• Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version.

Ion

I can't stand how it seems Toccini's incapable of drawing Kyle's symbol consistently. It looks like two glowing blobs rather than a stylized lantern. Same problems I had with him on Thor: Son of Asgard, really. I keep reading each issue of Ion and thinking of how much better it would be with another artist.

I think Toccini's art works for this particular story, but I doubt I would like it in any other comic book. This style seems a bit more artsy, and given that Kyle is an artist, I think the combination works.


:up: Yup, Corp likes to complain a lot.
 
I think he did it on purpose. Ion's costume is constantly changing because he was losing control. Now that Kyle's finally gotten his head straight, I'm thinking it will become consistent.
 
That would be cool to see.

Which I guess is the reverse of "Ignorance is bliss". :O

Looking back on his Thor art, I laugh at the very notion. He's an inconsistent artist, plain and simple.

See, that's how I feel. His style is almost perfect for this story but put him on Superman or something of the sort and I'd be the first to complain. Though I really dug his sequence with Kyle on earth at that art retreat. I dunno, I guess I'm just happy that I dig it because I'm really enjoying this series.
 
Plain and simple, his art fits the style and mood of the book. While Reis, who pretty much just draws generic superheroes wouldnt.
 
I'm not arguing that, I just wish he could clean his style up a bit and not alternate between solid work and deformed, abstract messes.

I guess, youre thinking of something like he did in #2? Thats probably his best issue art wise.
 
Yeah, there was one issue that looked great all the way through. The lantern symbol was still kind of wonky, but nowhere near as bad as some other issues. I think it was either #2 or #3.
 
#3 was the one on Mogo where he saw all his dead ho's, that one?
 
Well the next ish comes out tom. so im bumping this thread for everyone. No I dont want recognition im just so excited that the hype is back I feel like doing a whole bunch of favors.
 
Cant wait, great mini so far, better than *cough*GL*cough*
 
You can say that I dont even buy the book (GL) but I can smell the stench of it everytime I pass it. Either that or that is the stench of the fat guy who is sweating way to much over the recent issue of Girls.
 
The art's great though - ****ing Ivan Reis could be this generation's Neal Adams.
 
I never really diss art I can actually put up with a crap story if the art is good. Its just personal taste. But I also dont like buying something I wont enjoy because it is that bad.
 
I just have to say that this issue was so freakin amazing!!! I loved it Kyle was made into an ultimate badass in this issue. There was some neat Kyle and Hal interaction in this ish, something we havent see a whole lot of, or I havent seen alot of. It was really a good issue.
 
The guy at my LCS said I'd be disappointed with this ish. After reading it, I don't feel that way at all. I could see how the buddy-buddy/playful banter between Hal and Kyle could put some people off, but there were some nice constructs in the Nero battle and there's a good set-up for this 'plan' the Guardians have for Kyle. Some attention was also paid to how ridiculously powerful Ion is. Not a bad book at all.

I'm interested in how the thing with the Thanagarian bounty hunter that Kyle tangled with earlier in the mini plays out. We got a little tease of the fallout today.

Awesome issue. The Kyle + Hal v Nero fight was badass! :up:

It was more of a, "Hal tried to attack Nero and got hit in the mouth and Kyle came in and wiped the floor with Nero", than a Hal and Kyle team up. LOL But I also hate Hal.
 
good issue...we are now getting somewhere with the story unlike the first 3 issues..i will be reading the next issue :)

EDIt: unlime
 
I thought the last issue was terrific and so much fun.

Basically a huge fight, but it was cool as hell to see Kyle assert himself over Nero. A little showing of how powerful Kyle has become.

Ron Marz just writes such a good Kyle and the character is so much more interesting than Hal.

I even like Hal in this issue, Hal through Kyle's eyes is a better character than Hal through his own.
