I guess everyone knows Capullo's doing New 52 Batman now. It's not bad but there are things I still prefer about his style in these X-Force issues.<br /><br />Back in the day he also briefly took over Wizard's Brutes & Babes (how to draw comics) column from Bart Sears.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13951557839466292328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-75806094034031427822009-08-22T15:15:47.661-04:002009-08-22T15:15:47.661-04:00"Cannonball as a stump"

I'd read the first 3 issues and didn't care to read any more. This gives me a reason to pick up some X-Force issues next time I run across the ones he did in a quarter bin. I really wish he had never got the Spawn gig and had kept working in his earlier, cleaner style.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-50249904327499309612007-10-19T21:44:00.000-04:002007-10-19T21:44:00.000-04:00I remember that line and I took it to mean that Cr...<B>I remember that line and I took it to mean that Crule wanted to cut Sam's arms, legs and head off... a bit more X-treme than just the decapitation needed in Highlander.</B><BR/><BR/>There's a mental image...Cannonball as a stump.<BR/><BR/><B>draw such iconic characters like the Externals, the MLF, the Dark Riders, the Friends of Humanity, the Six Pack, and about two panels of full-glory Magneto.

Compared to contemporary X-artists JRJr. and the Kuberts, Capullo by far had the cleanest style and clearest storytelling (Romita was phoning it in, I guess, and the Kuberts were still doing bad mimics of Lee and Silvestri). To think that he only lasted 11 issues and had the privelege (coughcough) to draw such iconic characters like the Externals, the MLF, the Dark Riders, the Friends of Humanity, the Six Pack, and about two panels of full-glory Magneto. Poor sap.<BR/><BR/>Nicieza does start dialing it up, though. It's like it took him a couple months to get Liefeld out of his head and start thinking of X-FORCE as his own title. Bringing Deadpool back certainly helped -- Nicieza needs a character with an energetic personality to drive his action, something that Cable sorely lacked, otherwise his plots tend to sag. Likewise, bringing in Rictor upped the team's snappy-banter quotient, and Bobby gave Sam an excuse to display a personality.<BR/><BR/>Funny catch on that music ad. No wonder X-FORCE sucked for so long: too much Paula Abdul!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-36747765934585191792007-10-18T23:26:00.000-04:002007-10-18T23:26:00.000-04:00Crule wants to sever Cannonball’s “five branches” ...<I>Crule wants to sever Cannonball’s “five branches” before he becomes a threat to all of the Externals.
