This book looks gorgeous. I always lean more toward Mike's preferences, so ...call me an Indy snob all you want, I'm kinda proud! Not to say I don't like mainstream superhero books, I adore them, but not so much today. I'm an old schooler.
I finally read the first few pages of Asterios Polyp... OMG! George is right, this should be used as a text book in a comic book art .. or even an art class!! Mazzuchelli's understanding of the medium is CRAZY/insanely thorough! Artist's like him are the REASON EVERYONE should be reading/adding graphic novels and comics to their summer reading lists!
Great episode! I love David Mazzucchelli's art. I haven't read this comic yet, but I'll definitely pick it up. I don't know about being pretentious - shouldn't it be the job of the artist to bring new ways looking at an image? If David does that here in multiple forms & does it well, what is so pretentious about that? He's doing his job. People should be happy his work isn't humdrum, every day or dime a dozen like so many other artists tend to be these days.
I LOVED David Mazzucchelli's artstyle! Honestly, one of the best artists of all time; definitely my favorite artists. As soon as I come across a large amount of cash, Asterios will be in my hands. So, will this be the new setting for the next set of episodes?
