Shooter began providing breakdowns for Zeck because he felt that Zeck "struggled with scenes that portrayed the grand, cosmic scale that the story demanded."

I seem to recall some of the crossovers were well liked. It was just the central mini-series that people hated.

It's a high tech global communicator... operates by the power of the dime!

Oh, the art is bad, Mike Zeck or no! All those tiny figures! Shooter's ideal comic page would be just a bunch of medium shots with 2-inch high figures beneath huge word balloons. 🤦‍♂️

I genuinely don't hate it. I mean, I'm in no hurry to read it again, having read it last year, but it was kinda fun... mostly. I still haven't read Secret Wars II though. Maybe I should when I reach the Iron Man crossover....

RAM, GPUs, and now hard-drive prices are all skyrocketing thanks to demand from guess what... everyone's sweetheart, AI data centres! 🙄

Ringo did kind of a variation of it which I liked.

How about you?

I've always been very partial to how George Pérez drew him.

And yes, I am slightly obsessed with the visual development of The Thing, as my drawing from a few years ago shows:

... an hour just inking Doom's gun on this page from FF #84. And he would put details in his work like the fine lines radiating outwards from Reed's pupils that were barely visible on the final printed page.

... first person to make the Thing look truly rocky. Up until then, Ben's skin was softer and lumpier under Dick Ayers' smoother inks, more dinosaur-hide than craggy rocks. However, George Roussos' "get-it-done" attitude was the other end of the spectrum from Joe Sinnott, who apparently spent...

Heh... I kind of like it with the proper colours. It's not as dramatic, maybe, but I never really understood the reasoning behind the all-red cover.

"Behold..." Avengers #57, debut of my favourite Avenger.

Congrats! Always satisfying to complete a run.
