Why are opinions on Frank Miller's art so goddamned retarded?
It's always
>He was NEVER good!
or
>HIs art is still really good! It's just the coloring that's bad.
>>
Both can be true you dozy cunt.
>>
>>155054016
The former is usually said by midwits with a superficial standard of art and the latter is usually said by either shills or people on copium watch

>he was never good but he was really good it's just the coloring that's bad

>>155054016
While I don't think digital coloring does the guy any favors, I don't think that spate of variant covers was very good. To give him the benefit of the doubt, I think he's making a specific stylistic choice, but it kind looks pretty bad.

For one, he attracts a lot of pol related bullshit.

He was always good. He is still good.

He is good. People who dislike him only wants corporate and sanitazed art ALA greg land.

He was never good he just had shit tier paneling that was novel at the time.

Tell that to the people saying his new art looks good.
>>
He was already starting to show the crudeness that would mark his current work by the 90's(even the 80's), he was just doing more elaborate compositions and Lynn Varley was helping a lot. All these modern covers don't really have any backgrounds and just have single characters so in a vacuum those flaws are way more apparent.
>>
>>155063259
Also, his inks and poses are flimsier.

Dark Knight strikes again was the biggest "WTF" moment from his own loyal fans. I remember when it came out people online were asking "did he have a stroke? Is he ok?"

Yikes, that's bad.

The joker kept wearing weird different outfits and then turned out to be dick greyson an then batman called him a loser and threw him into a volcano.

Strikes again is one of my favourite Miller books art wise, like both of these panels are just gorgeous to me

John Romita Jr is his style legit looks ugly as fuck without traditional coloring techniques. Lemme show you what some guy from Twitter did
Fucking night and day
These digital coloring is butchering his linework

he's the GOAT
nobody can do motion like him

Specifically , Joker(Robin) was wearing other hero costumes( and Mr Mxy), mostly teen heroes, maybe as a riff on Robin being the original teenage/kid superhero.

Who was in the right?

(also lel at batman doesnt kill, it seems only Snyder read this shit)
>>
>>155075927
Frank legitimately loves Snyder, so I can imagine him encouraging him to raise hell and make fanboys mad.
>>
>>155076644
He's too nice to terrible writers.

JRjr is also great when paired with a talented colourist. I always think of this page from the New Avengers run
>>
>>155077258
He likes ballsy artists more than technically skilled writers.
>>
>>155070070
That's not a good page.

Danny Miki made his work look great in All Star back in 2016 (?)
>>
>>155070070
>>155056889
This looks VERY nice. And the Deadpool on the OP looks cool
>>155054016
Come on
>>
>>155078448
The Elektra page looks great, but the TDKSA panel looks awful, same as the Deadpool in the cover. How can you not tell the difference in quality?
>>
>>155079085
I don't want perfect anatomy anon. Or even something that resembles to what most people will call normal. It has a very striking style, with a zany and crude energy. Far more interesting than the safe style other artists have
>>
>>155079390
>It has a very striking style, with a zany and crude energy.
His older stuff had that.
This >>155070070 does not. It's low-energy and cheap-looking.
Artists SHOULD contort anatomies and fuck with perspective, but it has to be done deliberately and giving as much as needed to maximize the effect. Miller's post-9/11 art looks like he didn't bother with that, instead producing a half-assed version of his trademark jaggedness.

All of us, and the writers and editors too.

I think I wrote it off as he was experimenting with a new style and it didn't gel.

>>155068076
He did have a stroke.
It was a stroke causing brain damage called 9/11 .

>Lynn Varley was helping a lot
Most of his best work is done without her. Other than DKR and 300 her colors ruined a lot of his work.
>>
>>155054016
Miller art has sucked ass for years now
>>
>>155085448
Ronin and Elektra Lives Again also used Lynn Varley and they looked great.
TDKSA had horrible inks and colors, so it was on both of them.
>>
>>155086390
Yeah, since like the early 2000s.
>>
>>155086578
>>155085448
DKSA was Miller intentionally asking Varley to color the way she did and use as many filters and effects she could find on photoshop. Miller has this obsession with the 70's days of comics when he started where colors were still done by non-artistic women as a day job in a studio laying out color separations without color theory.

You should legitimately get into manga. You'll get much more enjoyment out of it than you do with comics.
