Comics Sensational Spider-Man #26 Preview

[spahn]

looks great. i agree with wolvie2020, why change artist mid-arc? either way, i like the new art and hopefully they can stay on for more than a few issues.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

I've been getting really impressed with his stuff on MK4. Started off a little dull, but he's really shaped it into being a great book. Anyone know what other comics he worked on b4? I'd be really interested to find out!

I agree. The past year or so of MK4 was excellent.

Unfortunately, if there's nothing to complain about, then no one apparently cares.

Aloha,
I've been getting that feeling around here for over ayear now.
Spidey rules

"I hope we have a writer come along whose favorite character is The Spot, so we can see The Spot beat up someone like Venom or Sandman."

The funny thing is, I'd do exactly that.

"Unfortunately, if there's nothing to complain about, then no one apparently cares."

Yeah. The problem is, it's easier to complain than praise. There's not much discussion with praising, just some agreeing until the topic moves on. But a problem can be debated or discussed.

But Marvel Knights Fantastic Four was totally kick ass. It's a real shame it's ending. (Can anyone explain to me why they felt the need to change the title to "4" instead of "MK4" when they knew there'd only be three issues left? I can understand wanting to really define what a "MK" comic is, but with only three issues left...)

Clayton Crain does a good job again here, wonder how long it takes him to do a whole book..
Looking forward to this even tho my fav component from the title- Medina's pencils have now left.
Best Spidey book right now.

 

[The Venomator]

yeah amazing artwork, im glad ts crains artwork although i would like to see more of medina's

 

[Captivated]

I liked Angel Medina's artwork too. Too bad he is done. Still, I'm glad that Craine is taking care of the rest of the arc. (Beats the hell out of Pat Lee.)

Medina's done? As in, gone for good?

*crosses fingers*

I just want to know when I can start my snoopy dance!

 

[Dangerous]

I just don get it when some fans don appreciate good art and prefer crap art like Bags.

 

[Dangerous]

Dammit, I get tired of waiting for this book to come out it takes to long!

Yeah, this is one Spidey book I look forward to getting. Good read, great artwork. I mean, it's the best Spidey book out there right now (which isn't saying much at all), but it's also just a GOOD book. That's all I've been wanting for about a year now.

One good series doesn't buck a trend.

But you're still right. I know I've spent more time carping than praising on this board, and I have read a good comic a time or two.

Maybe I should seek out some different horizons. just to get my "good feeling" about Super Hero comics back

Read Daredevil.....that book makes me proud to be a fan of superhero comics!! Brubaker and Lark rule.

Cullen: What Shin said.....and Punisher Max has been consistently strong as well

Hell yeah....those two books, along with Ultimates 2 make up my top three comics right now.

 

[Norman Osborn]

Hmmm... I have to go

1/ Daredevil
2/ Punisher
3/ Ultimate Spider-man (Although for me, DeadPool was a little more miss than hit)

...I think I've had a different #3 for the past 6 consecutive months .....but the top 2 never change

Yeah, I love Ultimate Spidey, too....it just doesn't have quite the punch for me that Ultimates does. The only thing that really keeps Ultimates out of the top spot for me is the infrequency with which it ships. I mean, I don't mind a book being a little late every once in awhile, but 2 and 3 months late is too much.

Of course, every time I get an issue, I immediately forgive Hitch and Millar, but I stay pretty steamed until I get it in my hands!!

 

[CConn]

Personally, I haven't liked this past arc of Punisher at all. Maybe it's just the art weighing it down, I dunno. Daredevil is excellent, though. I was like the only person in the world who wasn't insanely crazy about Bendis' run, but Brubaker's been fantastic so far.

And I'm having a go as well...

1. Nextwave
2. Runaways
3. Superman/Action Comics

The best comics out there are the ones no one reads.

 

[Dangerous]

My fave books now are-

1-Dead Girl
2-Punisher Max
3-100 Bullets

 

[Venom Drool]

i was gonna drop this book if they stuck with medina. it was vomit inducing. this knd of art doesn't help things though... it works best with minis as opposed to ongoings... for some reason.. it kinda makes my head ache... almost as bad as medina' rendition of anything aside from the lizard.

HA! Glad to know I'm not the ONLY one who finds Medina more disgusting than intriging. Let him take his "great talent" and go gross up some other character's book.

This art... I will have to see... although from the August previews we know it IS short-lived. Unfortunatley Medina returns. Yuck.

If the stories are the tiniest bit slow or dull, Medina's art is going to be a deal killer for me. Kinda like... whats-his-name... Ramos. Double yuck.

 

[Venom Drool]

id take ramos' art over medina's. i dont know which way to look when staring at medina's work. at least ramos hasa dark appeal to things..

 

[Dangerous]

You guys would'nt know cool pencils if they bit you on the ass.
Both Medina and Ramos are some of the spikey-ist artists on Spidey is the noughties.

 

[shinlyle]

I have a few qualms with Medina's artwork, mainly his women, but, aside from that, I love his work. He has a very McFarlane-ish look to his work that I can't help but love.

All things being equal, I'd still rather have Clayton Crane, though. That man does some amazing art! His work on the Ghost Rider mini as well as the Venom Vs. Carnage mini, was awesome.

As fro Ramos....I like Ramos about 6-8 years ago. Over the last few years, his style has become too graffiti-influenced for my liking. I will admit that he has a very kinetic style, but I just can't get over some aspects of his artwork. His Aunt May was horrible, he draws hands with nub fingers.....little things.

As an artist, I respect Ramos a great deal, I just don't dig that particular style. Him, Skottie Young....just not my thing.

 

[Captivated]

I never said they weren't talented... they are.

So was Picasso... but I don't want him drawing Spider-Man either! Let me be more visual for those with limited art history...

Wow, it could be MJ and Peter!

Picasso, "Friendship."

10 to 1 my understanding and knowledge of art could run circles around yours. But in the end, you like what you like.
