Keeping it (un)real
Scans Daily (where I crib a lot of page scans from) featured the cover below and Occasional Superheroine had some fun with it on Friday:
The thing is...and I hate to admit this...I kind of like it in the same way that I kind of like most of Rob Liefeld's art.
It's almost without any redeeming qualities at all...almost. It's not anatomically correct and just look at Diehard and Badrock - terrible, terrible character designs.
And yet...it's fun. Like a lot of Liefeld's stuff, it's fun. He may not be the greatest storyteller out there but he does have a certain sense of design in his interior pages that I find appealing. It's like he's having fun in spite of everything else. And I like it.
Oh, and I caved and picked up the first issue of the relaunched Youngblood by Joe Casey and Derec Donovan - not groundbreaking but a good read and a lot packed into it. Fun stuff, not deep - but fun.
There's that word again.
