    Here's some context I wish the video had included: this was a two-part filler story by a different creative team that the one the book normally had. Before these two issues, Conan had his regular look, and it came back after the two issues ended. This was a filler issue, not a "brand new era" for the character. Also, the issues that came after this had incredible art by Alcatena, which I very strongly recommend

    One of the big influences on this run of Conan was Bisley's work on Slaine: The Horned God. It's may not be quite as obvious as the Image influences, but when you look at the distended figure of Conan with all the veins, etc, it's very Bisley. Just poor Bisley.

    Around that time they put out a few black and white magazine reprints of classic BWS and John Buscema Conan comics, I picked those up instead of the new series and never regretted it.

    The current Titan Comics Conan by Jim Zub is pretty rad, a good throwback to classic sword and sorcery Conan

    I had stopped buying comics by '96 but I worked at a comic shop and can distinctly recall putting this book on the shelf. To go from John Buscema and Barry Windsor-Smith to...this? Sacrilege.

    Regarding Jim's comment of having these types of inks over a more 90's style, check out Mike Deodato's run on Avengers, probably around this same time and I'm almost certain was also inked by Tom Palmer. I also think this is possibly the same Joe Bennet that did the Immortal Hulk series, which is quite stunning visually...you guys should check it out and show some of it on the channel.

    This is not Buscema or BWS, or anybody with an iota of being able to do good sword and sorcery imagery.

      Bennett did some pretty good work on Thor in the early 2000s, but this is execrable.

  • @ultramagneticlion2147
    @ultramagneticlion2147 5 месяцев назад +1

    Would be cool if you guys picked up Joe Bennett's Ravage 2099, where I feel he came to his own style. He retained the proportions on figures, which makes me agree that, yes, he used Liefeld/Jim Lee embelleshing and composition but he had his own chops. Especially, with the Greg Adams inking. If this is the only coverage you guys do on Bennett a lot of fans will just echo chamber that he's a chump. Love the channel, but I can never dig when an artist gets put down carelessly.

    • @jonahsweet
      @jonahsweet 5 месяцев назад +1

      they already did Ravage 2099. Joe is currently working on AlphaCore w Chuck Dixon in the Rippaverse if you're interested. Personally not a fan

    Real question. @cartoonistkayfabe ! The 2 page spread with the arrows. Are we to assume the artists don't know about the simple storytelling of putting the arrows behind the figures? Do they not know or not care? What are reasons for poor executions like this?

    Awful Time for being a Conan Fan. They canceled the Adventurer Series for this and upped the Price from 2 to 3 Dollars. A few Years after this John Buscema did a few Stories wich he inked. You should try to get Those.
