King of Snake Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Wow another big list of which I know virtually fuck all of the people, kinda ties in with my Come In Alone post, that the future of comics are going unnoticed. In essence since the prodigious talents are not being lured to the mainstream by the bigger publishers, all this is is just a namecheck. Of all below, all I or my brother have bought are (with comments): Best Single Issue 100 Bullets #27: "Idol Chatter," by Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso (Vertigo/DC) - bought but not read. Best Serialized Story Hellblazer #164-167: "Highwater," by Brian Azzarello and Marcelo Frusin (Vertigo/DC) - didn't get to the end of this, found it a bit dull to be honest. New X-Men #114-117: "E Is for Extinction," by Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely, Ethan Van Sciver, and Tim Townsend (Marvel) - quite good but I preferred a lot of the other Marvel stuff like Punisher or Alias. Best Continuing Series 100 Bullets, by Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso (Vertigo/DC) - I read the first two trades but've forgotten them, buying it but not reading it (my bro is), I want to read it but it's up to #33 or so, that's half the length of Preacher, it's an undertaking to say the least. Best Limited Series Enemy Ace: War in Heaven, by Garth Ennis, Chris Weston, Christian Alamy, and Russ Heath (DC) - very good, glad Ennis got in somewhere. Best Humor Publication The Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius: Monkey Tales, by Judd Winick (Oni) - not read this, this is the third run of Barry Ween, only read the second but I recommend it highly. Best Archival Collection/Project Akira, by Katsuhiro Otomo (Dark Horse) - my bro's buying this, got 4 of the 6 volumes, I'll have to take some time to read this. Best U.S. Edition of Foreign Material Akira, by Katsuhiro Otomo (Dark Horse) - as above. Uzumaki, by Junji Ito (Viz) - I've been reading this in 'Pulp', it is very good but when I went to look for Ito's 'Tomie' republished in 2 collections last year I couldn't find it anywhere, and I've never seen a collected Uzumaki around? Best Writer Brian Azzarello, 100 Bullets, Hellblazer (Vertigo/DC) - not read to much of, read some 100 Bullets, some Hellblazer Brian Michael Bendis, Powers (Image); Alias, Daredevil, Ultimate Spider-Man (Marvel) - been reading Alias, some Powers, the odd Team-up Grant Morrison, FF 1234, New X-Men (Marvel) - reading New X-men Best Writer/Artist-Humor Judd Winick, The Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius (Oni) - as above. Best Penciller/Inker or Penciller/Inker Team Gene Ha, Top 10 (ABC) - Top 10 has finished now anyway. Humberto Ramos/Sandra Hope, Out There (Wildstorm/DC) - good art on this but poor cliched story. Eduardo Risso, 100 Bullets (Vertigo/DC) - as above. Best Coloring Edgar Delgado/Studio F, Out There (Wildstorm/DC) - as above. Laura DePuy, Ruse (CrossGen); Ministry of Space (Image) - a very good colorist, her work on the Ellis-written Authority's was one of the rare times I'd notice the coloring. Patricia Mulvihill, Wonder Woman (DC), 100 Bullets (Vertigo/DC) - 100 Bullets, as above. Best Lettering Todd Klein, Promethea, Tom Strong's Terrific Tales, Tomorrow Stories, Top 10, Greyshirt (ABC); The Sandman Presents: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Dreams But Were Afraid to Ask (Vertigo/DC); Detective Comics, The Dark Knight Strikes Again (DC); Castle Waiting (Olio); Universe X (Marvel) - read a few of these, but it's lettering, didn't notice anything special. Best Cover Artist Tim Bradstreet, Hellblazer (DC) - FOR FUCKSAKE, THE MAN'S A TRACER IN THE WORST POSSIBLE WAY!! He take's photo's, traces em (and he does trace, uses a lightbox) and puts em out. I'm not saying he's not competent but he shows no imagination in what he does, all his Punisher covers are probably stock covers, Punisher on a bike with a gun, Punisher in a subway with a gun, etc. Marvel exec: 'We're doing a Taxi Wars arc, do you have a picture of Punisher in a taxi with a gun Tim?' Bradstreet: 'Well I've got one in a subway, it's public transport at least?' Marvel exec: 'Close enough!' Anyway, that rant aside, continuing: Dave Johnson, Detective Comics (DC), 100 Bullets (Vertigo/DC) - seen some very good covers, one to look out for. J. G. Jones, Codename: Knockout, Transmetropolitan (Vertigo/DC) - ditto. And that's about it, more than I thought but of what's above I've not read too much of! It's good to see creators get some recognition but essentially they'll still be in the same position the next morning, putting out comics to little commercial success or in the mainstream guys' case still with the same career. The major publishers need to look at the creators getting nominated here and bring them to a wider audience if the industry is to have a chance.
