Is no one else concerned by a cover that shows what appears to be Wonder Man about to explode and attack the Avengers? I realize that covers like this popped up all the time in Golden/Silver/Bronze age but with Bendis I have been conditioned that when he shows a member of the Avengers as a bad guy, he's going whole hog with it...

Hey, why are people critcizing that artwork? I think it's great. It may actually win a blue ribbon at the middle school art show. Oh wait, that was a real cover by a professional artist? Oops sorry, but you can see where I made the mistake.

The blonde guy in the background--- do we assume that's Steve Rogers, then? HB Oh yeah... the brown blob with a head. I missed that the first time. I would say Pym, which is surprising since the BENDIS! always writes him in a hateful way.

I think I may have commented on this before-- but what has happened to JR, jr over the years? I mean, probably very few folks remember this, but Marvel gave him a tryout manymanymany years ago (like, 25 or more, I think-- probably longer) and his style was, of course, a clone of his father's. BUT- it was an excellent clone. Detailed, dynamic, nicely fluid-- really solid skills and artistic gifts were evident. And then at some point he re-invented his style (surely to escape from his father's looming shadow), and when he took on Star Brand he was full-blown committed to this stiff, minimalist, harsh look he's traded on ever since. And I daresay he has lost his natural gifts in the process. When he doesn't have a strong inker, his weaknesses in drawing facial symmetry, in perspective, and in 3/4-type views (off the top of my untrained head) is jarring to my eye. Bobc, you probably have a better vocabulary for speaking about this. When he was drawing Spiderman, I couldn't believe they had let the franchise get to this point--- where the name was more important than quality & integrity of product (oh, the foreshadowing. . . ). I feel like we're looking at the Emperor in his underthings---- and that we're all the little kid who's pointing out that he's undressed. . . Or that he's become like the aging Picasso, laughing all the way to the bank while cynically producing useless, artless junk-- because the herd will buy it.
Have I made this point before? It's sounding familiar to me. . .
Or is he really good, and I'm just a clod?
