comics!

My friend Luis drew me a DR! :D We worked together on the Simpsons (and Luis still works there.) Check out his blog!

This is a Comic-Book Day post!

So I picked up "Doctor Who: The Forgotten" recently. I took a look at some of the other Doctor Who comics,... and well, frankly... I didn't care for them. But I really like the art (by Pia Guerra) in this one! It's a good likeness while keeping things lively and not too-photo-reffed. (I wish the cover was drawn by Pia Guerra, too!!)
I took a quick look through a bunch of other american comics, and I couldn't really find anything to catch my interest. So much stuff now has bad drawing (eyes floating off the side of the face) or way too stiff and obviously photo-reffed... or just not the type of art I enjoy looking at.

I did finally pic up Jo Chen's The Other Side of the Mirror. I've been a big fan of her art for years. Her figural work even in comic panels is gorgeous!

I'm still reading (and enjoying) XXXHoLic...

I find myself loosing interest in Nana (I'm up to about 70)... all the angst is just wearing thin on me.

Also, I got a couple of Paul Adam's UNTAMED sketchbooks (you can pick them up through his website)! He's one of the folks who collaborated on our Chimera comic a couple years ago. The awesome thing about Paul's art is that he can draw hot babes, awesome looking monsters with awesome mouths, and rad action sequences.
