He is really right about alot of things he points out here.

Man its so true! Now I know why Steve Rude's The Moth didn't sell. I loved the Moth. We need more comics like that but alas... anyway.

If you don't know Mike's work you should check some out! He is a fantastic illustrator.

I remember liking his stuff as a kid but I didn't care for Darkhawk(sorry Mike!) but I loved his Batman art.

Now he is the editor of DRAW! Magazine.

a great magazine from Twomorrows(which itself will be a subject soon!)

So if you are interested in Comic book illustration I suggest checking that out!

Now back to studying Kirby gestures!
