It's been my experience that the people that talk about what they do all the time (with little, if anything, to show for it), they're best to be avoided. Sometimes it's best to just do it. You can do or you can talk about doing. Not both. People that bend everyone's ear about their great plans have used up all the energy that would be needed to actually DO. I've seen this happen over and over again. 1950's war comics, aardvark88, FoggyNelson and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've witnessed it for years and it goes against my entire creative philosophy. But many people use their field as a sort of prop to promote themselves, not their work- the work itself becomes secondary to them, talking about the work. The people who get s*#t done seldom ramble on about themselves. kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ALWAYS looked like that in the nineties; I don't think anyone could take that logically or seriously, the same way many character's capes are all over the place.

Good call - 90’s capes ? Yuck - Insert ANY picture from the first 50 issues of Spawn here...plus every woman had the physique of Jenna Jameson , which as a young teen wasn’t terrible D2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So here’s the thing, if you’ve ever read the Hama/Kubert run from 75 to 90, it’s pretty good. Wolverine is vulnerable and human again. The art is sensational stuff too, even with this silliness... but I totally agree with you. I think it would have been even cooler if Wolverine didn’t have any claws after Magneto ripped out his adamantium. The bone claws were stupid. Cool in concept, poor in execution.

Most likely the writers think horns are made of bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordbyroncomics Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Jim Shooter is known for being outspoken about writers lacking any general science knowledge. I avoided all of that X stuff in the 90s' as much as I could but I'd be surprised Larry Hama lacked some degree of knowledge about anatomy as he's such a renaissance man. Then again, and I don't mean this in any flip manner or tone, he might have just been like, "it's comics, it's escapism, we don't need to think that deeply about this stuff" which I would also concur with D2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
