>>85947140
Same here, I know when this was first storytimed here people were shitting on it but I've enjoyed every issue.

But man does a part of me wish Remender stayed on at Marvel.

I've seen the bits and bobs Murphy's been posting in his Twitter, looks pretty cool.

I love that he achieves a level of looseness in his art that never looks messy.

Maybe a New Hellions book? But I kinda doubt it, reading the notes, it came from a very personal place for Remender.

>>85950182

Yeah, I kinda guessed. Part of what makes it work imo is how personal it feels. I haven't read those notes.

Yes, but I we stay as friends so things don't get awkward

>Also you said better artist, are you studying art or something?
Eh, sort of. I used to study graphic design but that bored me so now I'm focusing more on my writing. I still draw and take some drawing classes here and there so I don't end up as another Liefeld (ie. someone who loves drawing but has no real education)

Hopefully. I don't really care about money, I just want to get my ideas out there, y'know? I don't consider myself a good writer, but everyone else says I've got at least a modicum of talent, so, as Crumb would put it, I just keep on truckin'.

>How old are you X-anon?
21. Yeah, I'm kind of a newfag. If it makes you feel any better I didn't post here until I was actually 18, just to spare everyone the embarrassment of dealing with a dumbass teenager.

>I have to say that you are the first namefag I don't hate

>I am sort of an artist too, you got a throwaway mail or something m8?
Nope, and frankly, I think my art is pretty amateurish and sort of embarrassing haha. I'll probably start a webcomic or something later down the line since that's how a lot of people are getting started these days.

>>85951153
Yeah, it's a real bummer, but I'm glad he's still selling issues and ended up with a pretty sizeable cult following to boot.

Same here. Hopefully Marvel get their head out of their collective asses and get their shit together at some point. I'm not feeling to hopeful right now, what with all these dumb MU and RESURROCTION shit, but I'm sure I'll get over it by tomorrow.

>>85951153
Was it because of the #fireremender bullshit?

>>85951869
No. It's probably because of the Axis thing, coupled with him not getting the X-books post-secret war

2MB, 1988x3056px

>>85951869
Nah, I personally think it's because he saw how Marvel would keep abusing characters he cares about, so rather than stick around and be Marvel's lapdog, he went creator-owned.

That too, but I feel like they would have given him the X-Books if he agreed to write them on Marvel's terms.

>>85952063
Yeah, I almost made a remark earlier about how I think he's definitely not the kind to compromise in favor of quality.

Eh, I wasn't a big fan at first. I felt like Remender was beating me over the head with the whole optimism thing. It has improved considerably since then though.

>>85955019
Low had me by issue 3 I think, as soon as they got out of the city and into the ocean.
I'm kinda pissed Marik died so soon, I was hoping he'd get more of a redemption arc. Instead it all kind of happened off screen
He got a pretty good send-off though.

>>85955180
Why Can't Sean Murphy keep doing creator owned stuff like this or The Wake? I'm sure his Batman book will be good but we already have dozens of good batman stories why go to a empty well instead or continue creating your own thing.

>>85955323
I have to agree with you, cape work can give us some pretty breathtaking imagery but I feel like it's in creator owned stuff where artists can really let loose.

>>85955370
The one that really pulled me was the part where the two of them swim through the swarm of jellyfish, Tochini's art is fucking gorgeous.
I think I left off right when they made it to the surface, I'm super hyped for the next trade.
Oh yeah, the Pirate guy who's trying to die with honour and the Mermaid girl are great.

He thinks like they do. He knows what they want to draw, and that's what he wants to write.

>He knows what they want to draw, and that's what he wants to write.
I find him to be a frustratingly inconsistent writer: I really like Deadly Class, Black Science, and Low but found this to be obnoxiously on the nose (only kept reading for the artwork) much like Devolution.

But the majority of his work (and esp his Creator Owned stuff) has such a intendancy towards gonzo visuals that I'm sure it's feeding off of itself at this point. By which I mean: anyone who's inclined to draw this type of thing is almost certainly sending him samples because he's got enough clout to get his shit in print and not only will you have fun working on the project but it'll get your name out there in a big way (because even if only a few people pick up the title you can be sure the headhunters at the Big Two are watching).

>>85947140
oath, I thought it was a really solid ending for the series. It's a shame it's over and I'm normally all about leaving things on a good note, but for once part of me wants him to continue the series.

>>85948758

Thanks again for the storytime, OP.
