A few new pieces of artwork from Archie's upcoming Mega Man comic have been revealed courtesy of Comic Book Resources and The Sonic Stadium. One piece in particular focuses on more of Spaz's work (middle image), while the rest are from Chad Thomas.
UPDATE: TMMN scored some more pieces. Check them out here!
Chad's involvement with the comic is a bit sketchy right now. I've seen some sources say he'll be working on it as a penciler along with Spaz, while others say he isn't involved at all. I guess this will be one of those wait and see things.
Anywho... whose art do you prefer? Just out of sheer curiosity...
Thanks, RockX.
DEFINITELY Spaz, no contest. His work is always outstanding.
ReplyDeleteChad's looks like it'd be a comfortable fit with the MMU art style, which to be honest I'm not really sold on.
Spaz wins forever.
ReplyDeleteMay not be a full showing of Wily there, but I do like how his clothes look.
ReplyDeleteDarn, I said to myself that I probably wouldn't be getting an issue of this, but it just seems to be getting more interesting everytimes more art is shown.
That's Spaz's art in the middle, right? If so, it's DEFINITELY Better than Chad's.
ReplyDeleteWhen the comics were announced, I was expecting the worst. Spaz's art (assuming it's the center picture) showing up the next day definitely persuaded me otherwise. That style is the most crucial point here for me - if the comic doesn't look somewhat like what Spaz has done so far, it won't do. No disrespect to Chad, it's just not the right style.
I can't remember when was the last time my decision to purchase something was hinging on one aspect. But that's how I feel in this case :D
Whoever did the middle one wins for me. The other ones look fine, but the middle one looks really cool.
ReplyDeleteBoth are fine by me.
ReplyDeleteI recognize Spaz's RM artwork from that MM TCG that apparently went nowhere (not the .EXE one). :/
although spaz is more of what we'd expect, i was excited to chad's style a little more fleshed out. it's definitely not fair to pit one against the other when they're at such different stages of production.
ReplyDeletei'd like to see some colored chad art.
@RADIX: There were pictures of the TCG?
ReplyDeleteI'm diggin' Spaz. His work seems much more "traditional anime" than the other dude's... odd-faced Mega Man.
ReplyDeleteAlso, my verification word today is "plain".
Spaz is perfect for this hands down.
ReplyDeletechad's art, while interesting, disappoints me and makes me feel he shouldn't even be involved in this at all. He just doesn't seem to depict them the way they were intended.
Spaz all the way.
@Dr. Jerk: Yeah; they're at Cardbaka382's site (you need to look for them through Internet Explorer, though; Firefox won't display the images).
ReplyDeleteLooks a lot like the MM7/MM8 instruction manual artwork to me... I like it.
ReplyDeleteOk I know Ice Man is short but that's just absurd.
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone disagrees that Spaz is the best, lol :P
ReplyDeleteSpaz's pieces weren't from a trading card game; just regular trading cards.
