Old Man Logan is a good book. It's an alternate reality story which is a nice change. The thing that makes Logan a pacifist and kills Wolverine is kind of heartbreaking though.
So I'm going to check out PA now because of you, I read Wolverine 73, enjoyed it, but never thought about it that deeply. If in two panels, a writer can make years of overexposure make sense, shit I may have to take another look at reading Wolverine again. Or not...
Oh, and I won't buy Wolverine on DVD. I may see it again, but in no way will Fox gain profit from me. *too lazy to comment per video*
I think Nkerklaan has a point in that Vertigo does have a "house style", I notice it in the colouring and lettering especially.
I started picking up the Fables crossover as I'd been hearing a lot of good things about it (and it is good but maybe not great) but reading all 3 comics (Fables, Jack and Literals) I could have sworn it could have been a vertigo book from 1994 or something. The inking, colouring and lettering seem so similar to how they were 15 years ago.
Objectively, JRJR's art is, at the very least, technically proficient and clearly done with a lot of skill. You can harp on what you don't like about it, for whatever reason you want (and he's by no means my favourite artist, either, though I do like him), but to say it requires absolutely no skill and you or some random deviantart person could do better is a statement made in clear ignorance of both JRJR's own skill and what goes into comic book art in general.
Okay???? o_O I know I can like or dislike whatever I choose, but why is it clear I don't know what I'm talking about?
All his characters resemble sqaure-faced cardboard cut outs and lack any refinement or attention to detail. Their are people on deviant art who put him to shame.

Listen, you like JRJR and thats cool. But its an appeal I will probably never understand and never care for.

Yeah, obviously we can't have this argument because you're not even willing to give the other side any credence whatsoever.

Its not ignorance. Its the truth. Compared to some of the artists on deviant art, JRJR artistry is absolute sh*t.
