Local comic book historian here, Specifically Morbius the Living Vampire (Pre-movie. God help me comics only. Fuck Jared Leto the damn rapist). Need to know anything about why he is awesome or any bit of canon then drop me a message. I identify as genderqueer, any pronouns are fine. To hell with Terfs. Black Lives matter. I'm well into adulthood but fine with interacting with minors in a SFW talking about fandom way. If you are a minor please don't ask me anything you wouldn't ask a normal adult in your life. You're a loved member of fandom i just don't really feel comfy sending you my NSFW headcanons. I live in Ohio with a bunch of rats and somehow a sad and very intelligent vampire I'm married to.
i been reading sum more morb comics and i wanna share my personal ranking🥹 note that ts is my own opinion and entirely subjective
10. Michael Gaydos (Legions Of Monsters: Morbius)
It very much amazes me how realistic the proportions are, not to mention that is watercolour??? Michael Gaydos did everything himself (pencil, inking, colouring) so this is mad impressiveΣ(ﾟДﾟ；)
9. Gil Kane (Amazing Spider-Man #101-#102)
the og ofcc😋😋 i love how expressive he is, not a lot of versions can do that ngl. bright colours also makes it easier for me to read🤭
8. Ron Wagner (Morbius The Living Vampire 1992 Issue 1-14)
michael looks so insane here and honestly im all for it😍😍 what's really intriguing for me are the eyes because im not going to lie it feels like this version or morbius is that he could probably return the penance stare to ghost rider with those eyes🥀im jk
7. Kev Walker (Marvel Zombies 4 Issue 1-4)
i love how fluent the poses are in this series, but its truly one of if not the goriest comics i have ever read🥲 it was quite literally all red for many panels
something about how the colours and shadows clash is really welcoming for me🤔 either way great series too (shout out to Rachelle Rosenberg (the colorist) fr🙏)
5. Marcelo Ferreira (yes again) (Morbius: The Living Vampire 2019 Issue 1-5)
4. Marco Checcetto (Amazing Spider-Man #699.1 Page 1-2)
I ABSOLUTELY ADMIRE how despite all the body horror going on the entire series is still very whats the word stable?? connecting?? idk the point is morbius' form stays the same from one panel to another😞
i really do wish that they had continued this series with the ones they had planned, the covers they released looked so cool :(
pls note that theres only 2 pages of this sample because the rest of the issue is drawn by Valentine De Landro👍 i love the hatches to illuminate shadows, even in 2 pages only this still manages to impress big time. (ESPECIALLY DOC OCK. probably my favorite panel between the 2 pages but I can't fit it here sadly)
3. Tom Reilly (Morbius: Bond of Blood 2021)
personally this is the default look for morbius😋 the body shape, hairstyle, suit, everything. it also has very minimum shadows and blocking and the pastel colours are actually a really nice touch🤑🤑 shout out to Chris O'Halloran on foenem🙏
2. Giuseppe Camuncoli (Amazing Spider-Man #688-#691 (No Turning Back Arc))
THE COAT I LOVE THE COAT i love it when characters put a regular ahh coat over their usual clothing
..ok thats obviously not why this is 2nd place🥹 what i love most is the anatomy and attention to character detail🧐i personally see it as a more detailed version of tom reilly's version (no.3) also do you see that blur?? absolute cinema gng
1. Richard Elson (Morbius The Living Vampire 2013 Issue 1-5; 8-9)
he gets shot WAY too many times in this series you guys🥹🥹 around 17 bullets and got exploded once (not counting all the bullets that MISSED) he gets absolutely slimed and js walks it off😭💔
ok but seriously this series is very detailed with shadows, shading, lineart it's honestly insane. tho i have absolutely no idea how his hair got so short because this is supposed to be a direct continuation from asm 699.1 (see no. 4) as in it happened only HOURS after it.
also issue 6-7 is drawn by Valentine De Landro don't ask why cuz idk either
I ACTUALLY HAVE MORE OMD but ts for top 10 only😡😡sigh ok ig.. darn tumblr image limit
I am so late to answering this but I can support it! The man can pull off that creepy factor and the 'I don't know how to socialize' factor. The rest can be done with makeup. I think he could pull it off.
I'm fine, lol. I just brought the tower of Babel down on me, and by Tower of Babel I mean I started a HUGE family brawl that has resulted in a portion of my family blocking and refusing to speak to me. Wheeeeeee!
The gist is: Got invited to cousin's kid's wedding (I'm old). It is states away but sister and mother wanna go because it will be FANC-E. I agree to go along just to crash at motel and add dry jokes (I know nearly nothing about the actual wedding at this point), Sister starts doing a racism about crime in the area on a group text. I start replying with the usual 'Mr. Rogers is disappointed in you' type gifs. She gets combative, I match that energy. I say something along the lines of 'we're not going to be disrespectful, we are just going to a wedding. It's not like it's on a plantation.'
GUESS WHAT. IT WAS GOING TO BE ON A PLANTATION.
I say I am out. This leads to EXPLOSIVE combat from the sister unit. She doubles down on everything, starts ranting. I politely say I am middle aged and I don't want that BS near me. I receive sassy response with eyerolls and kissy emojis. I say I'm blocking her for a month so she can think on things. WELP. That apparently brought everything down. She is gossiping with my cousins who I had hoped wouldn't support her racist BS, mom fell on my side, Brother in law is trying to stay out of the whole affair. Spouse gave me applause.
So now the whole family is getting split along the lines of decency and idiocy. I'm a black sheep but I'm used to that. Had two cancer tests come back negative in the last two months (WOOT!) Spending thanksgiving alone with my spousal unit tomorrow so ummm... yeah. I'm fine. Pissed, but fine. Feelin cute, might go feral and bite someone.
