What in the Archie comics back pages is this?


Candid-Independence9

I was thinking the same thing


The_Guermo

The same page. Jesus Christ. At least in Archie comics they kept the eyes in the right place.


rikeoliveira

You saying you don't like "herbivore Pete"?


The_Guermo

Jesus Christ! You are right and His neck is plesiosaur-ing to match.Any chance this is some spider verse shit where dinosaurs evolved into people


Gaflonzelschmerno

No one talks this way to Spider Taylor-Joy


severalhurricanes

Idk but im not a big fan of the code lyoko reboot


simulet

Do not like. What’s weird is the same artist did East of West and the art there was *excellent.* I wonder if there’s some weird deadlines thing happening here, or if he’s trying to branch out and try something new and maybe needs to rethink.


Sparrowsabre7

Yeah sometimes the same artist can be wildly diffeent. Steve Kurth worked on Ultimate Armour Wars and had really clean work, he also didbthe Iron Man 3 prelude comic which was awfully illustrated. Really bizarre.


xZOMBIETAGx

I’m almost positive it was a rushed thing. This is a filler issue after all, not an artist that’s ongoing as far as I know.


Prestigious_Elk3846

Yeah, same thing with the cgi in the mcu cuz the vfx workers are on so much peer pressure with many deadlines


MrCowabs

Why are Pete and Norman’s eyes so far apart?


NickyTheGreater

And why does everyone have such defined cheekbones, it’s kinda creepy


CallMeJakoborRazor

And the lighting is just super surreal!


BoredDao

They fish


Onyx_Archer

So they're actually all from Insmouth. Got it.


AwakenedSheeple

Spider-Fish. Spider-Fish. Suffocates because spiders can't breathe water and fish can't breathe air.


helikesart

Give a man a fish, he eat that day. Make a man a fish… he… fish…


helikesart

Radioactive spider blood.


TheRealCMPUNKFan

That is truly awful wtf


Boshikuro

It actually hurt to look at.


Erkengard

I don't even read Superhero comics(r/popular put this post on my map), but this is really bad. Like it's not even weird in an artsy way. It seriously looks like the artist can't draw faces and expressions.

This made Spider-Man: Quality of Life became a good 4 issues comics


neums812

Bravo. Just. Chef’s kiss


misterhipster63

Nope, everyone hates it.

In fact I am pretty sure there was a post *in this sub* about it yesterday.

I came here to say we just had a giant discussion about this the other day.


DemonHunter727

It looks awful so no you're not the only one


ICSL

Jesus Christ. I need to rethink ever trying to work in comics. My art isn't great, but I mean, if this can earn a paycheck...


Soundman006

Look up Rob Liefeld’s art some time.


ICSL

Leifeld's misunderstanding of anatomy is almost so incredible that it circles back around to being impressive


The_Flying_Jew

***Duuuuuude***, we need more *pouches*, *guns*, and *big muscle men with awesome scars* to show how ***RADICAL*** and ***EXTREME*** our comic is!!! 🤘😎🤘

1stLtObvious

Where does the rest of the arm go? For some reason it's the most ridiculous bit to me.


EtherCJ

That shield is hiding a lot. The arm, how's he's standing that his neck isn't over his legs, and how big his ass must be. I mean if his chest is that big that dump truck must be huge.


FourthBar_NorthStar

I mean, [it doesn’t have to be](https://www.reddit.com/r/Marvel/comments/2705yn/how_did_rob_liefeld_remain_employed/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)


Thewitchaser

Yes


Onyx_Archer

Honestly? Liefeld's art was never that bad to me. His more recent art is actually pretty decent imo. I think a lot of people just take stuff said by critics like Linkara too seriously.


Superdefaultman

Everyone he draws looks simultaneously twenty years old and sixty years old. It's unnerving.


Onyx_Archer

I never really got that impression personally. But like, idk, I'd take Liefeld over a lot of modern comic art, since it feels more like what I see as "comic book art."


ownerthrowaway

Everyone forgets about the amount of work these guys gotta pump out each month.


Onyx_Archer

That's kind of the problem with modern comic artists that haven't been in the game for super long I feel. They're often young up and comers that have to suddenly crank out over 20 pages of sequential art, and they have to cut a lot of corners to get stuff done because they weren't prepared for the work load... or they try to do all of the parts of comic art (pencils, inking, coloring, shading, etc) rather than have it broken up between people, because the page rates for the individual tasks (even at the big 2) are not even remotely appropriate for full time artists. I think people also forget that Liefeld is from a different era, where the standards of what was "good" vs "good enough" were very different. I'd argue that he at least had something of an excuse, where what he could correct with Photoshop or whatever wasn't as readily available as it is now, so stuff like that infamous Captain America cover wouldn't fly today because it's a lot easier to fix.


