Oh yay, Land is back on Uncanny. He did, however, draw a pretty kick-ass Magneto in Ultimate Fantastic Four several years ago but he seemed to actually try back then unlike today.

[xdoop.insanejournal.com]

[jaybee3.insanejournal.com]

I think his Nightwing run showed that when he wasn't tracing porn, Land was a decent artist. First time I saw his work I was impressed, and then I started to notice that his Black Canary looked just like his Sue Storm who looked just like his Emma Frost. They were all the same exact woman with different hair styles.

I will say, though, when has to do characters he can't find on the web or in magazines he does a half-way decent job (but that's not often).

[squirle.insanejournal.com]

Nate Grey? Seriously?

[dorksidefiker.insanejournal.com]

What where huh?

[jcbaggee.insanejournal.com]

Honestly just figured he was dead or something, where's he been hiding lately?

[colonel_green.insanejournal.com]

Between these solicits and the ones for AXM, seems pretty clear that Emma is still with the group.

[hiratsu.insanejournal.com]

Nate Grey? Huh, cool. Might have to actually check that out.

Aren't we done with SB-Prime yet?

[coridan.insanejournal.com]

Being a huge fan of Nate, I am simultaneously thrilled and terrified that he's coming back - terrified because they may well screw him up even worse than Ellis did.

Oh, and Nate could break SP-Prime like a twig. That'd be a fight I'd pay to see.

Dear Matt Fraction:

Please get Magneto right.

Love, Rex

[zegim.insanejournal.com]

I want to co-sign this request.

[ian_karkull.insanejournal.com]

PYRO! Hell YES!

Missed ya, buddy.

[foxhack.insanejournal.com]

*sighs*

One day a new EIC will arrive at Marvel and Greg Land will be fired.

I keep telling myself that. But I just can't believe it anymore.

[scottyquick.insanejournal.com]

I'm actually loving it. I nearly bought a comic called "Dark Wolverine" until I saw it had a Land cover, instantly curing me of any desire I had to pay for it.

[scottyquick.insanejournal.com]

In Go! part 2, Kate Kane is outed and forced to leave West Point.

I approve!

and has a fateful encounter with The Dark Knight that will forever change her life!

I disapprove!

I'm glad Rucka's showing the negative effects DADT can have with Batwoman, but I'm worried her origin will involve a Brucespiration like he did with Helena.

[colonel_green.insanejournal.com]

I don't think it's a big stretch for "Batwoman" to have some inspiration from Batman.

[sandoz_iscariot.insanejournal.com]

...Where are Psylocke's legs?

[sinisterlink.insanejournal.com]

I'd say they dissapeared to the same dimension that the detail work on Emma's cape went to. That of course being the dimension of GregLand!Fail.

[bluejaybirdie.insanejournal.com]

Ooooh, a comic that deals with how awful DADT is. I like it. I'll have to read it, since I think I'm going to write an article on that for my school paper. ILU, Rucka.

But man, I hate the faux!Perez art on that Adventure Comics cover. It looks like someone tried to ape his style, and failed massively in the face.

[scottyquick.insanejournal.com]

But man, I hate the faux!Perez art on that Adventure Comics cover. It looks like someone tried to ape his style, and failed massively in the face.

That's exactly it! I sat there for a few minutes wondering wtf happened to Perez when the cover was first released.

[thokstar.insanejournal.com]

I realize that Terra is the most famous dead person associated to the Outsiders, but shouldn't they have more trouble arising from Katana, given that her sword tends to capture the souls of the people killed by it?

(Yes, I know Black Lanterns are weird. She should still have to deal with the bodies of the people trapped in sword.)

[midnightvoyager.insanejournal.com]

Magneto’s return has stunned the X-Men

And they are the ONLY ONES

[cityfumes.insanejournal.com]

They are ALWAYS stunned. Just STUNNED.

aauuggh wry?!

[sinisterlink.insanejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, is that Pyro? Pyro? PYRO? *dances* Oh, I know he'll probably just be ressurected and then killed again before the arc is over, but I can dream that he won't be...

[magnetic_regina.insanejournal.com]

I think it is him. I may have to buy it. Damn it Marvel! I don't wanna buy your comics.

[proteus_lives.insanejournal.com]

X-Force continues to have pretty covers.

[darkblade.insanejournal.com]

Whatever happened to Blackest Night being a Green Lantern centric event? It seems to be well everywhere.

[unknownscribler.insanejournal.com]

Kinda happens when you start resurrecting every dead cape on the face fo the planet.

[tahngarth.insanejournal.com]

Totally agree on the Mystique thing. At first I tried to figure out why there was a seam in her skin.

[sir_mikael.insanejournal.com]

Dark Beast! Mystique! Mimic! Nate! Some other dude I don't give a crap about! Written by Cornell and drawn by Kirk? This is indeed very relevant to my interests!

Didn't see the seem at first and just assumed Mystique was wearing something with uber-cleavage. Then again almost-her skin-colour part of her costume? It's a bit like Nigthcrawlers in that regard.

Addendum: Yay Pyro!
