Word on all of that! (Except the art, which I'm indifferent to.)

Especially:
Makes it seems like both Babs and Dick were just killing time being with Kory and Jason Bard. I don't know, but I really cringe at the thought of the two of them just quietly pining for each other during all that time. It seems like the point of that is to build up the scale of their romance later on, but it ends up diminishing them as individuals who had their own lives, interests and relationships apart from each other.

	Well, the art does get kind of bleh in places, but I like the way he does faces. Each of them has their own shape. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Interesting! I like everything BUT the faces. The women's are usually all right, but Dick's face looks off all the time, and Bruce looks like a mafioso. The writing irks me a lot more, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Heh, it's true. But I appreciate the fact that each face is structured differently, you know? Oftentimes you'll just see one standard format for men's faces and one for women's, with, like, different coloured hair and eyes, and possibly wrinkles. Here it looks like each person has an individually-shaped head and facial features.

The writing irks me a lot more, though.

Gosh yes.

	Well, I have to confess I often prefer clone-face syndrome to melty-face syndrome, but true, the art here isn't remotely that bad. (Dick still looks weird, though.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think I've really seen much of his art other than this, come to think of it, so I'm not really the best judge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What about his work on Birds? His godawful work on Birds? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, him! LOL! I guess I never paid much attention to his name. (Reply to this) (Parent)
