X-O Manowar #13 discussion thread

[Knightt]

I'm not a "teen-aged girl" but.....

I was raised with brothers. It's more natural for me to hang around a bunch of comic-reading, farty (assuming) and sometimes uncouth dudes such as yourselves.

Nooooowww, I get it. And here I thought you were a guy posting like a girl. You ARE a girl.

OK, I'll cool it (a bit), I don't want to come off as (totally) uncouth...

I'm not saying I am going going to curtail my entire schtick, but I can coo it... so keep that in mind. Roger that ?

I'm constantly throwing Canadian slurs around. I'm downright genocidal.

Dallow is right, I'm not sure Knightt speaks English as well as erwinrafael.

You racist PIG... you know, that $#!t gets old, quick. But if I was a teenage girl, I'd be so hot for you right now... good thing, I'm a lesbian.

(eh, how was that ?)

Ya know, my mother is Canadian... but ya don't hear me complaining about yer slurs. I think they're cute.

About the art: I like Cary Nord's drawing style, but he's still getting up to speed on inking. It's a bit heavy at times and looks better without the coloring, judging by his instagram shots of the process. I still think the art is better than a lot of what is on the market.

I went back and looked at #13 and it's inked heavily and has crosshatching all over the place.

Then I cracked open issue #1 and compared the two side by side: There is no doubt about it, the art is much better when Nord is not inking his own book.

I'm not interested in watching him get up to speed, he can practice outside of my $4 comic book.

Somebody posted his work, pencils straight to colors and I thought it looked great. Maybe they should go that route.

So upon second inspection, no doubt about it, the needle on the Scratchy Line Meter is approaching the Liefeld zone all the way to the right. That's gotta go.

Rubbish... Issue #13 is a masterpiece, a wonder to behold.

Oh wait... wrong thread.

I'm not a "teen-aged girl" but the "anything negative is related to a woman" stuff gets old.

Not a fan of later Cerebus, then?

Don't get all butt-hurt about my opinion. (oh - and in reference to another thread that says something about women not liking that term, etc - wrong. I use it when it fits the situation.)

As the person who started that thread, and in the name of clarity I have to point out that I made no claims about how any women other than my wife feel about the term. I was just expressing how that particular expression gets under my wife's skin and is in no way indicitive of how all womankind feels about the phrase "butt-hurt".

Well Tim I think you need to re-assess your line of thinking on this issue, get to the bottom of the problem and come up with a proper endstate before you end up looking like an @$$hole. This is a delicate topic, mister.

Alls well that ends well.

[Tim]

Looking like an a$$hole is something I've never had too much difficulty pulling off.
