign but this isn’t a political blog so Goyer’s asking for my full blogging wrath. This is from a BATFA and BFI Screenwriters’ Lecture as reported by Digital Spy where he continues to act like his Superman is the best. What he still fails to gather is…this isn’t Superman!
Yet another cover that forgets to acknowledge which character the main story’s about.
Battlestar Galactica #22
Marvel Comics (December, 1980)
“Black Is the Color Of My True Love’s hair”OK, wait, I’m sorry. Normally I save the commentaries for later, but this is the title they went with? Yes, I’m sure it’s a reference or homage or whatever you want to call it but while I’ve had some lame titles in the past for stories and articles, that doesn’t make this one any less lame. Right, back to the credits.
