Current Talk '24 I / Re: Innovation's '91 DS Comic, Book 3

Wow MB, we aren't anywhere in the same universe on this. The only thing haunting about this issue is how hauntingly bad the artwork is. You said it doesn't always work...name some examples where it does. Abstract is one thing but visually illegible is something else. Nobody buys a comic that is blurry, fuzzy and all around unreadable. I expected Innovation to defend Echevarria because they were the only ones to hire him ..either before or after this issue. This was the last comic he drew - could you see him drawing Batman in this style? Fans would revolt.
And I'm sorry... even what you can see, that drawing is KLS, not Sarah. And frame 4 on the full page is Barbara Steele, not Joanna Going. Then if you want to talk dialog, Gothick is right... Sarah DOES sound like some guru.  The comics started off so brilliantly but was already going off the rails with Barrettstown and this issue just ended things with a huge train wreck. Gotta hand it to Innovation though...what a perfect slogan for their going out of business sale... we departed from what readers of these comics had come to expect. LOL.

Ditto for me also G. For me, it's the artwork. It's just plain horrendous. I can't tell whether it's Victoria or Dr. Hoffman anymore, so how can I follow the story. And what's with the shot MB used in the index. It looks like some sort of weird glamour shot of KLS sprayed with that fake snow stuff stores use for their Christmas Windows Good golly eeeesh!

I know you defended Echevarria previously MB, saying this was his style...but that doesn't mean it was any good.  I looked up his work resume and he was pretty much a flop as a comic artist. This issue was the last work he did in comics. (He did a couple of graphic novels that have yet to be published ...wonder why?) then went into painting art. His style might look better as a painting but it sure didn't work in comics. Everything he drew looked like a eye chart for a quack optometrist trying to sell patients glasses. I was a subscriber to the comics originally and admire the thought and effort you put in for analysis MB, but truthfully the artwork is so horrible, I couldn't and can't even follow the story. In this case, a one and done issue was deserved.

I only got to watch about 15 minutes before I had to leave for work but taped it. Was really surprised the show was in color. Looked and felt very similar to Bonanza but had never seen the series before.

when he heard Vicki and Carolyn getting high in Vicki's room because it meant that the way was clear for him to have a nude play date with Sarah without being interrupted.
