| My brain saw it away. I remember seeing it for sale new back then in a comic book store I was in, I didn’t collect back then. Now I am gonna pick one up! |

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

| So I know I'm probably the only one, but I HATE Frank Miller's art. I think it's sloppy, childish, lazy art and disrespectful to the medium. I also cannot STAND looking at this cover because my OCD takes over and can't get over the "split cape" , which NEVER has been a thing - ever. WHY did he split that cape? You look in the book and there's nothing about it being ripped up the middle ... just ... drives me crazy. But forget the cape, his art just sucks (to me) and I can name a dozen artists I'd take that SAME story and have them re-do and it would just make it all better. I'm not trolling, I know will probably get a lot of "you are an idiot" but I can't help it, I just cannot stand Frank Miller's style. That being said I can't draw a straight line without a ruler, but I know what I like.  |

| @dfoster43 Nothing wrong with having an opinion that goes against the 'norm.' I appreciate Frank Miller's art and I see the genius, and I think his early art is spectacular, but I've been less thrilled with his art lately. It's just not to my personal tastes. Remember that cover he did for Detective #1000? It's kinda ugly, IMHO. | ||

@dfoster43  @Byrdibyrd I loved his earlier works, but since 1999, I feel the quality has gone down. If he was doing zombies, it would be understandable. It might be a style thing. |

Quote:Originally Posted by jake Ah THANK you for that, this is not Jim Lee LOL But yeah, okay this EXACTLY illustrates my point. It's childish scrawling garbage. It's like the worst single-story panels of 2000AD from the 80's ... just amateurish. Maybe that style is supposed to be "edgy and punky and cool" but ... nah. It's not for me. |

Quote:Originally Posted by dfoster43 I totally get where you're coming from. While I may not dislike his art as much as you do....I'm certainly nowhere near the fan that many are. I like his earlier work but his art definitely changed for the worse at some point. Sloppy is how I'd describe his art beyond a certain point in time. |

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC Yeah, pretty much sums it up for me, too. I have mad respect for the guy, but his art has stylised to a point now where I'm just not getting it. |

 Wait, he's not doing a Moon Knight jump with the blue silhouette of a building blocking part of his cape? |

Quote:Originally Posted by dfoster43 His work on DD was how I first discovered Frank Miller. Just amazing stuff. Then he started writing the book, too, and it got better. At the time, it was easily one of the best books out there. I started losing interest around the first sequel to Dark Knight. I saw the first DKR as an evolution of his style, and that was great, even though I did prefer his older work. Still fantastic. It was some time after that I noticed that I just wasn't seeing it the same way anymore. Like @dfoster43 says, he may just be showing his age. |
