Comics have never really been my thing. They are such a visual medium, and the art in most comics I've browsed have not appealed to me the least. I like Don Rosa, I have all his albums published here in Finland, and I love Watchmen. The art of it, first and foremost, but the story too. And the colouring. If I were a poet, I'd write odes to the colour palette of Watchmen.
Clint/Coulson has pretty much being my OTP since Thor, and recently Kate Bishop has been showing up in C/C fics, and at first I was all 'Bwuh?' But then I found out she comes from this new Hawkeye monthly. So I checked it out. Wow. I'm in love. This Fraction[story]-Aja[art]-Hollingsworth[coulours] combination is incredible. The minimalist art, how much of the story is in the body language of the characters, and the colours. Oh the colours. Odes would be written. You know, if I could.
Then suddenly in the fourth issue there is someone else doing the art. And it's so ugly! WTH is up with that? Fortunately this Pulido did only two issues, the two-parter story in #5 and #6.
We get back to Aja for one issue and then it's someone else again. Argh. Lieber&Hamm don't veer stylistically as far away from Aja as Pulido did, but I still don't like it. #8 is Aja again, as will be #9 and #11.
I'm dreading the future issues #10 and #12 which will be drawn by yet another artist, Francavilla. I checked out some his work, and it was, if not minimalistic, at least not that much of a mess than many others I've seen.
It's just that Aja does these thick, eloquent lines I love and haven't seen anywhere else.
