    Art can kill a book or it can save a book. This holds true to writing as well. I've stopped reading books because either the art or the writing sucked. I like a good mix of the two and that is what I aim for well written and drawn books. There are times I've read a graphic novel I bought for the art and hated it because the story sucked or I've bought a book of a writer I like and the art just wasn't flowing well the storytelling wasn't there in the panels. Its a combo of the two.
    My S button i screwed up and doesn't work all the time. So i have to jam it in for it to work.

    Sometimes it can be any one of these things.. I bought the New 52 JLA that Jim Lee did mostly because it was him, same with the Joe Kubert Presents stuff etc. I do go artist hunting sometimes. I read Secret Warriors though because I thought it was compelling storytelling, even though there were some really hinky art issues later in the series.

    Marvel's almost formulaic event peddling would probably qualify as writing.. and it has turned me off to almost all of their mainstream titles. AvX was something I neither wanted nor cared for and they, as a company have a problem with pretending major things didn't happen 6 months after they did (WW Hulk, Civil War, Secret Invasion, Dark Reign, etc etc etc).

    I have tried to sit down with the new Top Cow stuff but some of the pages are super busy and the dialogue can be floaty.

    Anyway, that's my .02 for what it's worth. Didn't vote on the poll because there wasn't an option for what I do. Pretty cool that this discussion has gone on this long

    Just did a google search of Marc Silvestri. Your work looks just like his!
