although he says he was trying to be jim lee in the 90's (which everybody was)every time they had a new artist for a major book like x-men the new guy had to emulate the former one for a while and little by little he would move into his own style and jim lee did a great job emulating mark's and going beyond but to me he still has mark's signature all over his art even today.

Man... I'm glad Marc said it himself. I thought the same thing when he started working for Image: this is not Marc Silvestri artwork... this is Marc trying to do the "Image" (a.k.a. Jim Lee) style. Some people back in the day thought I was bonkers.

My favorite Silvestri art was his early X-Men stuff. That scratchy almost unfinished look. I know, his stuff got better. More polished. But I just really enjoyed the old stuff.

I remember when Image Comics first began in 1992. I remember seeing the first issues of the Image Comics at the Comic book Stores and the Newsstands. Even though sometimes the Image Comics were late, It was still gratifying to seeing something that was brand new and different. I remember when The Image comics 1992 Imprint was new that time.

I collected comics for at least twenty years. In the beginning it was because of the characters. Eventually it became the artists and writers as well as the characters. In the last third of my collecting i followed mainly artists and writers. I assume a lot of people still do this. Was any of this stuff really well written, were the characters interesting? Not really. But the art was amazing. That's why I bought them. That's why most people bought them. I think we would be telling a different story if Image could have kept on point and kept on schedule. Being ridiculously late is what sank most of their books.

Yeah comics was like movies.everyone watched terminator, predator because Arnold, and sly in Rambo. They wanted to see the actor, and that’s how comics was and kinda still is. Like I was only getting books because the artist. Movies now, it’s all about what character is it, but comics still has artist and writer that I’m attracted to. But Movies are sad now, and we have marvel to thank for that.

Silvestri was my favorite x-men artist. He had better writing than Jim Lee did (even with the same writer) who was fine but got tired of Lee's excessive pinup poses in his art. Hope he's still drawing.

@filipbabic4913 4 жыл бұрын
@@dylan8443 Sorry for the long response, my top 10 recomendations would be: 10.Jonathan Hickman's East of West (slow story but it was interesting to say the least) 9.Justin Jordan's Luther Strode (seriously violent so just be prepared for a lot of blood) 8.Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead (good zombie book, but I never understood the hype) 7.Brian K Vaughn's Paper Girls (the coloring is really good) 6.Kuro The Artist's 5 Years Later (its a web comic but its a nostalgia trip if you ever watched Ben 10 and Danny Phantom) 5. Todd MacFarlane's Spawn (you can watch the HBO show if you dont feel like reading the first 10-20 issues, plus Kieth David is a win) 4.Rob Guillory's Chew (guy eats stuff, thats all the hints you get) 3.Brian K Vaughn's Saga (trust me when I say you'll love it, and you'll understand why many fans STILL WAIT FOR THE 2nd PART OF THE COMIC TO CONTINUE) 2.Garth Ennis's The Boys (this is heavy R rated and its much more crazy than the show, it also has a very interesting take on superheroes) 1.Robert Kirkman's Invincible (my #1 favorite comic ever, recomend you should read it before the animated show releases later this year)

If you want to get technical, Aardvark-Vanaheim provided the blueprint that Mirage copied for TMNT, right down to the talking animals operating in a world of humans (Cerebus.) Image copied Dave Sim's original intention for A-V being a creator-owned self-publishing house; they were just way more successful.
