Interesting video. Very good. I feel that Frank is getting older. Nobody in the comments nor you have brought this up. He's 67 years old. He's way past his peak. There's no one in the artist community that once you hit a certain age, you don't create the same type of art as you did at your peak. Maybe in his older age he is settling into a style that accommodates sore hands brought on from years of drawing comic books and at a pretty rapid space. Doing this does take a toll on your body, especially your hands. And if he has neuropathy that's going to make it even worse so it's just something to consider as you're looking at this. I'm looking at Frank Moore in light of it's time for him to retire and hang up the pen. I know it's probably going to be hard for a lot of people here, but he's almost 70. There's something to be said about that

I think it's a matter of aging and all that he has gone through his life, alcoholism being one of them but mostly, I believe it has to do with the fact that he doesn't give a rat's ass about anyone's opinions and the big publishers still hire him and everyone is tallking about his new "bad art" style.

It's not cartoony. Most of it are just lazily drawn

I absolutely believe that Frank's work can be replicated well in color. It's just that they didn't hire a good enough color artist to do so. Look at Eduardo Risso's art in 100 bullets or Marcelo Frusin from Loveless comic. Gorgeous colors with black and white art

Aside the fact that he is kind of getting blocky the main change he did in his art is he removed all the hatching and feathering from his style. Thus is giving us a total "flat" outcome in combination with the blocky and not fluid poses. You can only see lines without variety and black spaces. Removing all those elements that give a sketch dimensions and it makes it pop out of the paper we see those results.

I kinda really like the new stuff an I’m not really into his art very much

Comic book artist here…. I think good and bad art is a lot like music. You don’t need to necessarily sing to know when someone has a great voice, or when they are way out of tune. To point out what I’m seeing there is a clear lack of proportion balance in Frank’s newer work. Cartoonishness is not the term you would use, considering with the right proportions and angle and dynamism in poses you can make something look incredibly abstract (think anime like dandadan) and still look incredibly compelling. Frank is choosing to do a top down pose on almost all his new stuff, (which is not an appealing angle unless you are very very good at dynamism). Not only that but he is choosing to bend his characters limbs creating an unappealing box or circle shape, which is just so static and boring. On top of that he keeps choosing to foreshorten more than one limbs at a time (a big no no in art, as you’re asking for trouble once you start foreshortening more than one limb in a given pose) and by doing this is failing at creating any depth, which is exactly the purpose of foreshortening in the first place. So what happens is that you get a Superman who looks like he has donkey Kong’s arms and hands. It’s ugly, it’s unappealing, and it lacks all depth. And to make it worse he is taking all the detail out of his character’s faces and making them look like granite faced Easter island statues. What he is trying to do as opposed to what he can do is what is failing him. I don’t know if anyone has the guts to tell him to stop doing that, because he is Frank Miller. When you’re a comic book legend, no one is going to tell you to rein it in. But yea, not good stuff.

Zero fuks given probably

I give the art 2 👎👎. I don't know what happened to him, or his work. If you go back and look a the quality of his work on Daredevil (Initial run), the Wolverine mini-series, Ronin, and any one of the dozens of cover art he did for different books, (There's a great one from the Marvel run of the first Star Wars comics series, btw) And just about anything he's done in the past 10-20 years and there's no comparison.

It's sad that he's trying to be like Jack Kirby

Buddy , you repeat so much "I don't dont know" I had to mute halfway through because I wanted to keep seeing the silly pictures, but you obviously ran out of things to say.

I think we found an artist worst then Rob Liefeld and that not an easy feet 🦶 😂

Trash

His new art style looks like Simple Jack drew it.

JRJR and Frank Miller in cahoots of the biggest comic book industry troll ever executed.

I would love to have been in the room to see and hear the reaction when the new Frank Miller art pieces came in for approval.

I think with a good inker his style would look amazing

I’m gonna be real his art and written ain’t what it use to be and it’s been that way for many years now….

Bro drawls like he hasn't hit puberty yet 😂

Going full blocky is a good choice in my opinion. Going less blacks and ignoring anatomy is what makes his current art stink, at least sometimes

I don’t think some of them aren’t that bad but except for the Deadpool and Wolverine one, plus the colours is not flattering at all.

The Deadpool Wolverine seriously looks like a 9gag/4chan thing

Its dog$hit. sorry. love frank millers work (mostly) otherwise, including much of his art. but he has to stop. never any denying his legacy and he'll always deserve credit and respect, but he has to stop.

I'm not a big comics fan so don't really have the same appreciation of the history, but I kinda like the newer ones. I think the big chunky square hands and fingers and bizarre proportions are meant to be a weird stylised theme, I think it'd look a lot better if the linework was thicker in places though and maybe add a bit of depth to it.

It's his slow decent into madness. Someone convince him to get back on his meds.

Dude some of it looks like child drawings just say it

Be the best or the worst. Just don't be boring. If people are still talking about this then something is working.

I think part of his devolution, and maybe why the quality varies so much, is the switch from traditional mediums to digital/tablet art and the struggle to adjust. That being said it certainly doesn’t excuse the fact that this stuff is getting put out there as variant covers, especially his current Wolverine drawings, honestly nothing can explain how he went from making one of the best most iconic Wolverine covers of all time to whatever the hell that is

I think he may also be putting better work into things he like and the other ones seems like hell they keep asking me to do covers let's see how long I can keep doing crappy covers till they stop

Looks like he just give a damn any more

It's not "more cartoonish", it's just bad... the guy is a legend, but he clearly can't draw anymore... I don't know what happened, but obviously something happened, probably age.

Oh god I thought it couldn’t get worse

I'm not really one to say cuz I feel my art has de-volved in some ways, though to me, some of these do look samey (like a character lunging forward, front view square fists), they remind me of Super Hero Squad. That Wolverine one is just not it, the pose is awkward and the silhouette gets quite lost with the claws in that front view, if they were out to the sides it would've helped with it

I think hes channeling Ralph Steadman. Gonzo art. Look it up if you're not familiar. And also maybe dabbling with digital format to draw? Which is not flattering to his style at all. Take a drink every time he says "cartoony".

I agree that it’s definitely much weaker than his earlier work but I do think there’s a nugget of greatness hidden in there that he’s searching for. The recent hulk, thing, and Loki I think are really fantastic and show the potential of this style. But I gotta agree that wolverine cover is just terrible.

HORRIBLE!

Is it for children?

It’s hard for me to say. Could be a number of reasons why his style has evolved to the current look. #1 I feel no one understands what he is going for and the colorists and inkers are doing it no favor #2 Age #3 Health like a stroke? Drug use? #4 Artist self indulgence and resting on him laurels? All 4? I just buy what I like, but I can’t imagine his variants flying off the shelves as most look uninspired.

Hes brilliant, but his art is weak now. It's defo not the same..

You never touch his inkers tho

I love Miller’s art evolution

I don't think it is the cartoonishness its that his line work had decrease in quality

I think his art would be better if its in black and white ,but his Batman Gargoyle of Gotham variant cover looks really good, and its one of the latest Miller work so what im saying he knows what hes doing.

How old is Frank?

man's brain is fried, happens with age

Great issue, but godamn I hate the digital coloring.

He is clearly trying to channel kirby's energy on his work. His absolute batman cover it is kinda ugly but once you look at it you can tell the movement coming straight at you and the weird anatomy as a lot of kirby's work based on captain america.

I dislike most modern comics covers anyway but I'd still take Frank Miller today over artists like Romita Jr or Cory Walker.

😂 ASS

I miss the old miller
