Look what I found:



The colored image is orders of magnitude better than the black and white.

Oh Jesus ****ing Christ that's ugly. Not only is the coloring bland and uninspired as **** but it obscures the linework like squinting at the sun obscures the sky, defeating the purpose of drawing all that detail in the first place. You have zero taste.

I think that first example is pretty awful and the second is actually amazing. The style can just get muddy at times without good contrast and texture.

imagine those drawings with this coloring:

Meh. Notice where all the high detail stuff is there's monochromatic coloring, and where ever there is color variance it's clearly computerized shading. If the art showed stuff that would need different and distinct coloring among all that detail not only would it vastly increase the time necessary to color it the coloring would probably end up looking very busy and garish and so you would need to dial down the detail.

And also the artwork itself is far jankier. With all that detail you'd expect more exactness in linework and yet there is plenty of squigglieness and lack of symmetry that I would put down probably to lack of time than any kind of artistic statement. The blessing and curse of Berserk is that it's released whenever Kentaro Miura decides to release a new chapter, which means long delays but artwork of the utmost exactitude.

I don't dislike onions because of taste. I dislike them because they feel awful to chew.

How dare you, DC? How dare you release this when my Trump bucks are running on fumes and I'm trying to reign in my spending? How dare you tempt me with this mana from heaven when you've in the past resigned your classic comic runs to obscurity while Marvel releases everything that ever sold more than ten issues in sumptuous omnibuses? Jesus give me guidance.

Pretty ****ing fantastic Superman story with some great Lex Luthor action (he's seriously comics' greatest *******, and I'm including J. Jonah Jameson). It's yet another interpretation of Superman's origin story but well worth your time. It's kinda hard to get tired of Superman origin stories tbh. I was super bummed when I looked up to see if the writer, Mark Waid, had used this series to start an actual monthly run with the character but alas, no.

TFW you see the 77 gig torrent for all ten seasons of Smallville that's been going for two days is now at 99%



Yeah at first seeing that Clark and Lex knew each other as kids like the Smallville TV show that was going on at the time I rolled my eyes but how it was used hit me real good in the feels. I've been Clark and I've been Lex and I'm still Clark and Lex but mostly Lex.

Ive come to realize that super hero comics are just fan fiction that people dont think is lame.. It'd be a lot cooler if there was just one story, and if people wanted to make their own story they made their own characters.
