I’m fairly disappointed that Marko Djurdjevic’s interior art on Thor is kinda wishy washy. I’m hoping it’s just Danny Miki being an unsuitable inker for Djurdjevic, since his painted and pencil art is astounding. I’d like to see him paint or at least do the whole digital colours over pencils treatment on his next book.
Edit - Actually I think the quality is down to the printing, the black ink plate seems a bit too light.

Anyone notice that Red Hulk has the same spiffy haircut that Doc Samson’s been sporting lately?
Hey, wasn’t Samson’s whole deal that he couldn’t cut his hair because his powers would go away, like the biblical figure? What happened to that?

Quick pretext, I’m trying out these “Thursday Reflections” as little posts on comics I’ve read on new comics day (thursday being new comics day in the UK) and my reaction to them.
Did anyone else feel like Countdown was basically a year long exercise in having sweet f.a happen for 52 issues and seeing if people would buy it? I mean, what happened? Mary Marvel went bad, had a whole redemption arc, then the writers didn’t know what to do with that, so she’s bad again. Some shit happened on the 52 earths and New Gods died, in the Death of The New Gods book. Feh.
While Trinity looks ok, I can’t be arsed with another of these weekly (weakly) books, 52 was great, countdown was like Lou Bega’s “I got a girl”.

Not sure what I think of the new trailer for Frank Miller’s Spirit film. It’s just as valid as Darwyn Cooke’s take in that it’s the artist’s personal outlook, rather than imitating Eisner, but I dunno, it seems all Miller does is tough guys with long coats and converse monologuing far too earnestly. I’ll cast judgement when it comes out I guess, but right now I’m not into it.
I do like the Eisner-esque poster (above) however.
On a side note, does anyone else wonder if Miller actually thinks in long tough guy monologues like his characters? Cause that’d be neat if he did.
