I have been away from comics, but I feel Land is looked down upon? I do however, think this Man-Thing looks pretty neat:

It's kind of the same thing that made me like Land a little eight months back. The end product overall looks really nice in some respects with nice clean lines and gorgeous colouring. What you have to understand is that often that's nothing to do with Land: he does the pencil art, and other people ink it and colour it. Pretty reflections on Cyclops' visor or whatever aren't his responsibility.
What you do begin to understand is that Land traces everything. There's tons of comparative proofs out there. Very little of his pencilling is more than drawing an outline over a piece of film stock or another artist's work. He reuses the same pieces again and again, to the point where I was reading the issue of Uncanny X-Men from May and noticing the same faces he had used in an Uncanny issue four months previous.
Most problematically, he uses porn a ton for tracing, especially for women; and only makes the barest effort to cover it up. It's horrifically objectifying, and is possibly the worst thing going for women in comics.
So, that Man-Thing, although it works well, was probably copied whole or part from something and then gussied up.
Which issues have D-man in them? I want to get familiar with the best Avenger.
He's in quite a few Captain America issues from the 80's, around the 330-350 range (he first shows up in Cap 328 as D-Man). He went from sidekick to homeless hero who protected the weak:
I hate than Bendis panel of D-Man. It's making a total joke of the D-Man story from the Pulse, one of the best comics I've read dealing with mental illness. I know they were both written by Bendis, but the Avenger's appearances of D-Man just seem mean spirited after The Pulse.

Anyways, here's a cooler D-Man scene:
I'm sorry,
I know D-man was in that comic,
But Luke Cage has the best hat
Also Hawkeye hit Iron Man with a watermelon seed!
And Ant-Man is bringing a plate of food to the anthill, man the background is loaded in this.
I wish after Spider-Men is over Miles could get some sort of transdimensional communicator and Pete could keep training him to be a better Spider-Man, teach him everything he wish someone had taught him back then. I just really like the idea of Pete with a sidekick and as a mentor figure - I thought having him be a high school teacher was also a great turn for the character.
i sort of wish that panel with miles's face did the old half mask thing from the 60s
Speaking of that, here's Blue Beetle, by Ming Doyle.
Jaime is a character that a lot of artists seem to struggle with drawing, but I love Doyle's take. There's an organic quality to the way she draws the armor, that really works.

Edit: In all honesty, Land could write a great tutorial for the aspiring penciller...
I wish I could hate you to death.
Thing is one of the best characters and I love his design and how every artist draws him slightly differently
for reference the best Thing is Stuart Immonen
Awww yeah
dude is a fantastic artist

I'm really digging this cover, from Image's Planetoid.
Simple, design-y covers win me over every time.

Holy.
Shit.
Oh, and the fanart Ramon Villalobos did for it.

And then Bendis just made him plain crazy:

I'm shocked.

Edit: Mjolnir Croquet!
everyone kind of laughed at him but they guys like Cap and Jarvis, who know heroism when they see it, respect him greatly
Just love everything about this page.
Damian's like 8
hence why Peter is like, twice his size
It's a hard trick to pull off, but Pichelli did it well there.

yesssssssssss
It's a brilliant way to show off, say, monologues.

Adi Granov did a Captain Marvel variant cover.
