Jim Lee's Top 5 most important comics
Рет қаралды 22,237
Күн бұрынJim Lee. Whether you know him from X-Men, Batman: Hush, The New 52, or as one of the founder's of Image Comics, it's impossible to not know his name as a comics fan. But, in this new series, I will tell the story of his career through just five of his works!
I saw this idea on Rummy's Corner, and wanted to adapt it to the comics industry. A lot of work went into this one, and I just hope it was worth it!

🐶WOOF WOOF! Here it is, the passion project that's been going on for a while now. Jim Lee's Top 5 Notable Works! The series inspired by Rummy's Corner, where I take a creator within the Comic Book Industry and chart the story of their career with just 5 of their books! . I tried my damned hardest with this. Finding interviews, researching comics, I even looked in an encyclopedia! I want to try and push myself to make bigger and better videos, because that should be at the forefront for any channel, so hopefully this is a step in the right direction! . I hope you all enjoy it. A thumbs up is greatly appreciated, along with subscribing if you're new! I would love Jim to see this, and crazier things have happened, so share this video far and wide and lets see what the Doggpound is capable of! . If you want to support the channel, check out OrganicPricedBooks and use code WOOFWOOF for $2 off your order! But until next time, stay Mad, Doggs! WOOF WOOF! 🐶🐶

Some future ideas for top 5 could be bendis, chuck dixon,todd McFarlane, greg capullo,frank Miller, perez and of course youve got to do Alan Moore. That could take multiple videos you could do a whole video just about the watchmen controversy. Theres so much choice.

Hey Marcus, this was great! I love your usual videos on new stuff, whale watch, etc, but I also love geeking out on comic history. So a triple WOOF WOOF WOOF for you on this one, mate! I really enjoy Jim Lee, even though I find the “90s Style” of art a bit too over-the-top most of the time (*ahem* McFarlane) I think Jim Lee manages a great balance of highly stylized but yet still moderately realistic art for action-based comics. Hush is an amazing work, and I am looking forward to the JL New 52 omni coming out soon. Keep up these videos (as long as you don’t kill yourself making them)! Cheers.

Penciler/illustrators almost never get the credit for their contributions in comics. Jim is one of the few who gets proper respect for his work. I have followed his work since the early 90’s and was there for the hight of Jim Lee mania. His talent is so incredible it will often overshadow the quality of the writing. I know we don’t talk about All-Star Batman, but for me, that was some of my favorite Batman art from Jim even though the writing was…problematic. I loved his design on Batgirl from that series so much I had to track down the figure. Hush Jason Todd was another design I loved, but sadly it was the only figure I wanted that I missed out on. Jim, Whilce, Marc, and even Liefeld (to a degree) were legends of that era. They all deserve every single bit of praise they’ve ever received👍🏼

Jim Lee IS modern comics. Singular, a technical genius, and an obviously passionate and committed artist. He isn’t entirely to my taste, I am more left field (Sienkiewicz is probably my fave) but any young penciller who doesn’t have a copy of Hush Unwrapped, and isn’t copying the shit out of this masterpiece just isn’t going to be up to snuff, no matter what stylistic direction they mature into.

Wow, you were not born when X-Men vol 2 no 1… my comics are older than you…. 😂😂😂. Credit to you for doing the research on this ancient history. It would be like me researching Jack Kirby or Neal Adams. Definitely Punisher War Journal was when his art took form with Carl Potts beautifully inking his pencil. Teaming up with Scott Williams is probably the best thing to happen to him artistically. Sadly, most of the stories were not as memorable as his art. Some of his Uncanny X-Men books with Chris Claremont are probably the closest to one two punch. He doesn’t have something like Alex Ross with Marvels or Kingdom Come where the whole package is an instant classic even if issue 1 of X-Men is still the number one selling comic; the story is forgetful.

The split to image was not a good move for any of these artist. People have too big egos and it ruins them. Some people dont understand their lane properly. You are an artist not a business owner. Two different skills Seems like these artist thought they could create a business from the ground up and also work in that same business as the employee at the same time. I feel like they over step a little too much here. Should have stayed with marvel and continued these awesome pieces of work. Imagine how or where X-men would be today if they did that.
