”What do you think happens to your happy alliance when they see what has gone on in Section 82? You were personally involved in that.”
”No that problem has sorted itself out, as I thought it would. The population reached a critical level, and now it’s self-governing through cannibalism. Resources will remain stable now, recycling back into the system.
”Cannibalism is not an acceptable solution, I need functioning soldiers!”

I’m not sure if it’s the penciler or the colorist who put them in, but I am [bold]NOT[/bold] a fan of what they do to the characters’ looks. I think it is meant to be shine vs. dull, but it seems way too...contrived? Unnatural? I think that perhaps a more realistic use of shadow, or a texture could show this with much more effectiveness.

I dunno... part of me wants to yell out "HELP US GUIDO!" but the other part is just telling me to pipe down and give it a chance.
Prime Evil wrote:Man, all this gripe about artistic styles. I can tell A LOT of you weren't around in the early 90's when artist styles were NOT part of a house style. Sad that people can't appreciate different looks. I did NOT like Don's stuff, but never did I ever say he should change. I remember reading the X-Men's Xtinction Agenda and we had Jim Lee, Rob Liefeld, and Jon Bogdanove. The three artist could not be more different. And I read it for the STORY. I love Jim's work, getting used to Rob's and wasn't a fan of Jon's, but I still read it and loved the story.
I say to EJ, keep on doing what you're doing. It's so much easier for people to critic then do themselves. I know my friends in high school changed styles often due to the fact that they either got bored with a look or just wanted to progress their style.

I never said he needed to change, I just would like to know why they are making some of the choices they are.
If the story were really good, then we could probably forget the art, but it's not.
Who wrote the X-Men stuff? Claremont, or someone else, I can't remember.

I like to see a change in art often. I'd be happy for a new artist to take over every 3-4 issues now we have an ongoing.

I understand the whole BB thing. He went from a VW to a Camaro and back to VW again. Yeah, that's wrong and up to the editors to let the artist know crap like that.
I also do have the slight problem about the cerebro shells. I haven't read the issue yet, but apparently Bombshell is just now creating them? Is this correct? If so, then the editors need to go read IDW Blaster Spotlight that was out less then 2 years ago. C'mon people. It's not like you have 10+ years history going on.
And yeup, it was Claremont. During his gazillion year X-Men run. LOL!!
Prime Evil wrote:Well, I'm still looking forward to this issue as it's Decepticon centric. It's just the lil details of continuity that continue to distract from the overall story telling. I know for me at least, the art is not going to be a problem. I just wish I knew what the heck is up with the TF editor over there at IDW.

He quit as TF editor in order to do their new Dungeons and Dragons book, thus effectively ending whatever chance this thing had of staying consistent.
