^^^ya i had it early, i didn't like the issue in overall development of the storyline but the art continues to be great, it just starting to feel drawn out and him just beating the shit out of red skull, killing him and then jetting back to california...the pacing was off or something, it just didn't feel as epic as it should have.
millar's real hit or miss for me, more misses, but i did like 1985, enemy of the state and the year long spider-man series he did was good (i have the oversized hardcover, they should've followed up on the idea of the supervillians being covertly funded by government and industry to keep the heroes distracted that scorpion mentions)
alot of his stuff to me has some good concepts but is just too generic action movie ish for my tastes, (like in the newest old man logan, the fact that he finally pops his claws because his family were killed was a predictable beat, and now the story will climax with him mutiliating the hulk kids...i'll buy this in hardcover when that inevitably comes out though, mcniven has just murdered the artwork here)
ya McNiven is a beast, might be my favorite artist right now, although idk...theres a few.
I think McN-s grimey as an artist. millar has the same feel to me as bendis, like they don't get writers block so their ill shit is almost all relative to themselves. but with OML I think its overall pretty illy.
i think Millar is miles ahead of Bendis.
^^^i think they're both hit or miss (would rather read warren ellis, brubaker or morrison, or alan moore of course lol), where's kick-ass though? i miss that book.
sure hit & miss but i think Millar is more consistant.
brubaker= blagh.
i can't understand how he has a job. he is so damn dull it upsets me.
Kick ass was dope dope dope! too many delays though
^^^brubaker dull? have you read criminal? or incognito? or his captain america?
that's some of the best stuff marvel puts out...his x-men wasn't all that but it's alot better than what matt fraction is doing.
and millar's fantastic four run has been awful.
whatever happened to bendis and maleev's spider-woman? wtf?
i don't know, i think i'd take bendis if i had to choose...his dialogue is better and his plotting is a little more deliberate and not so much, 'throw shit at the wall and see what sticks'...millar, by his own admission, thinks up what he feels are cool action scenes or set pieces and then tries to build a story around those, and it shows.Quote:

i also gotta disagree with the Fraction comparison (save Deadly Genesis)... you read Iron Fist? i think he's getting better after the abysmal war journal.
wow i didnt think i could disagree so much about bendis....i think his dialogue is sometimes horrible, it seems at times that he is trying to much to achieve a hipster feeling, and it shows IMO. but i like Brubaker, and incogneto is Neato...eloels.

^^^well you know i've criticized bendis before, and i agree he definitely tries to be too hip for the room, but i'd say alot of current marvel writers are guilty of that, especially matt fraction (and iron fist is the shit, duane swiercyzsnki writes it now though) and mark millar is just as guilty, though i'd say he tries too hard to make everything badass and jaw-dropping, he's like the comics equivalent of tony scott (jeph loeb would be michael bay, now he's the absolute worst of the lot, maybe one of the worst comic writers of modern times, i think we'd all agree)
bendis writes a funny ass spider-man, so he gets my thumbs up for that, but he did run dr strange and scarlet witch into the ground so he gets my hate for that lol
honestly i prefer wordy stuff, i'm more a fan of dialogue and narration than action scenes, which is probably why i like more vertigo and independent stuff right now.
i can't stand uncanny x-men at all precisely for the hipster dialogue and narration, i like fraction's iron man stuff though
im the same way with the dialogue, i prefer that kinda stuff since i work on screenplays, and ur right about Millar with the action shit....also i def. agree with the Loeb thing...smh..eloels.
