Art vs. Narrative

Ultimate Spider-Man is still fan-fucking-tastic after 90 issues. And Ultimates 2 is easily one of the best comic arcs I've read in years.

Yeah. That Rob Liefeld. He sure was a great artist.




I mean really. What the fuck is that supposed to be. Captain America has shoe boxes for pecs and the girl on the left has a torso that is 8 miles long and a waist that is 4 inches around.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
