Green Lantern Sales Numbers

Isn't about time Superman had a writer the caliber of Snyder?

DC only has 2 other writers at that level. One can't handle monthlies and the other is limited to one book per month.

Compared to Marvel their Top Writer cupboard is pretty bare.

Lee is a no brainer imo.

Not when you factor in everything else on his plate.

I meant Lee's a no-brainer for me (sales wise) if he ever stepped back up the plate. I know it's highly unlikely.

I must be alone on this but...not a fan of Lee's art at all. Cluttered chickenscratch. It doesn't look attractive to me. I'd take a Darwin Cooke over Lee ANY day of the week.

While I don't dislike Lee as much as you do, I agree that there are a ton of artists I'd take over him: Darwyn Cooke, J.H. Williams III, Frank Quitely etc. etc.

Frank Quitely's work is awesome. Absolutely love it.

It's simple...yet complex. Less when needed, but detailed too. He has wonderful layouts that are very cinematic. You could use many of his pages to storyboard movies with. Big ideas and great storytelling at the same time. Very different from other guys' stuff on the racks and stands out for that. He does pages that just look like iconic moments people will remember years from now just because of how he did them.

I like his stuff, but I can understand why some wouldn't. All the lines can make the faces off-putting.

It's rather like the fact that I recognize the detail to Mahnke's work, but I can't stand his human people, the women most of all.

There is a quality to his linework that is almost...childlike? Whimsical? I don't know how to say it, but the way the lines he uses to draw people has a simple, thick look to it. Like his art would be great in children's books. I love his style on faces, he is so different that his work is immediately recognizable. There are many areas where he is smart enough to put NO detail and let the colorist do their job. And others where it makes sense to add a lot more detail. I think he has a good sense of when to do both.

I don't care for FQ's art. Everyone has mushy faces and half of them look the same. Giving Superman a cape that barely goes past his ass looks horrible too, like he couldn't find a standard sized adult cape so he grabbed this one from a kid's costume store... and in the pic above Superman's Adam's apple is literally the size of an apple. WTF?!?

Puts me in the mind of Alex Ross' artwork. Everyone generally has a similar older looking face and some details like the cape are used JUST to make it different. At least he gives Superman a regular length cape though...

Where's Omega Men rank?

[Hypo Lil' Leaguer Find all posts View Profile Close Hypo]

If there had been an issue of Omega Men in Feburary and it hypothetically had the same drop off it did in January it would've been #198 overall.
