When did Greg Land get so damn good? He doesn't look anything like the guy who did pencils on BoP and Nightwing. Apparently he's doing full pencils as well as covers for the new Phoenix book.

he got "so damn good" while at crossgen.
check out sojourn.
i used to think his art was incredible...i still think it's good.
BUT then i saw the small controversy around his use of tracing and also recycled art. |

he was doing Sojourn for crossgen, and it was truly their most beautifully drawn book. |

His stuff is quie nice. His work was the reason I bought Sojourn.
In later issues his work started to look flat.
Nice Phoenix though. _________________

I've really been digging his cover work lately. His BoP covers have been really good his X-covers are great as well, but its nice to have him back on interiors. It seems that a lot of the people that went off to Crossgen have come back much improved. Peterson, Land, Epting, etc. Not to mention the finds of McNiven and Middleton. I guess it must be something in the water down in Florida. |

I personally enjoy his work more than Jim Lee's. Plus, no one draws Hawkgirl's ass like Greg Land. _________________ Well! Look at you there! Oh, you're a filthy girl, aren't you? Yes, you're looking for a BAD TIME, that's what you're after! Oh, you're a DIRTY FLIRT!

I've known him for over ten years and he has definitely continued to improve.
He did a really cool Kabuki (pencils, inks, and colors). It is the first page of the KABUKI GALLERY from 1995. |

it's not just the tracing that bothers me.
i mean, if i were to trace, i couldn't come close to what he's doing.
it's the recycled art.
anyone who's read sojourn knows what i mean. multiple issues had the same art, sometimes the same panels even.
and interior art were, sometimes, later used for covers.
and his BoP covers are rips from his sojourn work, like the cover with arwyn, i mean canary, surrounded by fire. |
