Why does DC Comics keep giving work to artists that should clearly be done alredy?
I'm talking Ivan Reis, Dan Jurgens, Ethan Van Sciver, Doug Mahnke, Gary Frank, David Finch, Jim Lee. They just feel old. They did and occasionally they still do some pretty solid works, but most of the time is just ugly and hardly readable (see: Superman #14).
The colours and inks don't help them either. It all feels so dated...
I think they should make them do covers and shit, but in an ongoing they're just bland.

Compared to a lot of talent that Marvel pushes, I still much prefer these guys.
I agree somewhat, though. I'm a huge Reis fan, and all the work I've seen him featured in this past year has been a bit irking. I wonder if it's genuinely a drop in quality or some new shift in DC's inner-workings and schedulings (Rebirth).
Have you any artists in mind that should be the new generation?
Hell, I'm not even talking about actual age, I'm discussing the way they draw. Way too-- 90s, if you ask me.
Jaxon Evans
>Gleason, ACO, Albuquerque, Manapul, Mitch Gerads, Kollins. Then read Image and leave DC alone. I like those artists too though
Angel Williams
I'm very passionate about DC characters. But I also read Image quite a lot. What's your point m8?
Grayson Powell
so that's where the face comes from
Luke Rivera
>artists who are older than me? They stink!
John Anderson
It's not that hard being older than me desu. So no, not really. But nice try!
Chase Roberts
>realistic = grimderp I remember this meme.
Easton Young
>i'm against a buzzword that wasn't even said
Jonathan Martin
But it was implied, son.
Anthony Adams
>Mahnke >Reis >Frank >90s
Brandon James
Aco is Marvel now.
Eli Adams
Pic related is David Finch, who's always been shit.
Jose Peterson
I know
Justin Bell
That's also true
Cooper Bennett
Then read Marvel.
Jose White
I read Marvel. I just prefer DC.
Sebastian Allen
You be careful nigga, I'm a karateka.
Ryder Gray
>I read Marvel
Caleb Hernandez
I don't think this looks bad. I've seen far worse. I hate when they change artist mid issue
Hudson Howard
Me too. Nu52 haters used it to defend those tumblr hacks that are working at Marvel now.
Michael Edwards
One of the boasts of Kingbats is the consistent art teams. King confirmed the next artists after I Am Bane is Fabok on the epilogue, then back to Janin for another arc.
Brody Wilson
gotta love that vision and ultimates m9
Ethan Campbell
>ultimates Double faggot.
Logan Murphy
It's not that bad what's so fundamentally broken about it?
Ian Butler
I love DC but even I admit I haven't been impressed with any of their artists in terms of craft and storytelling. Save Maybe for Jorge Jiminez, Ivan Reis, and Juan Ferreyra.
I read Marvel mostly for Artists now.
Michael Scott
>I read Marvel >mostly for Artists Fucking casuals.
Andrew Brooks
Ivan Reis is not old and is very appreciated. You're either a shitposter or an ignorant child. It's time you understood that for cape comics, that style is the one that most people want to read.
Xavier Long
EVS definitely needs to get his shit together. His covers and interiors lately have been getting pretty bad.
Jason Young
Aco does some cool layouts but his charterers are THE stiffest ever. He's one of the most obvious poser users in the business.
Xavier Lee
He blames non-Drumpf voters.
Daniel Flores
>He's one of the most obvious poser users in the business
There are much worse people than him. Deodato for one.
Thomas Scott
>OP was attacking based Mahnke and praising a Poserfag is right.
Ayden Evans
>reading comics makes you a casual Say what you will about it's writing, but Moon Knight has THE best art right now out of any Big Two comic. Reading a comic for the writer and artists is what you should do, unless your a characterfag who buys shit like Slott Spider-Man simply because "he's my favorite superhero!!!"
Lincoln Butler
>Rosmo >Manapul >Tommy Lee Edwards >Evely >Schmidt
Rebirth in general; is very meh. But there's enough quality artist at Dc. And I'll take the likes of Reis, Fabok or Frank over whoever's drawing Hellcat, Squirrel Girl, Wasp or the likes of Ramos, Coipel or Marquez.
Jacob Wilson
>Lumping Coipel with Ramos
Whoa there user
Adam Hall
Smallwood has improved greatly, but Manapul is still better.
Jaxson Nelson
I'm not lumping him with Ramos, just saying that I'd take Reis over Coipel any day.
Jeremiah Ramirez
They all worked during the 90's tho.
Oliver Gomez
Heh, "small wood".
Mason Jones
>Reading a comic for the writer Which you aren't. >your And it shows.
Logan Barnes
>if they worked during the 90s, they automatically suck
Julian Butler
Yes. Fuck Duncan Fegredo, Jill Thompson, Sam Kieth, Chris Bachalo, Frank Quitely, Sean Phillips or Glyn Dillon.
Thomas Cooper
That's not what I said. Shit reading comprehension there, broseph.
James Reyes
>most of the time is just ugly and hardly readable > Way too-- 90s, if you ask me.
Blake Hughes
I'm not OP, dumdum, I'm just correcting you.
Henry Gray
>I'm not OP Prove it.
James Roberts
lol how
Use 4chanX if you don't believe me, although I don't see why I'd lie about that.
Justin Cooper
>Use 4chanX if you don't believe me Don't you mean chrome magic?
David Young
No proof? Then poof.
Elijah Thompson
Whatever, point is, spotting samefagging is pretty easy and lying about it is pointless.
William Brooks
Oh noes, Anonymous #88938238 in Sup Forums doesn't believe me! Whatever shall I do with my life now?!
Julian Murphy
Finch haters are memers. They """hate""" Finch because it's cool to do so. Finch is a solid artist.
Dylan Taylor
I love that for the last few years DC's best consistent artist( as in can handle more than a oneshot or a mini) was Capullo, a guy they stole from Spawn
Jack Reed
Just fuck off. Only people that are complaining about traditional artists are the hipsters who don't buy comics or talentless tumblr webcomic hacks.
No one will buy Batman if it's drawn by Erica Henderson.
Noah Anderson
>No one will buy Batman if it's drawn by Erica Henderson. No one's asking for that though, learn to read before shitposting please.
Luis Jones
Keep crying faggot. They aren't going anywhere.
Daniel Bennett
>Ivan Reis Isn't he best artist aside with Fabok?
Hudson Martin
Reis is the best traditional artist of the comic industry. But I wouldn't call him the best of DC.
Carter Jenkins
>crying Man, reading comprehension really is a though one for you to crack, ain't it?
Ethan Robinson
He looks like Uncle Fester
Jaxson King
Nothing to crack about. You are whiny hipster crybaby.
Robert Stewart
When in doubt, ad hominem, I guess.
Nathaniel Long
Jesus, kid.
Sebastian Reyes
The delusion of most fans is that talent or ability has anything to do with getting hired. Monthly artists get jobs 95% based on being able to reach deadlines and having an in at the company.
Think of it like politicians. Being the best person for the job means nothing, the bosses being able to depend on you and having contacts is all that matters.
Carson Lee
>Doug Mahnke, Gary Frank Two of my favorite artists. >Dan Jurgens Does solid work and can stick to a monthly schedule. Good enough for me.
More like The Hills Have Eyes
David Smith
Because they are the most popular artists of the past and can sell comics with their name alone. And they're still better than most of the young talent anyway. And DC has a lot of other great artists.
It's better than the alternative, not trying to start company wars, over at Marvel where they keep giving Deodoto, Land, and Ramos work.
Also, I'd take Reis, EVS, and Mahnke over most other artists any day of the week.
