TIM SALE: SOLO

[The Brain]

Why more people are not talking about this book is a real mystery to me. I have always liked

 

his work, but in this format he rocks. Thanks to DC for this, looking forward to seeing the next

 

which will be another fav,Richard Corben!! My fav in this book by Sale is Young Love, a great

 

Supergirl story,(very touching,and sad). This is also cool as we see Sale's adapt to 6 different

 

stories, and 6 different styles. Buy it now!!!

i totally agree...a gorgeous/well written book. possibly one of my favs. that got out this month.

Ditto me on this book. I didn't know about it, Tim Sale is one of my favorite artists, and finding this on the stand was a huge, pleasant surprise.

 

I got Solo and Catwoman: When in Rome #2 both on one day.

those are 2 great comics...visually stunning, and the catwoman mini. has a high quality paper/cover.

[Room 237]

same here... genius, loved Solo, TS is one of my all time modern favs.

The Spectre story in the Corben issue was a pleasant surprise. All the other stories were cool, quick reads also. My props to DC as well.

SLEEPER OF THE MONTH, CORBEN IS ALSO A GREAT READ

Who else should DC get to do one of these?

 

My choices:

 

- Mike Golden

- P. Craig Russell

- Joe Kubert

- Toth

- Steranko!

- Neal Adams (of course!)

Yeah! That Corben cyclops just about lept off the rack at me. I'm sorry I missed the first issue, now I have to hunt one down. Interesting series!

Hmmmm.... I didn't buy the Corben issue, as I saw he was the writer as well as the artist and I've never cared for his writing, but his art is interesting and I thought he was perfect for "Cage".

 

I've always had a soft spot for The Spectre, how is the story? It might be enough for me to take a second look.

As stated above the Spectre story was a nice surprise with a "6th Sense" feel to it.

I LOVED the first issue. Tim Sale is awesome and he did a great job on all of the stories in ish #1. The Corben issue, however, was a big disapointment to me. I have always enjoyed corben in the past, but I thought every story, save maybe the Spectre one, was mediocre at best.

I can agree that the Corben stories bordered on the weak side but what I enjoy him most for is his artwork with those big, ,juicy colors!

Welcome to the boards Eric!

 

#3 - Paul Pope (feb 2005)

 

Future issues of SOLO will spotlight:

 

- Darwyn Cooke

- Mike Allred

- Jim Lee

- George Pratt

- Jill Thompson

- Brian Bolland

- Matt Wagner

- Bruce Timm

- Dave Gibbons

- Walter Simonson

 

And many more.

[NeuroZombie-migration]

Hey Kevin!

 

I cannot wait for many of those on the list. I am a HUGE fan of most of those guys and I may have to buy an extra copy of the Jill Thomson issue for my wifes *gasp* comic art scrapbook (don't worry, she has no other actual comic books in her scrapbook, but she is a big Thompson fan)

 

Sounds great!

[Kevin Boyd]

Two more that are in the works that I forgot to mention:

 

- Howard V. Chaykin

- french artist Jordi Bernet.

[Jayman]

While they are all great artists, these I can't wait for!

 

Jim Lee

Brian Bolland

I can't think of a bad apple in that bunch and I've been pretty happy with the first two issues (the Sale one was outstanding). The only one I'm not uber-excited about is George Pratt, but this is a great idea for a book... it's unfortunate that it won't ever burn up the sales charts.

 

The best hope for the continued existance of this title is word of mouth... so keep spreading the word. I would hate to see DC cancel it without making a dent in that great list.

[NeuroZombie-migration]

George Pratt may surprise us all, you never know. I was really looking forward to the Corben ish, for example. It may go either way for even the best artists.
