Walt Simonson Master Post
fgyuk

Walt Simonson has just about drawn every major character for every major publisher throughout the last thirty-odd years. Best known for his work on Thor, Starslammers, Fantastic Four, Battlestar Galactica and Orion, Simonson’s style has always been lauded as having the energy to rival Jack Kirby’s. But just as his legendary predecessor’s work was seen, all of the subtlety in Simonson’s work is often overlooked. Even in the most frantic piece, Simonson manages give it a quiet sense of characterization.

Hell, he just draws purty, OK?

Since I can easily make thirty different posts based on his covers alone, I’ve posted some of my personal favorite comics and covers by Simonson.

Jan's bad luck with stalkers, part three.
Or, really, a corollary to part two, because I'm an idjit and had somehow totally forgotten about this.

So, when I said that there were no major stalkery incidents between David Cannon and Janet van Dyne between the times of Marvel Features and issue 71 of Avengers Volume Three, I was totally neglecting an important one. Namely, Cannon's kidnapping attempt after Jan's divorce from Hank and Hank's later imprisonment.

Two pages and two panels from Avengers #222.

Proud and insolent youth, prepare to meet thy doom.
I love Avengers: Fairy Tales in so many ways, but by far, my favorite thing about the miniseries is Claire Wendling's gorgeous art on the covers.



ETA: Added four assorted pages from the Peter Pan story, because it had my favorite of the art styles.

What If...? #114 Daddy Doom
Given that it's Doom week and I've kinda wanted to post this for some time and it also has cross dimensional spawn and fun What if ness all packed into one I bring scans daily 10 pages (from a 32 page comic) about What if...the people who were abducted by the Beyonder stayed on Battleworld for 25 years and had to co-exist, unable to return home to Earth?

It's also one of my favorite if not THE one What If I've always wanted to see continued, especially given that it's ending lends itself to that...

So, since the subject of Thunderball's characterization came up yesterday...
Maybe I need to kick-start a "When The Wrecking Crew Was Awesome" week.


Since the discussion yesterday of Thunderball's characterization in Jeff Parker's Dark Reign: The Hood #1 mentioned that Thunderball's characterization has varied over the years, I thought that I'd post a few pages that illustrate a nice counterpoint to the way that Parker is writing him.

Although it causes me profound and pervasive spiritual agony to say this, the last time I recall Eliot Franklin being written as clearly articulate was by none other than Chuck Austen in Austen's Avengers vol. 3 stint. (This happened to be in the same storyline where Kelsey Leigh eventually became the new Captain Britain in a plot so rife with gleeful abandonment of consistency vis a vis the Captain Britain mythos that I don't think that I've ever met anyone who doesn't gleefully mock it.)

But to his credit, despite the absurd contrivance of Morgan Le Fey deciding to recruit the Wrecking Crew as the best choice to help her achieve dominion over England, Austen wrote a damn fine Thunderball (although, as someone has pointed out, it turns out to not be Eliot at all).



I like this Eliot Franklin; it references old school depictions of Eliot when his genius intellect was in evidence. He utters a literary reference and immediately expresses profound appreciation when Kelsey responds in kind -- to the point that he expresses regret when she refuses to step aside -- but he's not swayed from his stated mission one bit when she does refuse his request to move. It's a nice little character moment for both of them; they're both resolute, smart, and unyielding. I wish more writers would do this with Thunderball because it's just plain enjoyable to read him as a clearly educated and cultured man.

Alan Davis draws She-Hulk
In the recent Savage She-Hulk #2, Marvel thoughtfully included a reprint of an old Claremont/Davis She-Hulk short story. While you can make some arguments about when the top of Claremont's game was - and make no mistake, there was a point in time where, as far as mainstream superhero books go, he was the best - this is top-of-game-adjacent at the very least. He always seemed to have a lot of fun with She-Hulk and her job as a lawyer, and worked her in as a cameo with reasonable frequency.

I'm not sure where this originally appeared. I want to say it's from the late eighties, which would make it fairly likely that this is from the short-lived Solo Avengers book.

four pages after the cut )

Alternate realities, ahoy!

Four scans apiece from two assured low-selling titles from two Marvel Adventures writers now migrating into the 616 universe:  Jeff Parker's relaunch of Exiles, and Fred Van Lente's miniseries featuring Lyra, a Jeff Parker character.

Everything You Know Is Wrong!
I intended to post this awhile ago, in support of someone's post on the one-shot What If The Scarlet Witch Didn't Act Alone? But I actually hate scanning. It's involved and timeconsuming and doing it well requires minute adjustments, also. I'm lazy.

Anyway, this is from the one-shot Avengers: Finale.
