On a laptop, or does your bathroom just double as your computer room?

Laptop. But I'm done now, so I gotta go...clean up.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Don't forget to use soap.

I also picked up two more X-Factor back issues (16, 17) this week which were both excellent. I'm digging the Jamie rounding up his dupes storyline. I'll hopefully get caught up this weekend.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Did you get to the preacher-dupe yet?

 

[PhotoJones]

Yeah that's #16. Great issue.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

My favorite of the run so far.

 

[PhotoJones]

Does Raimondi return to the title? He did the preacher issue, then Pham did the following issue, and that's where I'm at. I like Pham's work, but Raimondi's perfect for the book.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Raimondi's back right now. He starts with the first part of the current arc, which was last month's issue.

 

[PhotoJones]

He's great. He's really good with Jaime's subtle facial expressions to match PAD's subtle humor.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, Raimondi's pretty much the perfect penciler for X-Factor. My only problem is that his shading often makes things look kind of like they're shiny or glossy for no reason, but that's minor.

 

[PhotoJones]

There was another guy between Sook and Raimondi who was really good. I can't remember his name though...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Denis Calero?

 

[Darthphere]

Denis Calero?

 

[PhotoJones]

Denis Calero?

Yeah, that's him. His work is very good.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yep. Even Darthphere liked him.

 

[Darthphere]

Yep. Even Darthphere liked him.

Yeah, way better than Pham.

 

[PhotoJones]

I liked Pham's work, and don't see what the hate is all about. It looks to me like a cartoony Charest in some places. And Reber's colors help to soften the change between artists. He's a good consistent colorist.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Darthphere just hates Pham because he thinks it's cool.

I would pick a more popular artist for that. I'm sorry I just don't like his art on the book. You go from Sook, to Calero, to Raimondi and then Pham, that's a huge step down. Roy Allan Martinez and Renato Arlem we're better than him too.

Arlem was great, too. Damn...there's a lot of really good artists to do X-Factor.

Like Ross?

 

[PhotoJones]

Like Ross?

Ross sucks. He's not even worth my flip through anymore. I don't know what happened, but his women look manlier then his men.

 

[Darthphere]

Like Ross?

He deserves it for drawing, sorry painting the same crap over and over again.

Preach it, brutha!!!
