William Messner-Loebs was a really, really fun writer, you guys. (Christmas with the Super-Heroes #2, 1989.)
Mmhmm. Mmhmm. Spectacular
Remember in the late 1980s, when “superheroes act like regular people, but we don’t mean that in the sense of ‘everyone is depressed’” was a thing at DC Comics? I do. (Christmas with the Super-Heroes #2, 1989) – Graeme
Also changed between the serialized release of Infinite Crisis #7 (2006) and the collected edition (2008) – this climactic double page spread showing the One Year Later DC Universe, which not only got busier, but even changed artists entirely from Joe Bennett to George Perez – Graeme
Top: How pages 2 and 3 of Infinite Crisis #7 appeared when the issue was released in 2006. Bottom: How those same pages appeared in the collected edition in 2008, when the deadline pressure was off and they had time to fully ink and color Phil Jimenez’s pencils – Graeme
What if there’s a way to make Mega-City One a better place that isn’t just hitting and shooting things? (2000 AD Prog 2201, 2020, by Rob Williams, Arthur Wyatt, and Boo Cook) – Graeme
Defund the Justice Department. (2000 AD Prog 2200, 2020, by Rob Williams, Arthur Wyatt, and Boo Cook) – Graeme
Jeff talks about this on Drokk!, but these two pages in “Mechanismo” one after another is a really great one-two punch – Graeme
New Drokk! and shownotes up on the main site, for those who need a little bit of dystopian future policing to accompany their Mondays – Graeme
What a difference 25 or so years make – top image is Greg Staples art from 1992, courtesy of Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files Vol. 18, and the bottom is Staples from 2015, in Judge Dredd: Dark Justice. Now you get what I mean when I talk about artists evolving over time…! – Graeme
I said this on Twitter earlier today, but these pages from Represent! #1, DC’s new digital-first series, feel particularly welcome and somewhat important. Why isn’t Marvel doing something like this? (Oh, that’s right; Marvel has a Donald Trump supporter in charge.) – Graeme
