Um, don't get yer panites in a bunch, there, Cam.
I suppose I should rephrase. No, I don't think Quitely's art is very attarctive, but it can be very elegant, certainly. Mainly, I don't dig it, no more than that. The angles he chooses very often seem forced to me, particularly when he goes isometric, as in the case of the cover in question.
In reference to this book, I don't think he would be able to hit the tone that Allred manages. Quitely is too severe - he's as unable to pull out of the severity and do 'pop' as Allred is to do the reverse. (Though that's not exactly true - I've seen Allred go very severe and have it work, often because of the conflict between line and tone.) Or if that's not the case, I've never seen him nail it. Allred's look, or something like it, is exactly what this book needs, and I think Quitely's art would take Milligan's melodrama too seriously. |
