Lastnite on the Combat Jack Show, Complex Magazine’s Editor-In-Chief Noah Callahan-Bever was kicking it about some of his favorite comicbook artists. He mentioned Todd McFarlane and Rob Liefeld as his heavy influences in the genre. I’m more a fan of older generation artists like Neal Adams, John Byrne and Frank Miller, but when I think of the newer generation artists whose work I enjoy I look at Adam Warren.
Warren was the dude who adapted the Dirty Pair into a comicbook series. His artwork is heavily directed by anime and manga illustrations. I appreciate it for the graffiti compositions I see inside of it. Warren acts as a storyteller in a similar fashion and retains a frenetic storyline to match his storyboards. I’m excited to see he has done a series with Marvel’s Iron Man character titled ‘Hypervelocity’.
I’m gonna copp the trade on Amazon unless someone has read it already and tells me that I shouldn’t bother.
