JAMIE WHERE DID YOU GO?
It is physically painful for my favorite comic to go from mindblowingly beautiful to simply "okay," but with the cartoon art that's exactly what happened. I mean, I had some SERIOUS emotions after Fandemonium, which is why I've gone to single issues instead of waiting for the volume, but the disappointment is crippling. The consistent art was one of my favorite things about WicDiv, because it was clean, beautiful, and everyone looks the same in every panel.
I might have forgiven the half-baked chapter if Jamie McKelvie had illustrated it. The emotions leftover from Fandemonium were there, but I couldn't get into Baal looking like a pudgy little boy with a thwarted romance, and NO ONE CARES about Cassandra's traitorous camerawoman.
Tomorrow we get an issue about Fucking Tara, and hopefully that art is better. If it is, I'll get the issue, if it's not, then god knows if I'll even buy this volume for just leave it out and wait for Jamie to come back.
I'm gonna go sit in the dark and be heartbroken over this now.

"Love makes fools of us all."
UF.
Y creo que me quedo corta. Si la grapa anterior me dejó con muy buen sabor de boca y muchas expectativas esta las ha matado todas. Incluso les ha hecho un funeral.
En primer lugar: en esta grapa no pasa nada. Pero nada de nada. Es sencillamente relleno sin ningún motivo.
Y en segundo y último lugar: el estilo de la artista invitada, Kate Brown, no me ha convencido. Ha sido algo que he notado mucho al comenzar a leer la grapa y es que no he cuajado con el estilo. No he visto nada de esos juegos de luces y sombras, colores brillantes y apagados, esos juegos de viñetas a doble página increíbles que, aunque la historia no me cautivase, me resultaban visualmente maravillosas.
En cierto modo, le ha quitado casi todo el atractivo visual desde mi punto de vista. Supongo que al estar acostumbrada a una cosa y que de repente me cambien a otra me cuesta adaptarme. Pero es que más que dos estilos me ha dado la impresión que ha sido como un bajonazo de calidad. Como si en vez de darte unos zapatos de tu talla te den unos que te queden muy grandes o pequeños.
A ver que nos trae la siguiente grapa.

I hate not having Jaime McKelvie illustrating this arc, because I adore his work and really identify the characters with his portrayal of them. However, this issue was okay in spite of that. It had an appropriately mournful feel, and the ever present sense that we're missing a lot of information drives the desire to read more forward even when my favorite characters no longer can.

Slower than the others, but never ceases to amaze me. I think I got spoiled by reading so much Gillen/McKelvie partnerships right away because...this..this is pure magic.
