    I think he was supposed to do all, then it went from that to calling other artists to draw the thing at like five in the morning on Christmas.

    Guys, are you sure Greg Land has ever drawn anything decent by himself?

    Because I don't think drawing=tracing. Tracing is much, much easier, isn't it? You just need a steady hand and a good eye, don't you?

    Also, according to this wikipedia article on Greg Land
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Land#_note-gutter
    It says that he worked for 10 years at screen printing company.

    If you're familiar with screen printing, it might explain some things.

    He was probably the guy who made stencils.

    I would say that more of New X-Men was done by Not Frank Quietly than by Frank Quietly.

    He's obviously so busy writing ASB&R. You know when your comic is passed by Frank Quitely something is wrong.

    Although I guess he might be busy with that 300 movie. Maybe.

    Jim Lee said that the delays on the book are his fault, I guess.

    Huh. I already didn't like his work just because every character seems to have an expression yanked from Gary's mod, but now I have even more reason to not like it.

    remember that Half Life 2 webcomic starring Gordon Frohman?

    Good stuff.

    I'm imagining Greg Land starring in a variation of the tracer scene from Chasing Amy. Someone needs to find him at a convention and make it happen.

    If i see him at a convention I'll ask him for an autograph. Or specifically i'll bring a print out of his own signature and tell him that he can just trace over it. :)

    Land is hopefully screwed. lol late to page one

    This is certainly a good move on Marvel's part. Perhaps it will encourage creativity.

    Hey hugh

    frank quitely is rad

    everything is straight out of his mind

    the only rough spot is his faces, and he seems to be improving on that.

    Yeah, Frank Quitely's faces bug me a lot. Except for Clark Kent in that last issue of All Star Superman. That was perfect

    I also hate the soft shading that's usually used with his art

    It's easy to talk the big talk on the intertron machine, but if you ever met him at a convention you'd be more likely to quietly skulk away than insult him.
    And if you are somehow socially inept enough to actually go through with it he'd be in the right to kick your stupid ass.

    Rob Liefield is actually a really nice dude.
    He's the guy everyone seems to love ripping on, but I've never seen him be anything but stellar with fans.

    Also, everyone saying "I would tell off creator X" is both a liar, and a shit.

    Awesome! I enjoy being bombastic from time to time, both "IRL" and on the net.

    I might take a Liefield sketch, if it was for free. Then, I would sell it some moron for as much money as I could get and go buy some good comics.

    Why does everybody think I hate Quietly? He is on the shortlist for my favorite artists!

    I'm just saying he's slow as mole asses.

    Also on the list is JH Williams because ohmygoshsevensoldiersissueone

    Oh, ok. Was the Morrison-Quitely team-up for X-men as awesome as it was for We3? That book has some of the most amazing panels and layouts I have ever seen. Especially the stuff with Tinker moving really fast.

    Man, that was a lot of hyphens!

    It's a lot more straight-ahead, panel structure-wise. The art is awesome and weird and neat, but Quietly got really behind so there's not very much of it. New X-Men is fantastic, definitely a high-point for both Morrison and the X-Men in general.

    edit: on his 2002 year-in-review, the X-Axis guy says that of the fifteen New X-Men issues he reviewed in 2002, only four of them were drawn by Quietly.

    All-Star Superman has some really nice panel layouts. I'd say that's Quitely's continuation of experimentation into the formal qualities of comics.
