sorry if you worked on it :p didn't mean to offent, I was just very very disapointed.

You didn't offend, I was just opening up a bit of discussion. I love discussion of comics and how they have changed and how some writers work wonders on some characters and not on others.

My post was to show a differing point of view.

 

@d21lewis

I'd recommend the Captain Britain TPB but that's obvious. Other then that, as mentioned, Fables is good. Walking dead is excellent.

If you haven't read it and can get your hands on it, Top Ten is good too.



Hmm, pie.

LOL! Being a comic fan of the early 90's I remember Rob Liefeld's art as the difinitive style all comics seemed to have back then. He even still does books like Deadpool on occasion despite not being able to draw worth a crap!

Just bought Maus, heard good things about it so I hope I like it.



This thread made me realize that I am like 5 years behind on G.I. Joe comics!

 

for anyone that reads them how do the IDW books stack up gainst the Devil's due ones?  I liked the first DEvil's Due books that Josh Blaylock did, them America's Elite was kind of crappy.

Maus is really good, great way for someone to do a Holocaust memoir, and just as bleak.  let everyone know what you thought when its done.

I'm actually liking the Deadpool Corps. Liefeld seems to to have refined his work and the story is sufficiently absurd enough to be worthy of an Asgardian belly laugh. (They punked The Champion [is it wrong to hate him?] as bad as Thanos did, maybe worse. It was spectacularly hilarious) [Spoiler?]  (OH $#!*)

Oh yeah, he has definitely gotten better, and he is better at meeting deadlines which is a BIG plus.  he still hides feet and such but in the age of digital comics a lot of the stuff he did that flew back in the day doesn't.  I'm not a Liefeld hater at all, but love to poke fun at his grimmacing muscle guys covered in pouches characters he used to do.  Mike Mignola (of hellboy fame) even did an awesome parody of this style for DC once:
