Sometimes just a beautiful fucking girl in a simply beautiful rendered panel gets panel of the week…this is one of those weeks. Huge thanks to Clay Mann’s gorgeous rendering of alternate reality Danielle Moonstar here in X-Men Legacy #246. Just gorgeous.
It’s worth noting of course that Mann was ably aided by inker Jay Leisten and colorist Brian Reber for this panel!

Oops. First ever Cover of the Week F up. I read Magus #3 digitally this week, and as such wasn’t looking at the cover as a contender when I made my decision…but that’s a mistake, because though I really like the Zatanna #10 cover I prefer Magus #3.
So here I am, rectifying the error. I’ll give Zatanna #10 a strong honorable mention as it’s still a nice cover, but my vote has to go with Fiona Staples gorgeous Magus #3 cover. A great perspective choice really gives this image powerful movement. That, combined with wonderful composition and color choices, not to mention, it’s got a fucking dragon, makes this a home run as far as I’m concerned.
I like everything about this Stephane Roux cover for Zatanna #10. The posing and expression is perfect, the empty space is fitting, and the slight wooden texture to Zatanna is just dead on, subtle enough, but not too subtle. Plus, there’s CLIFF CHIANG art inside when you open it. NOTHING CAN BE BETTER! 🙂

So I’ve been doing some reviewing for CBR this past week, and will continue on it seems through March, thanks to some gents needing some time off, including fellow CSBG blogger Chad Nevett.
So head on over and check out some damn fine comics reviews by yours truly.

Thanks to Rebekah Isaacs every damn panel in Captain America and The Falcon looks gorgeous, but I thought this image of Cap falling from the quinjet was surprisingly intense and powerful – the kind of thing I’d love to see more in superhero stories – cause that shit seems like it would happen everyday – and be pretty horrifying.

I liked quite a few covers this week, Janet Lee’s Emma #1, David Yardin and Sonia Oback’s X-Factor #216, Greg Tocchini’s Captain America And The Falcon one-shot, but I’m still going with the awesome Michael Avon Oeming’s Powers #7. Great white space and movement paired up Oeming’s always cool character design.

I’ll be honest, I’m such a fan of Bachalo’s work, it’s going to be hard for others to win on weeks when a book he’s penciling comes out. This week is no exception. Though I didn’t love X-Men #8, I still crazy love some of Chris Bachalo’s really excellent exaggerated cartooning work, it’s so expressive and fun and layered and full of detail. Plus look at Wolverine’s tiny mean head?! Awesome!
In today’s 3 Chicks Podcast we spend some time talking about “grouchy old-man Wolverine” versus “badass Wolverine” (and then “grouchy dickish Batman” versus “huggy Batman” and I talk about how much I prefer the former in Wolverine’s case. The panel below is mostly badass…with just a hint of grouchy…so fun.
