Warning Greg Land art.

I guess Mags is pissed Juggy almost ended him last issue.

 

[DonasaurusRex]

...i hope that guy doesn't blow up after being charged up by remy. The xmen cant stop juggs these days they use a B team if i ever saw one , i guess namor is busy with attuma while this is going on though.

Rockslide will be ok, he can reform his body out any nearby rock. Juggernaut is amped by The Serpent.

I dislike modern comic art.

If you need me i'll be in the 90's.

 

[Dan]

In terms of visual storytelling, I can't tell what the fuck is going on there.

 

[krypt0nian]

Weird. I instantly like that Face guy.

 

[Parallax]

i seriously hate that land traces. you can tell when he recycles his characters

 

[Slayven]

Weird. I instantly like that Face guy.

Being the low man on the totem pole in hell will make you endearing.

 

[Escape Goat]

They already tried last issue and got their collective asses handed to them.

 

[goober]

Is that Chamber? o_o

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Jugg's new outfit is pretty amazing looking.

 

[jaxword]

That's got to be the TENTH time he's used that orgasm girl as his generic female action pose.

Why is this guy allowed to ruin comics any more than he does already?

Also, side note, you may want to rehost those, I think CBR will eventually block leeching when they find it.

 

[Slayven]

Is that Chamber? o_o

No his name is Face, cause his face is a gapping hole that shoots energy.

not familiar with him at alll.

 

[Slayven]

Only been around a couple of months.

 

[goober]

This guy? wow

 

[enzo_gt]

Is that what Juggs looks like in the comics now?

That's pretty awesome.

Pouches, pouches everywhere.

Well that and the scene with him and Xi'an was kinda touching. I'm a mark for anything OG New Mutants.

 

[G-Fex]

Pouches, pouches everywhere.

tracings, tracings everywhere

 

[Parallax]

tracings, tracings everywhere

thats only really land. and land II whose name i always forget.

 

[krypt0nian]

I did appreciate the Greg Land warning. The guy is shameless.

But while we're going there I have to admit that I loved Crossgen's Sojourn. I even have a statue from it.

 

[Viewt]

The awful thing about people like Greg Land and Salvador Larocca is that they know how to fucking draw. They used to fucking draw.

Old Greg Land:

So it's just fucking insulting that he sells this bullshit.

 

[krypt0nian]

Totally agree. <3 his Nightwing.

 

[G-Fex]

So who's the goobers responsible for Samuel Jackson Nick Fury and Tommy Lee Jones Norman Osborne?

 

[Drakeon]

Holy shit, this is a revelation to me. I had no idea he actually knew how to draw and didn't always just phone it in with tracing porn.

 

[krypt0nian]

There was some porn tracing yes, but I loved this series:

I know Marvel said they would not be directly continuing the Crossgen's stuff but I would kill for the continuations of Sojourn, Scion, and Negation War.

 

[Aaron]

Wow, I can believe people pay money for art like that. Total garbage.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

I don't believe for a second that nightwing art is Greg land. for all we know he traced that too. or had someone else help him. I need to see more.

 

[Hellion]

Why does marvel always toss shitty art onto the x-men?

Isn't it their most valuable property?

 

[Viewt]

Believe it. Land drew a great Nightwing.

 

[Narag]

His Nightwing stuff was great as Viewt demonstrates above.

Avengers are the New X-men

 

[ReiGun]

I can't even tell what is going on in those panels in the OP. That is just awful.

Is it confirmed that Land traces porn, or is everyone just saying that to be funny? (That screaming chick does appear to be making an O face...)

 

[Littleberu]

How do we know it's not tracing?

 

[DonasaurusRex]

Avengers are the New X-men

pretty much , the time of xmen dominating is over for now it was a good run, but ever since ultimates, new avengers, mighty avengers , civ war etc ,its been all avengers/new avengers/ insert whatever avengers.

 

[gwarm01]

Am I insane? The art doesn't look bad to me. I don't read a lot of comics so maybe I'm just missing something here.

 

[Littleberu]

Am I insane? The art doesn't look bad to me. I don't read a lot of comics so maybe I'm just missing something here.

It's just that, generally, tracing is badly frowned upon in the comics book community. Greg Land is also guilty of using the same references over and over again and tracing it for different, not necessary appropriate poses.

 

[SmithnCo]

Their faces in the second page... Good lord.

Is it confirmed that Land traces porn, or is everyone just saying that to be funny? (That screaming chick does appear to be making an O face...)

I think people have found enough matching poses/faces to make a strong case. Some of which are pretty blatant.

Either way his stuff always looks awful to me... Serious O-face syndrome.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Art looks fine to me, the real problem is I can't tell what the hell is going on in the sequence of panels. Terrible flow.

 

[Khal_B]

Haven't followed up Juggernaut for a while but is he still a top tier character in terms of strength and durability?

 

[Dram]

Here's some examples of tracing http://jimsmash.blogspot.com/2008/06/more-greg-land-tracing.html

One of the faces in the OP even looks like this:

How do we know it's not tracing?

I guess we don't.

 

[the chris]

Don't mind me, just dumping some more fuel on the anti-Greg Land fire

Stealing from Travis Charest

Stealing from Bryan Hitch

Sue Storm founding out her long thought dead mother is alive

And this one

 

[Ezduo]

Thread derailment in full effect:

 

[karasu]

hahahahaha

 

[gerg]

Welp. How does he get away with this? lol

Despite how dislikeable Land's work practices are, he still produces a very clean, photographic style which is quite unreplicated by other artists. I guess you could say that Adam Hughes works in that vein, but Hughes' work is more graphically-stylised, and he doesn't draw interiors, either.

TBH, apart from the tracing of other artist's work (which is outright wrong, not just lazy), the worst thing I find about Land is how much he recycles his work, not how much of his work is traced or referenced from photos.

 

[JWong]

Glad he's on Xmen since Xmen is trash nowadays with Cyclops at helm.
