Walt Simonson replacing Yu on Indestructible Hulk.

I was looking for a couple books to drop and this is now officially a dropped book for me. I like Waid and Hulk's decent but I was mostly enjoying the title for the art. Without Yu, I'm not as interested, and I can't stand Simonson's art so that COMPLETELY turns me off of the series.

Thanks Marvel for helping me making a difficult decision

runawayboulder · 01-08-2013, 01:06 PM

Simonson is awesome. A Waid/Simonson collaboration is damn historic in my book.

JewishHobbit · 01-08-2013, 01:20 PM

I know he's a legend but I just don't enjoy his art, but if you like him you can take over my buying of the Hulk comic and help those numbers stay consistent

HighFivingMF · 01-08-2013, 01:22 PM

... Holy ****.

JewishHobbit · 01-08-2013, 01:24 PM

Is that a good Holy poop or a bad Holy poop?

HighFivingMF · 01-08-2013, 01:26 PM

Good. Sorry you're alone right now, JH.

BoredGuy · 01-08-2013, 01:50 PM

well, I appreciate what Simonson's done, his history, the new elements he brought to comic art at the time

However, as a modern Comic artist, he does seem a bit out of place
He has a very old school style, as opposed to the either realistic or hyper-stylized looks of modern artists
And the way inks and colors are done now don't seem to really jibe with his art, it's a little jarring

again, he's a master, but the same way Kirby and Ditko would be out of place nowadays, so is Simonson

all IMO, of course

Although, to now completely contradict what I just said, that Hulk drawing does look pretty awesome and badass
who knows, maybe he's adapting, and taking on a more stylized look to his art

Eh, I'm used to being alone. I typically like the comics that others say suck.

runawayboulder · 01-08-2013, 02:33 PM

That's because they do.

Donnie Darko · 01-08-2013, 07:28 PM

I thought Simonson was an awful fit for the run he did on Avengers. Maybe it was the Bendis talking heads writing style, but his art was just jarring.

Eh, I don't dislike Simonson by any means but I prefer Yu. The writing on this book is amazing though, so bring him on

CConn · 01-08-2013, 09:01 PM

As always, I question JH's logic.

Number 6 · 01-08-2013, 11:03 PM

I sort of understand how people who are more accustomed to modern artists may not see the appeal to someone more "classical", I guess, like Simonson. Definitely a different era and time.

I mean, you know, they're wrong and everything, but I'm seeing their flawed perception.

Scarecrow_King · 01-08-2013, 11:44 PM

Simonson's not as good as he used to be, but I'll still take him over Yu any day.

Simonson is no different than he was years ago. I think it looks odd seeing his art with new age coloring and on glossy paper as compared to back in the day when he was doing Thor and X-Factor. Whatever, it's a classy feel and for an old school fan like myself I welcome it. It's retro baby.

Maybe it's the different coloring and stuff. But when I look at his original Thor run and compare it to something he's done recently, I much prefer his old stuff. I don't see him doing a whole lot of new stuff, though.

What all has he done in the past few years?

Hawkingbird · 01-09-2013, 12:40 AM

Just to say, from what I see, people are loving Bendis and his X Men

I remember his X-Factor. I still have some of those. I feel like they still look good. Something about his Avengers run, though... I thought it was horrible. Huge action scenes looked fine, but any scene with characters just talking made me want to close the book.

So Aaron has another book? ****. Right when I thought I was done adding Marvel books to my pull list...

JTStarkiller · 01-09-2013, 01:43 PM

Which book is that?

BoredGuy · 01-09-2013, 02:19 PM

Thanos origin story that was cancelled last year, perhaps
