    It’s bollocks. The episode was terrible.

    I just don't get it... http://whatculture.com/tv/doctor-who-why-jodie-whittakers-doctor-is-already-perfect?rf=homepage http://whatculture.com/tv/doctor-who-series-11-8-ups-2-downs-from-the-woman-who-fell-to-earth?rf=homepage I clearly wasn't watching the same show.

    You should. It's brilliant.
  4. Ken Aldred
    This is my favourite.

    That sounds more like Southern US dialect to me. Nowt like Northern English.

    One of the most consistent episodes of Doctor Who I’ve ever seen. Absolutely, utterly tedious from beginning to end.

    I still don't agree with an embittered generalisation being imposed, by him or any other like-minded creator. We're not all that way inclined.

    His interior artwork for this storyline is very patchy. He puts a lot of effort into drawing the symbiote detail in Carnage, but otherwise it's quite basic at this stage in his career. Decent enough cover, though.

    Posted that earlier. My favourite Adam Hughes cover.

    I’ve done quite a bit of enthusing about his Silver Age work, especially the material inked by George Klein, and Kurt Schaffenberger’s art as well.

    As a down-to-earth, blue-collar Brit, it's something which always irritated me. Snobbish and pretentious.

    Indies I’ve enjoyed... Black Science Tokyo Ghost Velvet Invincible Jupiter’s Legacy Saga Casanova Paper Girls Lazarus Fatale Sex Criminals The Wicked and the Divine I Kill Giants Descender A few quality Image titles to start with.

    One problem I have with McFarlane and Liefeld's art is that the eyes very often look misplaced or the faces too flattened, almost as if they didn't learn how to draw human heads competently. I did like McFarlane's art initially, but eventually this stylistic tendency started to annoy me.
  14. Ken Aldred
    Perhaps influenced Rob Liefeld's numerous shouty expressions in his artwork, although, of course, I prefer Buscema.

    Beautiful book. Loved the striking blue of the cover. Likely to be the most expensive GA key I ever get to look at in hand.

    Yup. I remember liking the Strontium Dog stories right from the outset in the first issue of Starlord. Sad news about one of British comics’ most revered creators.

    The type of cover you like wouldn’t work these days, kav, such as the very common SA design with arrows pointing all over the place... ’Must-have issue !!!!’ ’Next to nothing happens !!!!’ ‘Senses-Shattering Decompression !!!! ‘
  18. Ken Aldred
    Yup. The one I chose was actually written about the character. I suspected that when I bought the album in the early 90s, but didn’t bother confirming it until the advent of Wikipedia, while reading some band discographies.

    If someone's never heard of Bernard Krigstein or read the story in Impact 1, it's a fairly innocent comment to make. Being a big EC fan, yes, Krigstein was a brilliant artist, and contributed the very influential congruent panel cut-up technique to the comic art medium. Possibly it had been employed before his time, but never with quite his level of virtuosity.

    Nice to see a few more Richard Corben fans.
  21. Ken Aldred
    One of my favourite artists during the 80s and 90s. Loved his work on Batman, although I have most of his books from Metaphysique through to Prime. Saddening.
  22. Ken Aldred
    Pretty much a comprehensive list of inkers there that made many mid-70s DCs a chore to read and boring even to look at.
  23. Ken Aldred
    That’s why I thought it didn’t work well with Arthur Adams, as it produces a heavy softening and shading effect which overwhelmed his pencils.
