Diamond List for July 4, 2007

[PhotoJones]

Exactly. And now he draws everyone in liquid claymation on acid trips. What happened!?

I don't think he's bad. I think he's still extremely talented. The style he's evolved into, though is not one of my favorites. I still like it, but not as much as his early GenX work.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I want to like it, but it's totally incomprehensible to me.

 

[PhotoJones]

I want to like it, but it's totally incomprehensible to me.

It's not that hard...really.

 

[Eros]

I want to like it, but it's totally incomprehensible to me.

Don't beat yourself up over it.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

"Assault on Weapon Plus" begs to differ.

 

[PhotoJones]

"Assault on Weapon Plus" begs to differ.

I actually liked his art better on that what he's currently doing.

You're not serious.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's PJ. You know he totally is.

 

[PhotoJones]

You're not serious.

You're not allowed to say anything about tastes in art, because it's well known that you have none.

It's PJ. You know he totally is.

Look. I'll level with you. I have to like Bachalo. His GenX work was my childhood. I felt like the coolest nerd in school for reading that book. For nostalgia's sake, I have to convince myself that he's still putting out good work.

False. At least I'm not defending Assault on Weapon Plus.

Well, I can understand that. Sometimes I look at Jurgens' art and I'm like, "Why did I like this?" Then I remember that Jurgens basically was Superman to me in my childhood.

 

[PhotoJones]

False. At least I'm not defending Assault on Weapon Plus.

I will do it till the end.

 

[Eros]

Well, I can understand that. Sometimes I look at Jurgens' art and I'm like, "Why did I like this?" Then I remember that Jurgens basically was Superman to me in my childhood.

You liked Dan Jurgens' art as a child, see I Can understand that, you were young and naive.

 

[PhotoJones]

Well, I can understand that. Sometimes I look at Jurgens' art and I'm like, "Why did I like this?" Then I remember that Jurgens basically was Superman to me in my childhood.

Yeah, Jurgens got me to pick up Sensational Spider-Man when he started the book in the 90's. I still like him alright.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I love his layouts and stuff. The overall aesthetic of his art is just so scratchy and sometimes kind of sloppy now, though. I try to remember the good times.

Yeah...his new Booster Gold work looks pretty good, though.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, that restored some of my faith. I think he just doesn't devote as much time to art these days. He's been mostly writing lately.

 

[PhotoJones]

Damn. I hate feeling nostalgic. My girlfriend hates it more, since I come home and dig out old books, ignoring her completely.

 

[Eros]

How do you keep your "girlfriend" then?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

He's great in the sack.

 

[PhotoJones]

And Corp knows, too.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Intimately.

 

[Eros]

He's great in the sack.

assumeing he finds time to have "sex" with his "Girlfriend".

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Find me a guy who doesn't.

 

[Eros]

Find me a guy who doesn't.

He would rather ignore his "Girlfriend" and go through a box of old comics apprently.
