New artists on Valiant relaunch?

Lightning Strike · Fri Jul 06, 2007 12:50:49 pm

Let's assume for an instant that none of the previous artists from Valiant's past will be on board for the relaunch. Which artists from the comic biz today would you like to see?

I'd like to see Ivan Reis, Ethan VanSciver, Alan Davis and Mark Bagley on some new Valiant books.

All great choices!

For my part, there are a TON of artists that I'd like to see relaunching the Valiant universe, but I'm going to approach this from the standpoint that if my favorites are already on really good books, that I'll look for talent elsewhere. For example, Alan Davis is obviously one of my all-time favorites, but he's working on his baby, Clan Destine, at Marvel so I really can't recruit him -- whereas I'd much rather see the talents of someone like Jim Cheung on something like X-O Manowar than the latest Bendis-Millar event at Marvel they'll have him doing covers for.

So, with that in mind, here are [5] right off the bat:

- Carlos Pacheco (So versatile it's insane...perhaps the next Perez in my eye).
- Joe Kubert (Nothing too demanding, but for a few special projects, cover artist, etc.? Wow!)
- Jim Cheung (X-O would be a great title for his technical skill).
- Andrea Di Vito (Already a great artist in the making, he'd be a VERY valuable asset for any number of books).
- Paul Pelletier (I can't get Davis...I'm getting Pelletier! Very slick, and he can obviously handle any number of characters).

That's a start anyhow...

Even though he says he'd say no, I would LOVE to see MAC on one of the premiere titles. One could not go wrong hiring that guy!

Stu Berryhill, for an alternate.

Ooooo, I love those last three choices Texcap

I'll pass on Lee. Not that he isn't a good artist, it's just that he doesn't dedicate himself completely on jobs. Plus, he's a lot like Bryan Hitch when it comes to deadlines. I like my comics monthly, not quarterly.

I agree with you 100%,Jim just take to much a time and does not come through with his work.I am surprise Frank Miller has not kill him yet.

My top tree are:

1) Jim Starlin
2) Jim Starlin
3) Jim Starlin

Any artist that gets his books drawn ahead of time should be the first
one hired.

I'd like to see Klayton Krain back on Shadowman.

I'd also like to see them get Leinil Yu:

I'm a monster Terry Moore fan.... I would love to see him tackle something very 'real' like Valiant.

I also dig DJ Coffman's style...would love to see him do a book for New Valiant as well.

Mind you my choices are based on style I'd like to see in VALIANT or on particular characters not just based on who would bring instant money, I'm also not going to include people who really only (or mostly) do covers (Del Otto, Suydam, Bianchi etc ) My short list:

Gene Ha
David Aja
Shane Davis
John Cassaday
Joe Bennett

All good choices, especially Aja. His work on Iron Fist has been amazing. He'd be perfect on a book like Rai.

Yu is inconsistent. Sometimes his work looks great, then you see his work on Avengers and it looks sloppy and horrible.

Might not be the most popular stand to take, but it's alright in my book.

That man drew Thanos better than anyone else. Ever.

Mike McKone
Ivan Reis
Bryan Hitch (on Yearbooks)

There's something about his art that I just don't like. I don't dig his Avengers at all.

I really hope they can get Janet Jackson involved somehow.

Ms. Jackson if you're nasty?

Maybe she could hand-paint some of the covers. I'm assuming they won't be hand-painting their comics, but if they got JJ to hand-paint a few colors that would really bring back the memories of her great work for the original Valiant.
The Valiant method of coloring must live on!!

I can't remember his name but the kid who drew the Adam Strange series would be a nice addition.

I'd like to see Stephen Platt coming back to give a shot.
