HarveySwick Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 What, I didn't mean any disrespect towards Matt Kindt or Mind MGMT. I've hard great things and the first issue was very interesting. I'll end up picking up a HC at some point. I just mean Bedlam is obviously apples and oranges to Mind MGMT. Matt Kindt seems to have a very distinct style. Seems like Browne is trying to incorporate a little bit of Rossmo and a little bit of Kindt. I don't know. I'm not a fan. And I'm sorry for that and I hope everyone else likes it and it's just me. Because the characters, story, potential are too good. Just the art is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThoseBackPages Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 maybe i read it wrong, but it came off as a slight of Matt's work, which is why i reacted like i did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarveySwick Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Oh, not at all. I really love his work. Which I know sounds as I was basically just bashing Browne's work while saying it is somewhat LIKE Kindt's work. Maybe I'm just I guess the bottom line is - I don't like the new art in Bedlam. I feel like he rushed through it and scribbled. I don't know. I don't want to attack the artist because I couldn't draw a page to save my life. I just miss Rossmo on the book I guess and hope either (1) the art improves (2) Rossmo comes back (3) I learn to deal with the art as is and still enjoy the story. I'd take another two months delay to have Rossmo back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the authority Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I agree to the extent that I expect Rossmo's art when I read Bedlam. I was the same way about the Sentry and Jae Lee. I see the Sentry done by others and I just don't like it no matter how talented the artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsJustRyan Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) My Mind MGMT is killer Bedlam.... The first arc was amazing. I've been left wanting ever since. And I like Riley's work better also (even though I agree about his limitations with the faces). Ryan Browne is talented, but his interpretation of Bedlam doesn't do it for me. I hope Bedlam redeems itself because Madder Red is such a prefect villain archetype. The brief flashbacks of Madder in his crazy heyday aren't really delivering the goods and the story dancing around "The Brainwasher" hasn't really had a big payoff for me yet (other the what's happening with the First). Maybe by the time we get to issue 20, 30, 40 Bedlam will come together as a masterpiece of insanity. Many series don't hit their stride until a few arcs are done. I'll keep waiting.....

HarveySwick Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Nick Spencer came on here not too long ago though and said the book is doing great and he has a lot of plans for the future. I would take that to mean that the book doesn't need saving. Forget TV Announcements and everyone's need to rush and pick up 10 copies because of speculation. The book is great. Who cares if you can get #1 slabbed relatively cheap and initial speculators soured on the book due to that. It's a great story (albeit with art) with a lot of potential and room to grow. Sit back and enjoy the ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
