  1. Well, since this thread immediately devolved into a bunch of sheep baah-ing the same tired, old criticisms and showing no appreciation or interest in actually discussing art, I'll actually answer the topic itself. I think this is his best piece ever: i have no issue discussing art, just waiting for the issue to be brought up
  2. there is no way i'd have paid but then again there is no way i'd have 7 Liefeld drawn books
  3. I understand that's what he said (I'm taking your word for it), but Art Adams isn't the first thing that comes to mind. It looks nothing like Adam's work. Greg Capullo's work on Spawn was basically a copy of McFarlane's style. There are a lot of artists who basically copy other's style. Liefeld's work is unique (or distinct or whatever you want to call it)...good or bad is preference. ***I'm not taking into account how he destroyed the comic book industry or how he shafted local comic shop owners (a subject I need to read up on)...strictly talking about his art work. I spoke with Greg about this a few years back and his response was "doesn't really matter who you are and what your style is, if Todd inks you, it ends up looking like Todd's style." (paraphrased by me - not Greg's actual words) Capullo's best work on Spawn was inked by Miki for me, he enhanced the drawings whereas McFarlane takes over
  4. that's if there is a future for this film and more characters is not what this franchise needs at all
  5. when he worked for Spawn he had Capullo doing his layouts and McFarlane inking...i struggle to see the point in hiring him
  6. around here this topic is akin to asking people what Hitler's greatest achievement was
  7. i've never read anything he's drawn to be fair, the art put me off and the storylines didn't seem essential enough that i should force myself to bare it i have very little respect for Rob Liefeld
  8. Chelsea getting the Bayern treatment tonight
  9. will Bayern get 5 goals in the second half?...is it damage control already or risk a huge scoreline?
  10. looks like they're doing their Justice League introduction movie in this one film
  11. i was back Monday after finishing Saturday morning
  12. The woes of despondent Man U fans must take precedence. its kind of a relief, we needed a manager who could guarantee success Mourinho would have been ideal, he demands performances and isn't scared to make big decisions Moyes wasn't in charge of Man Utd the last year, the players were In charge and lazy. They need a kick up their collective backside. that too, all this season i have referred back to the quote "I am more afraid of one hundred sheep led by a lion than one hundred lions led by a sheep."

  14. Moyes' tactics were all wrong for that match, either that or the players weren't sticking to the gameplan in his post match interview he addressed the right problems, makes you think it's the players not working in the system be good to see who he brings into the team, Buttner was woeful today but he got little help in terms of tracking back Everton did everything right
  15. i wait till trades, it comes out next month i'm enjoying the Snyder/Capullo/Miki/FCO run though
  16. kinda like Commissioner Gordon/Batman he knows deep down
  17. Let me look into this further. When this first was published, total was $170 MM for brand placement revenue. Superman is already a $170m brand superhero as Man of Steel tops the product placement charts There may have been an additional $20 MM captured from other advertising that wasn't captured at that point in time. An article published seven days earlier said it was $160 MM i knew it was around there (thumbs u also Dark Knight Rises probabily lost alot of box office money after the events on opening day i see the point of the thread but 10 years down the line nobody cares about box office and judge the films as they should be
  18. As far as 'holes' in the numbers, I would say with VHS/DVD/Blu-Ray sales this would be another analysis point that captures post-cinema revenue results. But the details are not always clear, depending on how much per-title tracking was in place at a given point in time. So my current analysis focused on what could be a common comparison - cinema results. With taking the approach of subtracting special profit-sharing arrangements, it would be interesting but also tricky. We would have to know all arrangements that involved DC and Marvel movies to make it fair. And what about advertising revenue like 'Man of Steel' and its $170 MM success? Again, it would be interesting. But not all movies reveal this information clearly. But it must have had an impact, as now 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' is going like gangbusters with its Carl's Jr/Hardees TV and print ads. and MoS got 190 million from product placement
  19. great work and all but there are huge holes in these numbers... DVD, VIdeo, Blu Ray sales? RDJ took a chunk from the Avengers film because he nogotiated his salary from the money it earned also, it says nothing of quality, i've yet to find someone who thinks Iron Man 3 is better than Dark Knight the theatre's take out money from profits too
  20. They are happy making mushy TV shows. No that's Marvel. You're just excited about Olly taking his shirt off again. And the prospect of Thea and Roy making up. at least something is happening, unlike agents of B.O.R.E.D.O.M.
  21. Good stuff mate. finished it It's great to see this thread being contributed to i'm annoyed that i used pen for the writing in the background, the rest is all done with a brush
