with a whimper

Remember art ? it still happens , i have seen New Avengers, collected the book from my pull, list to empty it out , and didn't find much along the lines of what i consider great art in the books i got , two dc 52 titles , Swamp thing and Frankenstein agent of Shade, Hulk and the avengers , i found a bunch of rough blocky pencil scribbles . Some good writing in the mix but overall 4 out of 4 titles there was some sort of disappointment over the art work, thought comics were supposed to be a visual medium?
First offender , Swamp thing 1 , this books primary purpose was to reestablish , Alec Holland in the universe proper and give Swamp thing a human alter ego, the problem being that Swamp thing only appears on the last page. My Problem with the art is a little nit picking in some ways as of the 4 books was at the top of the pile in terms of the pencils, but Super-man was drawn witha jay leno chin looking very little like super-man , i have seen impressive Clarks in the early days of the Superman/ Batman comic and i think those should be the template .
Frankenstein agent of shade, the art was scribbled pencil, nothing as clearly defined as it could have been , the story, was what you might expect with the twist of the microscopic , ant farm head quarters , the new creature commandos and father time now in the body of a little girl, none the less fun.
Hulk 41 , the Art in this book has been a gripe for sometime, the story, is zero/one giving Ross a this is your life and the a rip off conclusion to the big fight when Ross turns back to human form. we'll see where parker takes the books from here , rather anti climatic arch.
Avengers 17, the art continues to be the signature big and blocky , didn't mind it as much in the incredible hulk, the new avengers sweep in , hawkeye, and ms. marvel , feel like the only ones who belong in this book, the activation of the spare armors was cool, Sin teleports away and fear itself trudges on, one of the better fear itself storys.
