Mar 21, 2009 Comics, The Weekly Pile
The Weekly Pile is 5 issues strong this time around which is a vast improvement over last week’s unfortunate haul (or non-haul). After digesting this past Wednesday’s crop, I quickly realized that every issue I purchased was published by Marvel. I believe this is a first for me as a DC or Image book will typically find its way into the mix. But, Marvel appears to be the publisher of the week as they secured 100% of my comics budget after I bought the following issues:

Feb 27, 2009 Comics, The Weekly Pile
Now this is more like it. This week’s collection of comics is a substantial stack. After a couple of pretty lean weeks, the pile is back! I left my comic shop with no less than seven books this week, so I’m not going to waste time with a drawn out introduction. I won’t even bother to finish this sen…

Let’s Talk Artists #2: Humberto Ramos
Dec 29, 2008 Let's Talk Artists
Today I am shinning the spotlight on Mexican born artist Humberto Ramos. I am a HUGE fan of Humberto and have been ever since my kid brother picked up some issues of Impulse with Ramos interiors in the mid to late 90’s. I still remember seeing the art in the comic my brother was holding in the “middle seat” of our family folkswagon during the drive to church one Sunday and completely loving what I saw. Since that time, I have picked up nearly everything that Humberto has produced. This includes his larger profile projects like X-Men and Spider-man and his creator owned books like Out There and Revelations.
This entry is going to look into Humberto’s run on Wolverine during the time of Civil War in the Marvel Universe back in 2006. Humberto seems to have the type of style that polarizes people and that was very apparent on his Wolverine work. Humberto’s style is extremely dynamic with an anime influence (big feet, big hair, big everything…) This approach seems to be more accepted on his creator owned work as there is nothing to compare his vision to in those cases. Where as with a character like Wolverine, many artist have left their mark on the Canadian mutant over the years so the yard stick is ever present.
