I picked this up today, and was really impressed with the Joss/Cameron tale. The rest of the book was a little lacking for me (I liked some of the ideas - the narratives in the spike story fr'example - but I felt some of the design/art let me down a little. The cover? Ehhh, didn't do anything for me). I really thought that last short tale was the only one that really "popped". But then, I guess that's all I was really interested in, too.
Cameron: you seem to have an uncanny ability to draw people who look exactly like people I know but can't quite place! Also - that is the coolest, most rock and roll vampire! Seriously, I would have liked to see more of him. In fact, I kinda wish this story had been longer - even if not in story, in page count. Even though I do like the way it's all condensed and compact. My favourite section of the story has to be where she first sees the vamp, and when she gets bitten - and the little fade way. I really like how that's done. And also - the girl's just so cute! This story shows Joss to really have an excellent grasp of comic scrip writing as well, and really plays up to the medium. Which is nice (I'd never read anything by him...). So, I'm impressed all round really. Although in all honesty, it's just annoying that you had to go colour it as well! Obviously, this is coming from someone who finds trying to use photoshop akin to putting needles in their eyes...
Props to the letterer as well, she totally keeps with the tone of the art, I think. They could be hand draw, really.
Few techy-arty questions: What size did you work at? Do you mostly use a brush? What did you use on the panel borders - they're really nice and thick! |
