The All About Comics Thread 4: Gemini Loves Crappy Variant Covers

Yeah, Bachalo has been kicking ass lately.

I thought the new costume was awful. He had a perfectly good one already.

Was that Steve Rogers at the end?

You'll never guess IGN's #1 in a million years

it's a good cover, but I dunno, it doesn't deserve #1 status

Yeah, I love Skottie Young, but it came out of nowhere.

I thought the same about the other list's #1 too though.
 
I am shocked by the number one on the list VVD linked

shocked

it was a decent cover, but it wasn't even the best Nova cover of the year let alone best cover of the year

Yeah...I can't understand their logic.

It's a decent cover, but not the best of the year. Very pop-influenced take on the old recruiter posters.

I'm not a fan at all but I thought he did exceptionally well with his more recent Amazing Spider-Man work.

I guess my only real complaint with him is how he draws faces and noses. Every person he draws looks like Karl Malden. It looks like he's gotten better though.

Funny.

I always thought he drew faces/noses to make everyone look like The Shadow.

I will agree with the Top 3.

Jim Lee, as antiquated as his style is, has consistently been working and producing great work for well over a decade now.

Bagley is practically in the same category. Save for his 2 final lackluster years on USM, he had producing quality stuff.....CONSISTENTLY!

I think the Turner ranking has a lot to do with memorium.

Other than that, I can't find any fault with the rest of the list.
 
I would remove Loeb, JMS, Jenkins and Meltzer and replace them with BKV, Ennis, Ellis and Kirkman.

And I would put Quitely, JHW3, Jae Lee and JG Jones on the artists list somehow.
