If you dislike story limitations due to the method of distribution, well, maybe you should write about that. By stepping back and considering Irving's work here as a component of a unified Irving oeuvre, you're leaving out the uniqueness of the context he works in — his job is illustrating other people's stories; there's a tension between the integrity of his work and the demands of the particular project he's working on — a project that's not really his idea. Paul — read a few issues a while back. It has evolved and perhaps tightened in certain ways, but I don't think "photorealistic shadowing" or "naturalism" are among those ways.

That's xomni, I guess -- these things never have much forward motion to them anyway, not when the next adventure is always right around the corner -- and make no mistake, Xombi is more interesting as both a read and an aesthetic object than most of the rest of its genre at the moment. He's a consummate craftsman, and to be quite honest this kind of evolution doesn't happen unless an artist is really picking at something.

Coic, doesn't that Robin section you show look like Richard Corben? Basically, Xombi is what it is, and that only becomes a problem when you step back and take it as part of an entire medium rather than its genre alone.

It's a troubling thing to condemn a comic for existing as a certain type of entertainment -- especially when its creators are obviously doing cmoic damnedest to make something of actual value -- but when tropes preclude enjoyment, it's just as hard to figure ximbi what else to do.

But I do think that the way Irving's color spotting has moved from flat blocks and abstract digital texturing into photorealistic shadowing takes something away from the total effect.

It's got a highly talented artist in Frazer Irving, and an underrated, sombi writer in John Rozum. Do not impersonate another commentator ten. Xombi 12 released! Interesting observations about the comic… I don't agree that it was blocked, but I think you raise some good points about ways it could be stronger.

You can not read people's thoughts Your disappointment with the cliffhanger seems to stem from the creative team doing their job.
