Today's calender section in the LA TImes had a lead article about the Parker GN complete with color illo. The article also talked about the resurgence of hard-boiled crime as a comics genre - something I'm really happy about - as I far prefer books like Criminal and Back to Brooklyn than most of the horror/fantasy material that dominates the non-superhero output for adult readers.

Not that I don't enjoy some of that stuff, but when it comes to non-comic genre fiction, my diet is pretty much limited to crime fiction.

Cooke's run on The Spirit was freakin awesome. I loved all the issues he drew and wrote.

New Frontier is what got me into DC comic a few years back.

 

If not for that, I probably would have remained a MRVEL ZOMBIE.... Thanks Mr. Cooke!

I would buy that Jonah Hex cover. But, Albert Moy never had it.

today's NYT had a glowing review on the Hunted today- along w/ two other trades/graphic novels (Gaiman's Batman and something from Mazzuchelli)

Linky for the NYT

Solo deserves to be collected.

 

Then it would be called 'Combo.'

More like "Solos"

Finished Hunter today. I never read the original book, but this was a great read. I don't want to give a spoiler, but I really enjoyed how the book went from one ending to continue on with the story.

I'm reading the NYT review now and found this funny...

 

While the situations may be Mr. Stark’s, the stylized imagery is Mr. Cooke’s. (At this point in his career, I would happily buy his graphic adaptation of a phone book.)

I would also recommend getting the catwoman run of him...

Not only his drawing style is a very good one, but he's a true storyteller in everysense of the word.

 

if only Marvel (and DC) had "this type of philosophy" towards the medium, putting talented people on their titles (art and story).

The majority of todays titles can be written by fabulous writers, but what's the point when you can't even "look" at the art... without your mind yelling "WTF is this (art)"?!?!

I don't understand most of the art for today. I was reading Warren Ellis story in Astonishing X-Men and could not stand the art. It ruined what was otherwise a good story.

 

I loved Darwin's take on Kryptonite. That was a very good story.
