I cant see this on any other topic so I thought I would stick it up here to see if anyone else has heard this? apologies if this has been done to death but sometimes I cant get here for days and miss things.

Anyway, according to Comics International, The artists on Gails story will be Dan Jurgens and Andy Smith.

I know Dans work but whats Andy done?

Simone and Jurgens on the Legion . [Love]

Jurgens?

No complaints from me. I don't have that much experence of his work, but I've heard good things about it though.

Although I did hear that it was gonna be Ethan Van Schrivner. And yes, I know I got his surname wrong. [Frown]

GAAAH! NO MORE DAN AND ANDY's ON LEGION! [AHHHH!!!!]

...j/k... [Big Grin]

Andy's just coming off penciling THE FIRST for CrossGen... his style's very remeniscent of Bart Sears'. He started as an inker, I believe, and I remember liking his inks. Which is a good thing if Jurgens and Smith are Gail's art team, because I have problems with Dan's work when he inks himself or is paired with a Rubenstein-type finisher.

I can't say this is the first team I'd want on LEGION, especially in light of losing Chris and Chip, but I'm willing to give the finished product a chance.

Jurgens' art I remember most from his Spidey clone saga days. Where, while generally strong (he did a great Spidey in-costume), he had the tendancy to give every male the exact same face and every female the exact same face.

And, of note, this is what he said when asked in a recent interview about "what did the future hold":

In the immediate sense, Thor, a JLA project, something more at DC and something at Top Cow.
The (non-JLA) DC "something more" could easily be a Legion pencilling stint I suppose.

The only comic-art thing I remember to do with an Andy Smith was the pencilling of half of Uncanny X-Men 350. Could be getting mixed up on that tho.

Dan Jurgens did the Legion/Titans crossover, UNIVERSE ABLAZE.

He did TALES OF THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #320-325. There's more than that, but that's the most I can find right now.

I've always liked Dan's art. Especially his BOOSTER GOLD series. Beautiful!

Dan also did a number of Legionnaires for the Who's Who in the DCU series! You can check out his art in our very own Encyclopedia Galactica forum!

So ANOTHER former Legion artist returns to the fold! Cool with me. It was the STORY I disliked in Universe Ablaze, not the art.

The only criticism I have of Jurgen's art is that all of his character's costumes have basically the same design. He's pretty consistent, though. No streaky, dirty, grimy stuff with him.

New interview with Dan Jurgens, here.

And with a NICE looking page from his Legion arc. I agree with his assesment that the Legionniares needed some "beefing up."
 
Posted by Tromium Crystal on :
 
Beefing up is okay but but now they look 25-30, and Violet's absolutely zaftig. Too much of a good thing, imo.

Questionable statement of the week:

"Karate Kid has some cool scenes too. I always love the concept of one guy, with no real powers, who can go take apart an army. It’s a lot more dramatic that the "point the hand and create a wimpy effect" power that so many of ‘em have."

Dan, give me Wildfire's or Live Wire's "wimpy effects" over Karate Kid's inane pummeling any day of the week.

A bit off topic, has anyone heard any details about the mysterious Adam Hughes cover to #35?

Not yet. And I'm monitoring his Yahoo Group which is supposed to get the first look at any of his work before publication. I believe Dean has joined me over there as well. One of us will post the cover as soon as Adam releases it.

Given his rep, I think we can count on some long awaited nudity! Legion in a brown paper wrapper.
