I'm pretty sure I've explained why already but just to clarify: Ciencin and Templesmith are my bad. Back when you guys announced this whole thing there were two open slots left for like a month and at the time Linkara had recently reviewed all of the Silent Hill comics the two worked on in that span of time and they looked terrible. I do find their stuff to be a like it or hate it kind of thing, but again: my bad.

For reference here's the first of the Linkara reviews

lol, no problem man, just giving you a hard time. It made for some interesting research, and like I said, it turned out I actually owned one of Ciencin's TPBs!

Doing research and finding about odd things like Dinotopia was totally worth it.

I had a good laugh when you guys found out the Dinotopia stuff btw.

thx for the surprise cameo ::))))

just clarify, i don't hate Miller's work... i just think that it's hard to go back and read it and enjoy it because the misogyny can be really overbearing, and the grim/gritty/moody/bloodiness of it is also kinda overwhelming. definitely an important artist, and i like his more modern drawing style... but that doesn't mean that i generally enjoy his work.

What's weird is it wasn't always so prevalent/obvious because his Daredevil run was pretty straight forward, maybe because it focused more on Matt and his faith. But it did show up in Batman Year One. So at some point in the 80's was when he shifted gears.
