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.
Fanboyz Unite!
that 2nd iron man cover is tough
by all means dallas get that trade! adam warren made tony stark and SHIELD tech in that story what they always should have been: futuristic funk. ifi’m correct, there is an issue in that trade that has the armor fighting a flotilla that is timed to a rock song by either Iggy Pop or some other rocker. overall, it’s worth the money.
John,
Thanks for the co-sign. I’ll copp the trade this week. Adam Warren’s Bubblegum Crisis shit was futuristic fireverks so I’m sold like gold.
I need to peep that Misty Knight series too.
