Is it because it looks like he has leggings under the costume? That doesn't seem that bad--some sort of anti-chafing precaution. 251 is a bit wild though. Not sure I would have noticed, but that one leg is way off. Probably need Kav to come in and describe exactly how anatomically impossible it is, but it seems that the Joker is, at the very least, suffering from some advanced form of hip dysplasia. I guess on 251 his legs are spread so wide he's going to hurt himself... @kav - That's what she said? kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like the story, the art, or his feeble, cliched British accent and dialogue. Hulk 271; terrible as well, plus an atrocious cover. Agree. I had some from buying collections. Even had a cgc because I love the cover. Story character yuck. Movie was solid though. Ken Aldred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm like that for most of this kind of stuff myself, but I don't mind this cover for some reason. jcjames 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes no sense when it comes to the black costume and Venom. May 1984 - ASM 252 - 1st Black Costume November 1984 - ASM 258 - Peter discovers that the black costume is actually an Alien Symbiote. December 1984 - Secret Wars 8 - We see Peter Parker get a costume from a machine The more sought after book should be ASM 258 as that was when we learn the black costume is an alien symbiote and that is a full month before SW8. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sckao Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 On 11/6/2021 at 6:39 PM, jcjames said: Lee's style quickly morphed to the Leifeld-esque style that is so detestably 90sish. Compare that X-Men 4 abovr to just a couple years earlier with his X-Men 248 debut. World of difference. That was inked by Dan Green... Marc Silvestri's inker I think. Marc Silvestri's style was also not the technically sharp style he currently has now. It was MUCH more open and scattered with lines that frequently did not connect. Dan Green also inked Dr. Strange. Jim Lee started on Alpha Flight and then went to Punisher War Journal. He did this cover for Punisher War Journal #7 in 1989 with Carl Potts. I think Carl Potts follows Lee's line work much closer and it looks MORE like what Lee's work will become later once he's more experienced and working with Williams. X-Men #248 was published Sept. 1989 that same year. grendelbo and D2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry JSA Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Amazing Spider-Man #101 is a key that’s very “blah” to me. I have 0 interest in Morbius. While his upcoming movie does look interesting, I’m just not interested in his comic counterpart. He’s just a vampire to me.

Jesse-Lee Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 The best suit in the game is the cartoon suit though. It's kinda weird to play as it, it really looks like watching a cartoon... grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan inked most everyone at Marvel over the years; definitely one of the better ones. He’s also a pretty strong penciller. He also penciled Dr Strange for a bit, and he was inked by Terry Austin in those issues. Ken Aldred and grendelbo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
