So hyped about the DC Marvel crossover 🍅

[jwilliams051197]

Yup, this movie still holds up, in my opinion. While most people tend to focus on the cameos in this movie, I feel this movie did a good job of showing Deadpool and Wolverine trying to better themselves. Hugh Jackman obviously gives 100% in this movie, especially in that car scene berating Deadpool, but Ryan Reynolds also has some emotional bits, too. I just end up tearing up at the end with all of them reunited as a family, I just think it's really effective.

Folks, if you enjoy MCU shows, check out Ironheart. It's got a good story, and Riri is a great character.

Cover Girls

[Reposted from my Apple Journal, Friday October 17th at 01:58 pm]

Respectively the solo She-ro books of the late seventies and early eighties were abysmal. No shade, just tea. I am not even mentioning She-Hulk's first run because there was nothing salvageable from that title, even the covers sucked. But Jessica Drew and Alison Blaire had the A-Team on their covers. I have filled in my collection with Dazzler books I should have never bought except for the fact that the artwork was doing its job and pulled me in by the cover.

You may not judge books by their covers, but we do it all the time with comic books. Hot cover you're thinking it's going to be good inside. Particularly now that I am trying to fill things in, and not actively buying. One way to avoid the glitz and glam of a shiny new cover is to actually take a peek inside, most comic book shops expect that, because they know of the industries long habit of over-selling a book with sometimes even utilizing a different artist for the cover than the insides. Gil Kane did that a lot for DC making middling books look palatable. John Byrne did that across many Marvel books, his understanding of perspective and negative space made him a great artist to step in to spruce up a cover.

Curiously I still have a lot of love for both Ms. Blaire and Ms. Drew even though they continually disappointed me when I got down to the actual reading of their books. But I still tip my hat to them both, because being a lady at this time in the comic books who wasn't overly-sexualized or constantly busting out of her clothes, sorry Ms. Walters, was hard. And the publishers tried all the tricks in the book to sell women as being able to carry books by themselves, no man necessary.

Spider-Woman ran for a nice solid fifty issues before being cancelled. Dazzler for forty-two, She-Hulk twenty-five issues and Ms. Marvel twenty-three issues. You think I am lying but the two with the best covers had the longest runs. It's such a simple trick and still so effective, why do you think variant covers are even a thing? In my opinion if you had a Bill Sienkiewicz, cover you were golden. He came in and not only did covers for The New Mutants, but some of the key stories of their one hundred book run. Sienkiewicz did both SW and Daz favors and created some of their most iconic covers, but that had a lot to do with his own brilliance which I truly think was ahead of its time.

Today, I follow Tumblr blogs dedicated to cover art, it's part of the tool I use to get my nephew, the new generation interested in different books. Curiously we continue to judge the books by their covers, and sometimes it pays off, and sometimes it doesn't, thats just how it be.
