Diamond List for September 17th, 2008

[CaptainCanada]

Wow, almost every comic I'm genuinely excited about from Marvel comes out this week, and so does X-Factor.

Ooh, burn.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I want to be interested in X-Factor. It's just trying so hard to make me drop it right now...

 

[CaptainCanada]

I read the post-MC arc, which was decent, then dropped it when Stroman arrived, because his art is Teh Suck.

X-Factor was so good starting out, and then got mediocre... but the art was still good. And now Stroman really kills it for me. If not for Darwin joining the team I'd be done. I'm hoping I can grow use to Stroman, because I don't like Darwin enough to endure that kind of pain on my eyes for long.

[TheCorpulent1]

Just drop it and then pick up the book again in November. Stroman isn't permanent.

Who's replacing him?

 

[Hans]

Does it matter? It's not like whoever it is could be any worse.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Fair point.

 

[Hans]

I would--and I think I'm being honest here--I would rather have Rob Liefeld draw X-Factor. I would. At least then, when I'm reading the book and hating the art, I'm doing it with a smile on my face a good chuckle or two for good measure.

 

[Manic]

I would--and I think I'm being honest here--I would rather have Rob Liefeld draw X-Factor. I would. At least then, when I'm reading the book and hating the art, I'm doing it with a smile on my face a good chuckle or two for good measure.

It's sad to admit, but I agree. I'd rather have Liefeld on art than Stroman. Of course, I'd really prefer to have Raimondi or Sook back.

 

[Kevin]

sook! His art is still the best art for that book.

 

[Hans]

Sook is incredible. Too bad he's slow as molasses.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, and he's not too incredible when he's forced to speed up, either.

 

[Hans]

Oh yeah? I don't know if I've seen rushed Sook art. It's bad?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I only vaguely remember it. It was on either early X-Factor or something he did for Wildstorm. It definitely wasn't as good as his covers, which are uniformly amazing.
