OK, I admit it. I
enjoy Brian M. Bendis’ writing, I get a
kick out of the Guardians of the Galaxy (especially after seeing the film) and I’m
a big fan of Marvel Comics’ Avengers (no matter who is a member.)
And it’s true that Guardians Team-Up #1 delivers all
three. But the main reason I bought this
issue (and the next.) is because of who is drawing it.
I absolutely love Arthur Adams’ art! I’ve followed his career since his early days
from his first illustration in DC Comics’ directory of characters where he drew
Dolphin to his break-out hit Longshot from Marvel Comics.
Once again Arthur proves his incredible drawing talent in a brand new story packed with so
much detail and crisp clean lines that (according to the book’s credits) no
inker was required. Scans were actually
taken form his pencils! Now that’s tight
control.
Is there anything Arthur cannot draw? Aliens, women, vehicles, environments, visual
effects and killer page layouts-he does them all--and very well. Feast your
eyes and take in every detail. I know I
am.
Whatever you do, do not miss this
(and the next) issue.
