I think Munch is freaking out

I came a little when I saw that, but then felt dirty and used after I realized Chaykin had drawn it. .

I really, really do not like Chaykins art. Everything about it seems off. It makes me wonder why he keeps getting to draw things for like everybody.

It's keeping me from reading Hawkgirl. I haven't read it in three months because the art can be a distracting eyesore.

Here's some of the covers I liked that haven't popped up here yet. Pay close attention to the Flash and Ion ones.

Heel Before Dom!

I didn't know bobblehead dolls even fought crime.

A reappearance of the garbage truck model?

I can't believe she'd still be hauling dead dudes around.

::nods::Looks like she got a lot of fan support concidering how close to the end of the series we're getting.

So.. in these threads, are we supposed to follow the link and then just post the covers we like without explanation? Because a lot of the time I just page through these threads, and no one provides the titlles of the books, and then I'm all like: I don't know what the crap that is.

The way I see it, I (and anyone else who feels like it) posts up what they feel are the top covers for that month for speculation, agreement or derision. Plus if you're curious about one of the covers, you can follow the link to the solicits' page to see which comic it belongs to.

august · October 2006

Okay.

Adaemus1sf · October 2006

Oh man, Ron Marz, the Tangent heroes? Do we really need to see them again? 'Cause to be honest, they were mostly not very good. Not as bad as What if Stan Lee created the DC universe, but pretty bad.

Caveman Paws · October 2006

If Stan Lee created the DC universe the overall quality of the costumes would increase dramatically. That's just my split second, half-assed guess though.

I really enjoy the DC universe but the costumes of more than half the heroes are down right bad. They look like slightly better versions of the costumes I used to make as a kid out of kleenex boxes/cardboard, beach towels and tinfoil.

Adaemus1sf · October 2006

There was actually a series of one-shots called What if Stan Lee created....
and they were pretty terrible. The highlight was when Superman, on arriving on Earth, had to choose a human name and nearly ended up with Peter Parker.

Off the top of my head, the only bad DC costumes are Powergirl's butch phase and The Peacemaker's.

The Huntress' new slutty outfit, Guy Gardner, Aztek, Firestorm, etc.
Although I don't agree that putting Stan Lee in charge would have made the ratio any better.

Stan Lee wouldn't have had anything to do with Huntress' new outfit.

And Guy's is supposed to be bad. Why don't people get this?

edit: and man, Firestorm looks exactly like something Stan Lee would design

The hell is wrong with Guy's?

I mean, Kyle's old collar one, yes, but Guy?

The rest range from alright to downright awesome.

Toji Suzuhara · October 2006

Lightray has one of the worst costumes ever.

Both companies have terrible costumes. I mean, Firestar's mask? Seriously.

ViolentChemistry · October 2006

I still say Huntress' new costume is sweet. It's less "I'm a commando with a cape and a bandit-mask" and more "I'm a superheroine".

Man, I have to agree with Caveman here..if Stan Lee created everything it would be better...oh wait..he tried..

The Flash!

Superman! Who apparently is a movietheatre usher...

Wonder Woman..hurr powerglove!

And the rest of the gang! Get it? Bat-man?

Like some damn burning man costume rejects.

Right.

Superhero.

Furu · October 2006

Stan Lee's Superman has been known to frequent many Jedi Raves.

finalchowd · October 2006

I could be totally wrong on this, but did Stan Lee ever even design any costumes? I always figured that would be more the artist's job. I mean, I'm sure Lee gave some input into their creation, but wouldn't it be more accurate to say that Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby are mostly responsible for all the great marvel costumes? What with them being the artists and all?

Oh God, Stan Lee's Flash...... She's super-fast because her dad injected her with hummingbird DNA!

For my part, I could definitely get behind this Flash.

Shut up shut up shut up shut up you don't know what you're saying

Adaemus1sf · October 2006

But back to the point: the cover of Ion features the heroes from the Tangent comics gimick, which I remember being similar in execution (and quality) to the Stan Lee stuff. Was Tangent not that bad, and I'm just not remembering it? A lot of people seem excited about it in the wider internet. Are we already doing the nostaliga thing for mid- to late-90's stuff?

DMAC · October 2006

I remember the Tangent comics as a mixed bag, much like the Amalgam comics or the "What if Stan Lee had Created..." books. Some good, some not so good. They showed the Tangent universe Green Lantern's lantern washed up on a beach at the end of Infinite Crisis so they obviously have some sort of plan for the characters.

More info on Tangent from Wikipedia:

Terrorbyte · October 2006

The Tangent books pretty much sucked a dick save for Green Lantern.
