COMICS: A New Man Of Steel? First Look At Geoff Johns And JRJr's SUPERMAN #36

What the heck is the Dark Elf dude from Thor doing in DC?

i usually enjoy jrjr's art but here it just looks lazy

ew

Lame

I can't even begin to tell you how much I hate JRJR's art.

It's really strange seeing John Romita Jr. drawing DC. His Superman looks way too Superboy, or maybe it's just this horrible new 52 turtleneck costume.

Gusto...what exactly did you do to Joe over the weekend?

@McGee

Gusto would not let me use the LightFlesh first........he is so greedy and selfish when he is drunk!

I haven't read this New 52 junk in years...won't start now

That cover...he looks like a Muppet on steroids

It's always fun to see 90% of the comments on comics be "Ugh, what the hell is going on here?!" and yet the biggest purist douche bags or "true fans" are on CBM. Yeah guys, you tell em how to adapt stuff! Even though you don't read it, know whats happening and are completely out of touch with all of it.

This run has been the one of the best Superman arcs in a long time, definitely the best of The New 52.

"John Romita Jr. should change his name, its such a slap in the face to his father. This guy is a [frick]ing hack, how can someone who can't even draw be a huge artist? must be nice to have the right last name, and not need talent."

Drawing is exactly what he's doing there. Please enlighten everyone how he cannot draw. Because I see things here most comics these days lack: great perspective, actual backgrounds, great sense of pacing and layout, great storytelling, care into making each background character look and feel as important as the main characters, variety in panels, changing camera angles, changing figure sizes, etc.

Just because you don't like the style, or maybe he's not Jim Lee enough, doesn't mean he can't draw. Not being able to draw and not liking one's style are two very different things. Learn the difference. Because all the basics of drawing and a clear level of draftsmanship is on display in these pages.

The art is bad, but the ARC is great.
