Unless I'm missing the gag, and he rendered Doc's anatomy all screwy as an homage to old pulp covers. And yeah, Phil Noto's the wrong choice. His art is pretty good, but too cutesy for something like this.JohnFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09339402431610031589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-4229029530983979392009-11-13T19:51:15.937-08:002009-11-13T19:51:15.937-08:00I was going to ask about SWORD, myself.
I gave it...<i>I was going to ask about SWORD, myself.</i><br /><br />I gave it a quick flip-through...the interior art looked very different and fun, and made the book seem completely different than Cassaday's cover did (Marvel's reeaaalllly got a do a better job matching contents and covers). <br /><br />I'm gonna keep an eye out for reviews and probably check it out in trade when it gets there. <br /><br /><i>The Batman/Doc Savage contained 40 story pages not counting the back matter, for what it's worth</i><br /><br />Thanks! You saved me counting.<br /><br /><i>...I don't think the Phil Noto artwork was a good match for Azzarello's script.</i><br /><br />Yeah, I like Noto in general, but he didn't seem right for the story. Like, something pulp-ier would have been better...or Morales himself, if he's doing the art for the final product too.Calebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01391759187396994380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-22275413943676484112009-11-13T09:06:19.440-08:002009-11-13T09:06:19.440-08:00The Batman/Doc Savage contained 40 story pages not...The Batman/Doc Savage contained 40 story pages not counting the back matter, for what it's worth. <br /><br />IMO, while it made me interested to check out the First Wave mini, I don't think the Phil Noto artwork was a good match for Azzarello's script.rjthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03904225634269036045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-22738361494517864362009-11-12T22:24:23.965-08:002009-11-12T22:24:23.965-08:00I was going to ask about SWORD, myself.

Quite good and it's the first comic in over a decade to have the good Death's Head. <br /><br />Which, you know, I figure might be worth mentioning considering your experience with the abomination that causes desolation.chiasaur11https://www.blogger.com/profile/14848393618682533604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-76828918060079603032009-11-12T20:22:09.975-08:002009-11-12T20:22:09.975-08:00Freddie Williams is but the second of that name.

Thanks, I'll fix it.<br /><br /><br /><i>I see you got a scanner.

Damn, I was interested to hear what you thought about it.

It felt really perfunctory, just going through the motions of the crossover, which is a shame since you'd think the Blue/Gold relationship could serve as the real backbone for this series. It felt rather taken for granted . . . like the feeling a lot of people, like Paul O'Brien, who pick up a DC comic for the first time get - that of getting the impression important things are going on, but not being given sufficient reason to care. This is the first time I felt that way, and the worst part is I actually understood everything.<br /><br />On the other hand, I bought the tie-in issue of R.E.B.E.L.S., which was my first of that series, and thought it had a pretty good hook.Hdefinedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14402669731760470459noreply@blogger.com
