scans_dailyIt's no secret that I'm not a fan of the current art team on BoP so I was really happy when I saw there's going to be a new main artist for the title. Starting December, Adrian Syaf takes over art duties and the result seems much more to my taste than Benes and co.

Hey that's it, maybe she's gatecrashing an underground unlicensed RHPS performance!

Date: 2010-09-20 10:12 pm (UTC)For reals though, this is awesome. I actually read BN Bats and thought how good the artist was.
But really, can we PLEASE get Nicola Scott back to working with Gail? (If she can handle two books at once, though. Her departure from Six makes me think she can't)

Date: 2010-09-21 12:11 am (UTC)Now look at the second page. There are four weapons visible, but none of the hands holding them are wearing fishnet gloves. Also, there is only one Bowie knife visible, but it now has a toothed back edge, and it is being held by someone wearing a spiked bracelet. Now, it's possible that there's a fifth punk-rocker off-panel on page one; that could be his shoulder and arm between Bab's front-right wheel and baldy, but why not make it a little clearer? Also, where did those teeth on the knife come from? And why did spiked-mohawk and eye-tat switch weapons?
Besides, it seems like the punk rockers must all be standing in some very awkward group pose for all their weapons to be arranged that way.

Oh that's right, because Ollie pissed off Dinah and I need to get the god damn ice cream to calm her down while he gets flowers. I'm so glad I'm friends with some douchebag who lives in a romantic comedy. Maybe I'll be lucky and end up fucking Jonah Hill of something. This is worse than the time Bruce went to Disney World."
~flash cut to the park being overrun by OMACs, Clark has his face in his hands while he stands next to Bruce~
"In my defense, Mickey was acting like a real prick."
"Bruce we really need to have a discussion of proper use of your spy satellite. We're having a house meeting. Oh and you are coming, Hal's still pissed you ate the peanut butter with your hand out of the jar."
THIS IS THE STORY (Clark) Of five people (Hal) picked to live in a satellite (Dinah) and who agreed to have their lives taped. (Ollie) To show what happens when heroes stop being nice (Bruce) My parent's are dead. (Clark) God fucking dammit Bruce. The Real World: JLA.
"Hey kids. Uh....nice outfits. I liked Revenge of the Living Dead too. So could you guys point me in the direction of the nears ice cream shop? I need ice cream to solve a very stupid problem with very stupid people in this very stupid city. Hopefully a way that takes me there where I won't get jumped."
"You think that's a chair? ~whips out knife~ THIS is a chair!"

Date: 2010-09-21 06:42 am (UTC)Yeah, how come we never got an awesome mohawked punk anti-hero type? (Because I never found an artist for the script back in the Nineties? Surely I'm not the only one responsible.) Constantine almost counts, and there's the guy from Ninja Turtles, but that's all I can think of.
...omg duh Tank Girl. Excuse me while I go beat myself up for not thinking of that right away.
