Re: Marvel.com's preview of Ultimate X-Men #84
Love love LOVE the artwork! Best i've seen on this title, in a loooooong time.
I *think* Paquette has finally managed to get the characters' physiques down to something manageable, which had been his main flaw, in his previous work.
Even in Bulleteer, where ridiculous, super-human bodies were meant to be part of the storyline, it looked ugly and out of place.
But otherwise, he does faces and body language well, and the dynamic exaggeration of his action sequences fits the direction the storyline is going it.
Oh, and without the detail, the cover kinda looks like it might be a Mike Allred drawing -- specifically, X-Statix or X-Force. Of course, I think that's a good thing, being one of the few people on this board who's totally in awe of Allred's illustrations.
