Well…I have to be honest. I am with Loren (Welcome back, Loren!!!) and Johanna Draper-Carlson on this. I like this image.
Regardless of some of the issues that come up surrounding Adam Hughes’ work? He is still a favorite artist of mine. Adam is a strong illustrator, with a real strong line work. It really doesn’t matter what he is drawing, he makes it look good. This is classy. It reminds me of the Vanity Fair and Vogue covers by Annie Leibowitz (and it should, that was the inspiration). It certainly has more positives than negatives (some have noted the one lesbian featured is in pants). And the positives are a sense of class to the image, excellent craftsmanship, an avoidance of cheesecake. It respects it’s subject. And hey, this is more clothing than most of these characters have warn in the past few years.
I am supposed to be hating the Miller Spirit. But I must say…this poster looks totally like Eisener art. I like this poster. I also like this Hellboy 2 poster looks good. Here is the trailer for the Spirit. The “The city is my mother/the coty is my lover” line is awful. But visually it is awesome. And I do like the tag of “And I Am Her Spirit”.
