Is Adam Kubert the new artist on Wolverine?

[IrishCream]

Because if he is, that'd be super

[wolf_2099]

Links? Where the hell did this come from?

[MGM]

Uh yeah, isn't he exclusive with DC?

[wolf_2099]

That's what I thought, both of them.

[XIII]

No. The exclusive contract ran out. I think they're returning to Marvel.

Can't say the DC exclusive has been a tremendous success.

[MGM]

Not at all, what has Adam done there?

I dunno about his return to Wolverine. His run there was great, but he need a fill-in for every 3, 4 issues. And back then at least he drew on oversized paper, what enabled him to put a lot of detail in the pages. He hasn't done that since that run.

[XIII]

At DC? He did Superman with Johns and Donner : about 6 issues.
The Last Will of the DC Universe : 1 issue.
And covers.

That's it. In 2 years. Slower than Jim Lee!

[MGM]

Don't diss Adam Kubert, man! :mad:

[wolf_2099]

Just remember. the Kuberts run their own business too, which probably takes priority so they don`t try and do a lot of work.

Unlike Jim Lee, who has his own company, yet decides to try and do monthly books only to fail.

[XIII]

Well, they both failed. Andy on Batman and Adam on Superman were both supposed to be the monthly artist on those titles. Neither of those titles came out on time.

[wolf_2099]

Very true. They need to have them turn in their work before beginning publishing.

[William McDert]

Kubert's run on Wolverine is one of the things that got me addicted to comics back in the day. The Wolverine vs. Sabertooth (#91?) was the greatest fucking fight EVER

[XIII]

Oh yeah, I have that issue in French. It was gorgeous.

[Stocky Boy]

On the House to Astonish podcast they have a good laugh about DC hiring the Kuberts on exclusive contracts, getting nothing much out of them and now Marvel just sweeping them up at the end.

Ron Garney will be the artist for Jason Aaron's Wolverine Weapon X run. Wolverine Origins is becoming a Daken on-going. Don't know about the main Wolverine book though.

[XIII]

Isn't it going to become Dark Wolvering or something like that?

[MGM]

Garney/Aaron? Sounds like a win, I might actually get that.

[wolf_2099]

Garney is a great artist. I had never heard of him before that Wolverine run.

[XIII]

Really? He has been around for ages!

Cameron : Arn? What has Ron Garney done?

Arn : He did a highly regarding run on Captain America with Mark Waid before the Heroes Reborn stuff. Then he was the artist on Uncanny X-Men around the early 400s issues. Also had runs on Incredible Hulk and Amazing Spider-Man.
Even did the JLA with Kurt Busiek at DC.

We need to do another con soon, it's fun. :D

[wolf_2099]

Hmm, so I have even read his stuff, and own it, and did not know it was him.

[XIII]

Be careful, you sound like Mohinder here. ;)

Wolverine 90. I know 'cause I looked it up to download it. :D
I have Wolverine 87 laying around somewhere, the issue where he fights Deathstrike. Gorgeous.

Wolverine 90 is one of the greatest comics ever.

I drew a huge version of that cover for high school art class.

[MGM]

I'm about to read it in a few minutes.

[wolf_2099]

It is now on my pull list of stuff to dig out when I go home this weekend.

Were there any other great Wolvie arcs?

[MGM]

I think the original Claremont/Miller series is the best there is?

[wolf_2099]

Probably, I cannot remember anything about it though.

maybe i should dig it out, as well.

[IrishCream]

God I love this guy's work

[IrishCream]

Oh, and one of my favorite covers EVER

You should also dig out to see if you have an extra copy of Batman/Deathblow #1 and send it to me. ;)

I'll recommend the very recent, very excellent "Get Mystique" arc, by Aaron and Garney.

The four issue mini? Never read :(

There's a run by Sam Keith in Marvel Comics Presents which I recall enjoying but that could be due to his insane art style.

My favorite Wolverine arcs were probably 75-105ish. I actually liked when it was him and Elektra and they were trying to regain is humanity in the low 100's. I alos like Erik Larsen's run (I want to say 125 and up?).

Really, I ate up ANYTHING that Kubert drew for Wolverine. Same goes with Hulk, I could only stomach that series when the Kube drew it.

[MGM]

By coincidence I saw the Claremont/Miller mini will come out as TPB this week.

[XIII]

The whole month is going to be full of Wolverine-related release because of the movie coming out.

[Goshin]

back in the 90s the kubert brothers were the shit! i wondered where they went last i seen one of them was ultimate x-men waaaay back in the first year

[wolf_2099]

The whole month is going to be full of Wolverine-related release because of the movie coming out.

And how is that different from any other month

[Goshin]

wolverine has always been my all time favorite x-man and even i think he's overexposed i mean come on 3 x-teams and even the avengers!!

[XIII]

So, did anybody grab Wolverine 73? The part written by Jason Aaron with art by Adam Kubert is really hilarious, playing on the theme of Wolverine's over-exposure.
The second part had gorgeous art by Tommy Lee "No sketchy for Frenchy" Edwards but the story (by Daniel Way) was rather generic.

[MGM]

Aaron's story was absolutely brilliant. I wonder how it's going to end. Kubert should go back to the old days, though: two issues in three months, oversized paper and FUCKING GORGEOUS art. I still like his stuff, but it seems so rushed.