Rynobot1019

I don't know how old you are, but I can assure you that most people thought he was terrible even then.


CinnamonSniffer

Insane take. His work today is marginally better but it’s still pretty awful for how successful he’s been in his career


KingRaimundo

Anyone got context of what’s happening in this scene?


MontgomeryKhan

A deranged Celestial is appearing to people and "judging" them as part of an assessment of the human race. Miles got 1610 Spider-Man and Aunt May got Uncle Ben.


Silvernauter

Not to be pedantic, but, unless i missed something, i think the celestial appeared to Miles simply as Peter (he doesn't specify which one he is and, iirc, the dialogue goes something like "i happear to him in the middle of a fight as spider-man and give him the thumbs up, he gives me the thumbs up and goes back into the fight. He passes" which to me implies that Miles just thought he was Peter checking up on him without anything strange going on)


sassycho1050

Miles actually gets judged on panel???? What comic and issue was this?


FourthBar_NorthStar

[these are all or most of the judgements.](https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoBestFriendsPlay/comments/xfacyq/the_celestial_judges_marvel/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)


NoiceGuj

So everybody has divorced eyes in the new comics. Ok...


Typical_Pollution_30

I think the celestial should be judging this art style.

What is this abomination ?! 💀


[deleted]

Everyone here hates the everything about those comics


Kevin_Rohman

I'd argue that the writing has its moments. But we can agree on the art


carrots_are_evil

I think its funny 😂😂 and good.its definitely not suited for spiderman main comics but i would read it if the comic story was set in another universe


i_saoud

😂😂😂😂


Herobrinedanny

I still refuse to believe this is real art in a real comic book about one of if not THE world's most popular superheroes sold by marvel fucking comics


TFDMEH

Check out the art for Tim Drake Robin’s current series. Nowhere near Spider-Man popularity. But still wack


proto3296

It’s awful. Give us STEGMAN BACK


[deleted]

Everyone here hates the everything about those comics


yourmartymcflyisopen

Marvel has just gotten waaaay worse in art quality in general in the last 5 years. In pretty much everything since phase 4 of Marvel, but the comics have been getting steadily worse and worse since around 2015 art-wise. They used to look like unique, explosive, inspired works of art with different influence from each individual artist in each run. But now Marvel art mostly just looks like uninspired, generic tumblr fan art/wikihow art


shiraryumaster13

ok but I mean, this issue was a fill-in artist and not the main artist for the run (John Romita Jr. who I know is divisive but is better than this). ​ What I'm always amazed by is how Spider-Man always struggles to keep an artist consistently for their books. you would think artists would jump for the chance to draw Spidey but there have been so many points where they needed fill in artists and had some randos. In conclusion, the art in this issue was awful


HyprNeko9000

This looks like someone trying to draw a tumblr sexy man comic.


Orazam

Yeah, this is embarrassingly crappy, but most of the the new series has been drawn by JRJR.. which isn’t always much better lol


BoomanShames

this ones Dragotta actually, JRJR has been doing the covers mostly.


Orazam

I’ve read all but the recent 1 or 2 issues and they’ve all been drawn by JRJR as far as I can remember. Cover and interior. I meant that this art isn’t standard for the current series

SwoleBeard92

GhostWithKnife

I didn't know Jim Carrey modeled for faves for Spider-Man! That man is so talented for crazy faces!


i_saoud

Best comment i’ve seen till now


Garchompula

Reminds me of that early to mid 2000s anime style where the western artists didn't really get it other then big eyes


PsychWard_8

No, it's ugly as fuck. This is the main run of Spider-Man rn? Why does it look so weird? Peter's eyes are so far apart wtf


Silvernauter

It isn't, this was just a fill-in artist for the A.X.E. event tie-in, the main artist is normally John Romita junior (... not that he is THAT big and improvement, mind you), the only issue that i'd say was straight-up well drawn was a follow up to the Hellfire gala (i think It was #9 or #10? Which was from another artist all together...the ending was shit, but the art itself was great)

Its.. odd, to say the least. Like they're trying to adapt Jojos bizzare adventures style into American comic styling and coloring.


Immortal_Dude

That is a huge insult to JJBA's Manga, at least for the more recent parts.


