And speaking of songs, there's nothing wrong with loving the Bee Gees.<br /><br />The art in this comic was just odd. It's like the artist was desperately trying to do J. Scott Campbell or Art Adams crossed with Humberto Ramos, but he didn't have any of their consistency (like that finale) or ability to exaggerate designs well. But I don't think that a better artist would've saved this. You get the sense that the team didn't want this to be a "serious" book, but they couldn't be bothered to actually work any real whimsy or humor into it.<br /><br />Unfortunately, now I'm curious to see if there's any RL 22 Brides music floating around there and see if it mirrors the comic for sheer badness.Melahttp://melashaan.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-9540018547163889252009-11-05T22:27:37.472-06:002009-11-05T22:27:37.472-06:00I still don't understand why are there only 8 ...<i>I still don't understand why are there only 8 girls and they call themselves 22 Brides.</i><br /><br />The rest are still on honeymoon. :)ShadowWing Tronixnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-80111221853712124132009-11-05T21:17:33.000-06:002009-11-05T21:17:33.000-06:00Did someone called for a 22 Brides to be drawn by ...Did someone called for a 22 Brides to be drawn by Humberto Ramos?<br /><br />Check out this link:<br />http://www.atomicavenue.com/Atomic/TitleDetail.aspx?TitleID=7255Zakinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-72486213932238329682009-11-05T00:26:02.264-06:002009-11-05T00:26:02.264-06:00I still don't understand why are there only 8 ...I still don't understand why are there only 8 girls and they call themselves 22 Brides.

But Joe Q has done a lot of good as a writer, an artist, and even as an editor. <br /><br />Probably especially as an editor, since the quality of the average Marvel book and the Marvel talent pool has sharply increased since Joe Q became editor in chief, profound mistakes like OMD notwithstanding.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17773416732192167277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-5230032744287650582009-11-03T11:41:05.018-06:002009-11-03T11:41:05.018-06:00Can you still call Fabian Nicieza a good writer if...Can you still call Fabian Nicieza a good writer if THREE of his comics have so far appeared Atop The Fourth Wall?
