Comics The Ultimate X-MEN Thread

Well, they both looked like they were about 7 years old. I'm really not impressed with the art of late.

 

[Specter313]

The current art is a helluva lot better than Immonen though, that's for sure. I almost dropped the title cause of him and I'm not picking up Nextwave because of him either. Sorry, he ranks right up there with Bachalo of artist's work I currrently hate.

 

[Chamber_UK]

Thankyou!!!!!!!!!! I hated Immonen as well reason's as follows...

-He made Wolverine look like a moody old prune.
-He made Northstar look like some Brian Molko wannabe
-He made Mystique looks like some crappy Bladerunner wannabe
-Scarlet Witch almost looked like a man (not unlike Northstar) at times.

And thats just the start of it.

Immonen was great on this book and his style was very flashy and dynamic.If you guys dropped the book because of Immonen but are picking it up now,you guys are missing out.From interviews,it seems as if Kirkman is doing nothing but stalling for Singer,there isn't going to be a whole lot going on.I'm glad I dropped this book.

Oh, please, Immonen was terrible. He basically ruined Dazzler's look, and he all around couldn't draw females for squat. Especially their hair. The first time Polaris used her powers in the Magnetic North arc, it looked like someone dropped a big green hershey's kiss on her head.

 

[Chamber_UK]

i agree he can't draw women, he seems to make them look like anorexic men on crack, especially the dark haired ones.

The worst art was the last issue of the world tour arc.

I don't think its to bad right now its had worse.

I can't believe what I'm hearing. Stuart Immonen has been one of comics' greatest treasure for years. He has always done gorgeous art for both DC and Marvel and represents the height of talent.

 

[Ratcrawler]

I always thought Immomen's art was great because it was so rediculously cartoony compared to most of what you see today. Same with Bachalo and Humberto Ramos.

no I think the worst art so far was those two issue from the phinox arc, I couldnt stand the whole animeish look to it.:

 

[Chamber_UK]

I loved the art of Ultimate X-men right at the begining, esepecially when Kitty joined the team. It was just the right amount of cartoony, edgey, and detailed. However wouldn't mind the art taking a bit more of a darker grittier turn for a change, like when Generation X first started out...before it went WAY TOO animeish and cartoony.

ya i kno i loved immonem's art! each issue of his was awesome! i personally think some of issue 66's art isnt that good (some of the eyes look weird) but im just waiting until further issues

 

[squeekness]

Immonem's art didn't bother me, but Finch is definately better. I like my art to be much more detailed.

Ahh cmon Squeek!Finch couldn't draw 6 facial expressions if his life depended on it!All his men are on steroids and have the most wrinkly brows and eyes.SUre his detail his awesome,but he reminds me of Jim Lee.Draws real awesome stuff but the emotion and the feelings of that characters are missing.

 

[Superman \S/]

I just want to see more Angel.

I totally agree with your comments on Finch's art, but I don't even think the supposed detail is any good. What makes it detailed? The superfluous lines he throws onto every figure? That's not detail...It's just pencil mileage.

Unecessary lines don't equal an attention to detail. Look at Josh Middleton. His art features some of the fewest lines of any artist, but his detail is unparalleled.

 

[Rogue2006]

When does the next one come out?

True,way too many lines here and there.

Has the next issue come out yet? The part 2 of the dance story arc.

 

[livrule]

Get Adam Kubert back ....

He has been floating for a while now and should return home.

Both the Kubert boys are signed at DC now, so no chance in Adam returning anytime soon.

Yes, It came out on Wednesday and was quite good. *squeekness won't give anything away*

It was good, but I'm not sure if I like where some plot specifics are going, like

Spoiler

Sabertooth being Wolverine's son, oy

 

[GNR]

Same here.I was onboard with BKV,but all this stuff lately with the Wolvie/Sabes rel'p and this Shiar Church of Enlightenment nonsense,it just seems as if they're trying way to hard to shock us with these lame uninspired "surprises".

BKV really travelled new ground,which was why ppl loved UXM.

• Sinister,a delusional killer.
• Fenris,actually cool without the 80s looking outfits handing the X-Men their arses,while losing Wolverine and Rogue in the process.
• Longshot,badass and a murderer.
• Deathstrike being linked to Storm,not Wolvie.
• An epic storyling seeing Polaris,Havok,and Magneto playing integral roles for once.

This was all very fresh,new and exciting stuff.But 2 issues in,Kirkman only seems to be treading nothing but old water.

Basically my thoughts on UXM since BKV left.