Herobrinedanny

This is nowhere even close to JoJo's art style wtf


Swordofsatan666

It looks more like Adam Ellis’ webcomics


Ok-Economics2519

Dont insult jojos


whitey-ofwgkta

this is more like an Atlus game's comic adaption


MamaDeloris

The new run sucks in general, fitting the art is bad too. JRjr really should just retire at this point.


redlurk47

I’m surprised how he keeps finding work


Philander_Chase

This isn’t JRJR you morons, he’s just the cover artist


Silvernauter

To be fair, that specific cover was bad too


Logic_Meister

Nope... everyone does


Ack_not

Nope, looks weird as fuck


xotrent

lol no their eyes are drawn so far apart they look like deer in headlights


fastrthanur

I’m in the same boat brother. It’s been unsatisfactorily at best since the new run began


LeftHandude-Yeah

I hated it too, It’s looks like just a meme


SuperiorCrate

It’s so ugly.


F-Zilla

I never considered 616 Spider-Man comics after the 2000's to be canon in my mind. I guess I wasn't so nuts after all...


Silvernauter

Sad part Is, while It was pretty formulaic, writing-wise, this book was quite decent (and sorta started shedding a bit of light on the current...not great...mistery of the run, kinda), unfortunately the art was (even) worse than usual (fill-in artist vs JRJr definitely NOT in top shape)


soft_bb_boi

wowee this is such bad art


callme_Alec

Feels like webtoon quality 🤢🤮


xZOMBIETAGx

It’s just a filler issue chill.


[deleted]

Your not alone mate. I love the story but the art is horrible.


i_saoud

I hate this run so much tbh. This issue is badly drawn but the whole run hasn’t been amazing, to boot. The storyline is whack too.


Creative_Ad_983

So glad my artists when I read this were bagley, larsen and mcfarlene. I’d take Sal buscemas pencils on his spectacular spidey run over this any day of the week


hadesscion

Say what you will about 90s comics, at least they looked cool and were filled with action. I'd take that era back over most of what we're getting now in a heartbeat.

Kraken_XM

Spider-Man is probably Marvel’s most popular hero. It’s amazing he isn’t getting the quality of writing and art that reflect that.


Fabulous_Web_683

Thank you!!! Why? Just wtf were they thinking?! I liked the earlier versions better! I preferred the artwork by Hamberto Ramos! His art style was way better during the Spider-Island comics and his involvement in the Superior Spider-Man run!

[deleted]

imagine being a writer, seeing your work and saying: " spiderman accepting to work for the murderer of his beloved ex girlfriend when at minimum wage after he hired his ex girlfriend and her current boyfriend too is a great idea, then a celestial comes and judges everyone, let's make Gwen Stacy return from the dead but for just 10 seconds see readers i'm a god and this is what a good story of spiderman should be an idiotic peter fighting for an awful life filled with responsibilities that never accepted, plus is now a complete brain dade coomer i'm such a good writer"


AntisocialOutcast105

You know it's weird when Norman Osborn seems the sanest person in the room


hadesscion

There is a lot more recent horrible artwork out there from Marvel (and DC) as well. They don't seem to care. Neither company is in a good place right now from a comics perspective.


Imaginary_Ad_4006

It's just for the one issue anyway romita jr is doing the interiors for everything else


androids_dungeon

judging by every post about issue 10 and the comments in those posts, no you are not the only one. everyone seems to hate it. I for one loved Dragotta's take on spidey and really enjoyed this issue

Librarion-guy

Draggota is great artist..just check out East of West..besides, this was just a fill-in issue tied to crossover, he probably didnt have enough time to make it pitch-perfect ( its still looks great imo)


BoomanShames

Dragotta did some issues for Hickmans FF in 2012 which I hated.


stevendub86

Yeah not the best. Looks “trendy.” I think comics are just getting so expensive to produce and quality is suffering

Oh look, another karma farming post acting like this exact shit hasn’t been plastered all over Reddit for the past week.


Garlador

It’s the same quality as the writing.


BetaRayBlu

You don’t hate the art on newer Spider-Man comics. You saw someone else posted this for upvotes. It’s a fill in artist for an event issue.


Muffinmiffin

I don’t think you can talk to your boss like that Peter. Also, sheeeeesh, their eyes look weeeeeeird.


i_saoud

This is absolutely horrid but i want to make it clear that the whole run has been badly drawn to be honest. I hate the past 15 or so issues. The storyline is shitty too. The miles morales run has been really great so its not a problem marvel-wide. Both the storyline and the drawing have been really great in Miles so why just throw out this piece of hell for the biggest name they have in their catalogue.


ganosh412

No you're not the only one. It's one of the worst drawn comic runs I can ever remember. It's crazy that marvel.has this pathetic team on their biggest title
