First Look at Titan UK Animated Comic Me and Mastergeorge found out simon Furman has updated his blog this time with info about the Titan transformers animated comic including line art . Linky:ANIMATED UPDATE! simon furman
Wow - old school. Just fill those images in with Nel Yomtov-style colors and it'd be like reading them past Marvel issues all over again.
The UK Movie comic was hit or miss early on for art. It's improved greatly on the recent issues but it is still sometimes inconsistent between issues (like the faces on Twilight's Last Gleaming, or Arcee and Elita's designs flickering between their Scout Releases, Classic show versions (heads anyway) or in Arcee's case the Movie Deluxe version in her first appearance). The writing however has been top notch the whole way through.
its like a artist is trying to copy the animated style while retaining their own unique style. and in the end it looks weird and almost completely unlikeable.
Hopefully it'll turn out nicer-looking when it's fully colored coz it's drawn by John Mcrea (of Hitman fame w/Garth Ennis) We'll just wait & see then...
I wonder how out of character Furman is going to write the Animated cast. I wish Hasbro never let him write this universe it doesn't need him.
In many ways I think it's a tougher assignment to do comics based on established cartoon stylings. There's less room for artistic individualism. They did a 2 page animated preview comic for issue 13 of the regular comic, and this at least looks more coherent than that did. Anyone see it? It was a jumbled mess.
Easy money I should imagine, a few quick pages for an undemanding kiddie rag during gaps in his regular work probably helps pay the bills.
