Hawkman's headpiece only works in comics. It looks ridiculous otherwise. There I said it. And even in comics only a couple of artists can get it to look good. Kubert being the best. Naturally. Anderson is solid, but a little too slick for me. Pity poor Mike Sekowsky. But what the feck is this, if not a steaming pile of scat?!

This could be said of just about every superhero's head attire, couldn't it? The issue with Hawkman is that often the eyes on the mask don't seem to line up with the eyes on this head. I no-prized he just had some kind of Thanagarian periscope set-up in there to make it work. Yes, yes, yes!

That would be painful to watch if I cared about that book.

After buying the Epic collections I can't look at my Essentials anymore. Color absolutely beats black and white when it comes to reading enjoyment .

Mostly true that color beats black and white except for when the coloring is crap and you can't see the art as intended. I personally enjoy my Essential Tomb of Dracula's in black and white over color any day. And my collected Warlord of Mars black and white printing makes the series art shine so much better from the dark dirty coloring it suffered from. And don't get me started on the disgusting coloring going on in the 80's when everyone experimented with paper and colors. YUUUUUCK But today's computerized controlled coloring is helping to make many of the old comics shine brighter and better then ever before letting the pencils and inks strut their stuff.

After buying the Epic collections I can't look at my Essentials anymore. Can I have them, then? Because I love the Essential/Showcase format. As an artist, I value being able to see comic art without yesterday's (or today's) crappy coloring. Cei-U! I summon the shameless mooch!

I tend to read and re-read more of my Essentials and Showcases than i do from my single issues collection. Sometimes i see/find things in the art which i missed or the black and white art helps to show more character within the artwork. My DC war comics Showcases and Horror for DC and Marvel really do deliver much more mood and atmosphere without the color. And the Savage Sword of Conan from Dark Horse shows why this lone black and white magazine managed to last so long on the stands.

So glad Starlin is getting his moment in the spotlight due to the Marvel Cinematic Universe highlighting his babies. It is truly sad seeing many of the greats at a convention and they are mostly being ignored. i have personally seen this during the Phoenix Comic-con where a line of people for another artist 3-4 tables down passes right in front of an artist and they will not even look at or speak to them.What passes through some folks minds to ignore these artists and writers? It allows me a great time spent talking and connecting with many of them since there is no line but it mostly saddens me that so many of them are unappreciated in their twilight years. I make it a point to stop and say hello even if not purchasing anything from them and say thanks for their contributions in comic books and that they will always be a part of my youth and life and that i am appreciative for what they have done in the past and what they continue doing today.
