Artist Highlight: Marcio Abreu (2012)
I’ve always regarded Marcio Abreu as the artist that will always piss off feminists around the comic world, and that’s meant as a compliment. This guy has been drawing very beautiful (albeit unrealistic) women in comic books for some time now, and every colorist has been taking a crack at his incredible artwork (as you can see here). Even if you don’t like his sense of proportion, you have to give the guy the ability to handle an expression in the face of every character he draws, and a good array of detail to every piece he does. Most of what is show here is “posed” art but the man has a good range of storytelling allowing him to make his mark in books like Memoirs Of A Serial Killer, Witchblade and The Charmed comic book adaption. Marcio Abreu is a talent you should watch, his bare pencils is the stuff made of legend, go to his DV account and check them out!

So I Read Today… Terminator/Robocop:Kill Human
I’m a sucker for Robocop, I’ve seen all the movies, the series and read almost all the comics, I find the character to be a walking tragedy, a hero with no choice, and sometimes like Captain America, a man (machine?) out of time, this story delivers exactly on that premise, very much like the first Robocop Vs Terminator done by Frank Miller and Walt Simonson a long time ago; this time around humanity is on the ropes, the last living human beings are fighting a losing battle against Skynet and just when all seems lost the last human being finds Robocop and activates him… a mistake she’ll regret dearly.
Dynamite Comics delivers again a tale using the character, having failed with a regular series not so long ago which was incredibly written by Rob Williams with art by Fabio Neves, this time around we get more of a 90’s fell to the character, with Mr. Williams still handling the words and P.J Holden handling the art, this one is not supposed to go to the hall of greatness, it’s supposed to be fun, violent nonsense, and believe me, it delivers on every aspect of those words, a nice read only with 4 numbers to go, read it and be amused!
