Chuck Dixon's 2004 Richard Dragon series was lousy, to be sure, but it definitely had one thing going for it. Scott McDaniel's art, while no one is accusing it of being pretty, has an energy and flow that fit the series like a glove and made every fight a joy to read.
As evidence, I bring you the climactic clash between Richard and Lady Shiva.






Thoughts?

Date: 2009-08-30 05:02 am (UTC)I was scrolling down the pages (I skipped the first paragraph, lol) and kept thinking to myself, "Oh, I hope this is Scott McDaniel, it looks like his work, please let it be him, oh please oh please..." then I saw the tags and I was oh so happy to find out I was right.
There should be a Scott McDaniel Week! And a Jim Lee Week, a Don Kramer Week, an Ethan van Sciver Week, an Andy Kubert Week, a Frank Quitely Week, and so forth... :)

Date: 2009-08-30 09:58 am (UTC)Pretty much glad recent issues during the reboot put the whole series into Non-con. Then again a lot of staff in the series even before the reboot contridicted a lot of previous history.
Shrugs.
Still no harm no foul now.

I don't think it's too horrible, just that it's a style that would, imo anyway, work a lot better in animation than comics. It's flowing but to an extreme that looks weird and broken when looked in a medium that requires movement to be shown in a still frame.
