True. At least most of the times.

LOL, I thought it was a typo :D

At least it seems we're on the same page with this.

I'm currently following Avengers: Children's Crusade, which I absolutely love. And I've been reading X-Factor since 2006 or 2007.

If you're including Vertigo in your DC list, then yes, there are a lot of good titles. Unwritten is probably my favorite.

Its good, I liked it and will read the next one.
Mostly setup, but interesting. Some action, many characters got introduced. Liked Arkadi the most.

My only complain is the lack of panel dynamics.

Captain Swing and the Electric Pirates of Cindery Island

Felt a bit thin. Might have been better served as a novella.


Fables Volume 16: Super Team
Image

Total cop out on the super team build up, but I'm glad the Mr. Dark stuff seems to be be over.


The Death-Ray

Even Clowes superheros are hopelessly sad and pathetic. :lol:

Talking about creator owned stuff... Guys, I need your opinions. I'm posting three different versions of the first page of one of my stories. Two are done by an artist from Spain, and the other one by a Peruvian artist. Which one do you like the most?

OK.

I'm guessing (if you had to choose) the one you don't like is the third one ?

#2, but this is not a particularly good page to try and compare artists with.
