@ManFirestorm Agree with more abstract art style. All the artist on Marvel books have a “sameness” to them.

These days I'm interested in more abstracted art styles, say a Tradd Moore or Rafael Grampa. New abstracted style art has a freshness and creativity to it that can't be based on tracing.
I find it disappointing but not surprising to hear that tracing has become common

First off, thanks for the thoughtful response.
I do see the differences in art, it shows up for me in the folds of the clothing, the naturalistic poses, the shading and cast shadows, and the hair.
Though, to be fair, comparing anyone to Perez is a bit unfair, LOL.

It was the Spider-Man one. As I said- this has been going on for nearly 30 years so depending on how long youve been around, you may have never or rarely seen comics that haven't been traced, or been drawn to look as if they have been traced. Tracing is the only accepted style now. People act like Greg Land was the only guy, but its almost everyone- and comics have lost their illustrated look. Heres a picture of JSA done in the prehistoric before times (like 1981 or so): can you see the difference? Also some other giveaways are the costumes and posing. Poses drawn from imagination have energy and attitude, and communicate emotionally.. but are not realistic. Costumes on illustrated images are invented- you rarely see a knit turtleneck and a little ballcap like Sandman is wearing in the traced image.

I will say: haven’t heard a peep of “what is John Lynch doing?” from anyone who is an active participant in this draft. (And that’s the exact kind of thing someone who texts me would say.)
This draft is a wasteland.

@timkawakami Kyle's biggest short coming is never getting the QB situation fixed. Walsh found Montana, and was brilliant enough to see the potential in Young. Kyle has been to willing to settle for an "okay" QB assuming his scheme will overcome them.
English
I guess so, but there's never ever ever going to be somebody who's coaching the 49ers and compares well to Walsh. Never ever.
Not ever. Ever ever.

@timkawakami Interesting comparison to Walsh and the pressure he felt from Eddie to multiple Super Bowls.

@DaveTho55529017 Loved the Forgotten One’s outfit. Why they put him in that crazy horn helmet in Avengers?

Good covers from yesteryear

@BackintheBronze Was the Magneto X-Men every made? Sad no one ever brought back the FF with alternate powers.

Spurs looking for wing depth & shooting (everyone is), Sochan wants out, Keon, Saric (expiring contract) for Sochan is a simple swap and Kings/Spurs are familiar partners.
This convo also brought up a larger question, is Keon Ellis a “wing” 🤔 @Sactown1140

The #49ers allowed more TD passes (29) than sacks and INTs combined on defense (26). Only other team to do that was Jets (36 TDs to 26 sacks/INTs)

The Chargers were the only defense with more interceptions (19) than pass TD allowed (16) in 2025. @chargers | #BoltUp

@timkawakami This is an A+ reference and that it received only 2 likes is a disgrace.

@BackintheBronze There was a brief run with Marshall Rodgers art in 1981 that was beautiful.

@BackintheBronze Wanted to see more of this and the Iron Avengers from issue 3?

More art from What If Vol 1 #6! A crazy tale from Roy Thomas, Jim Craig, Rick Hoberg, Sam Grainger and others!

What If #6! An alternate FF...
This What If featuring the FF with different power sets was a favorite of mine from Back in the Bronze Age!
Always wanted to see Dragonfly, Mandroid, Ultra-Woman and Big Brain make it into the mainstream 616 for a spell!

@MarvelDailyArt All any writer had to do was say Prof Horton had another Human Torch model instead of the stupid Immortus split.
English
Look, I can’t really summarize this issue. It’s attempting to retcon the original Human Torch’s death and the Vision’s origin. When they start talking about Immortus and the ghost of the Human Torch, you know the story has gone off the rails! #marvel #westcoastavengers
