No ther inker could have transformed Jack's vision of Norse Gods and their world than Vinnie. unique, unique books. - Edgewood Ooo Mon, 21 Dec 2009 10:22:14 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/99839-stan-lee-confirms-thor-cameo#comment-556921 Verily...dandman hath retreated back to the lands of the unknowing ones! LOL I had to say that!! Rickart...being an artist myself, I had to step in and school him and show him that here he was obviously at Superherohype admiring the comic book characters created by someone he was knocking. It was dumb. I would have understood if he had said, "I didnt like his artwork style or how he drew bodies" but at least acknowledge the man for what he did for the comic book universe we all enjoy today. Its like myself, I dont like Rob Liefeld's style but he gave us some cool characters like Cable although yet again several people at Marvel were claiming credit for this, sounds alot like Kirby vs Lee. Kirby's take on Thor itself is just incredible. The whirling motion of Thor's hammer is just damn cool and is still used to this day. And in yet another movie in the works, Captain America...the suit...the shield, its just insane when you sit down and think of all the characters he designed and came up are still basically the same to this day. Anyone can come up with something, but to do so and then have it be successfull and then admired to this day and to be considered sacred. Think about it. Whenever a costume is changed...we're all like...What the hell?!!! Anyway his silence I take it as lesson learned and if he responds then Verily I shall Smite Him!!! I hath spoken. Let it be written that no man shall insult the All-Father...the King...Jack Kirby. - Omar Fri, 11 Dec 2009 22:49:43 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/99839-stan-lee-confirms-thor-cameo#comment-556923 TREMEREFURY, I SAY THEE NAY! LOL. Although I don't really like Ultimate Thor, and classic Thor is perhaps my favorite character, You make a valid point. The Ultimate version's speech pattern is far more more accessible, but if Marvel Studios went for a guy to direct this movie, who has made his living in the Shakespearean word of Ayes, Nays and Verilys, that should give you an idea to where they are going. RICKART thanks for checking out VOODOO INK on Facebook. Or was it Myspace? There's a cool animation that We can't post on Facebook there. I'm glad you liked my work. Spread the word if you can. Words, pencils, inking and lettering, it's a one-man show. Omar add to the Kirby list: Bucky Ant-Man Wasp The Warriors Three Hercules Rick Jones Etrigan (The Demon) Klarion, the witch boy The Guardian The Newsboy Legion Kamandi Forager Big Barda Omac I'd also want to point out that the highest homage ever done to the KING was in Superman: The Animated Series. Check out these key episodes in order: Tools of the trade Father's Day Apokolips Now part 1 & II Those 4 episodes is the SUPERMAN movie of my dreams. - Victory Fri, 11 Dec 2009 10:46:43 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/99839-stan-lee-confirms-thor-cameo#comment-556925 Thor's looking good, but I hope they leave out the thee's, thou's, verily's and nay's though. Ultimate Thor was way better with out them. With them I doubt main stream audiences would even bother seeing the movie. - tremerefury Fri, 11 Dec 2009 02:31:42 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/99839-stan-lee-confirms-thor-cameo#comment-556927 Stan Lee is a knob. Excelsi-whore! - B Dead Thu, 10 Dec 2009 10:04:20 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/99839-stan-lee-confirms-thor-cameo#comment-556929 OMAR! MY BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER! Thank you for standing up for Jack Kirby. Many times, relatively young and uninitiated fans look at his art as "crude" and "unrealistic' because they don't get the concept of his intentional distortions of the human form. Of course nobody looks like his characters in real life. They're not supposed to! Dynamic perspective, and propulsive action were the order of the day when he was working in comics and, although his characters may not be "realistic" like Alan Moore's or Neal Adams', they live in their own reality. Just look at the work of Frank Miller on Sin City, and tell me how realistic his figures are. It's all exaggeration for the sake of dramatic effect, and extreme action. That's where these critics of Kirby's art lose touch with his concepts. Anyway, I'm glad to see that there are still those who understand, and revere his contribution to the media, and the fact that, without his bombastic cover art, people maight have stuck with the often static, uninteresting art of DC books. Sure, Carmine Infantino, and Gil Kane did great work for them, but until Kane went to Marvel, much of what he did was missing that component of energy he morphed into a new style. Long Live The King INDEED! - Rickart Thu, 10 Dec 2009 05:35:43 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/99839-stan-lee-confirms-thor-cameo#comment-556931 @ dandman: I meant to say too attack... My mind is still trying to grasp how your here at Superherohype...and attacking Kirby's artwork. Let this sink in before you respond...Kirby thought up and designed the look and style of costume and powers for the following... Marvel Comics Thor (thought I should mention him first) The Xmen The Fantastic Four The Hulk Iron Man Nick Fury Doctor Doom The Watcher The Silver Surfer The Inhumans Galactus The Black Panther Captain America (He and Joe Simon created Cap before Marvel Comics...was well Marvel Comics. He co-created Cap for Timely Comics which later would turn into Marvel. DC The New Gods Darkseid - (which Marvel then ripped off by inventing Thanos.) Mister Miracle Orion Challengers of the Unknown So you see, your opinion honestly dont mean squat in the grand scheme of things! - Omar Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:39:16 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/99839-stan-lee-confirms-thor-cameo#comment-556933 @ dandman: Wow...everyone is entitled to their opinion but seriously to attach Kirby's artwork and style is just...oh theres no nice way of putting this...its just dumb. He designed the characters for pretty much the whole damn Marvel Universe. So unless you can do better and have created something that over 50 years later people are still admiring and those characters he created still have the same uniforms and look...just keep your comments to yourself. They really have no place here. You obviously have no grasp of what this man did for the world of comic books that we all enjoy. - Omar Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:19:34 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/99839-stan-lee-confirms-thor-cameo#comment-556935 By Odin's Eye, the immortal Stan Lee hath spoken!! Let it be known to all that Stan Lee doth be the man!! - Omar Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:10:25 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/99839-stan-lee-confirms-thor-cameo#comment-556937 WHOA! dandman, cut the medication in half willya? (or take a double dose!)In fact, take it with a tall, cold glass of SHUT THE F**K UP! How's that for immature? MAN! I love shooting at an open net! - Rickart Wed, 09 Dec 2009 13:32:41 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/99839-stan-lee-confirms-thor-cameo#comment-556939 Go Stan!!! - prozac pedro Wed, 09 Dec 2009 10:35:27 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/99839-stan-lee-confirms-thor-cameo#comment-556941 Oh yeah, and Kriby's "contribution" to art is akin to Ray Kroc's "contibution" to cuisine. - dandman Wed, 09 Dec 2009 10:16:07 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/99839-stan-lee-confirms-thor-cameo#comment-556943 Mental midgets are the kind of people who can't make a logical point in their arguments and instead call people names. I refuse to engage in your pathetic, childish games. That does not make me "whiny" it makes me more MATURE than you, Rikart. Why don't you take a big dose of "Getoveryourself!" Oh nad BTW "KIRBY"S ART SUCKSS!!!!!!!!!" "KIRBY"S ART SUCKSS!!!!!!!!!" "KIRBY"S ART SUCKSS!!!!!!!!!" "KIRBY"S ART SUCKSS!!!!!!!!!" "KIRBY"S ART SUCKSS!!!!!!!!!" "KIRBY"S ART SUCKSS!!!!!!!!!" - dandman Wed, 09 Dec 2009 09:56:57 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/99839-stan-lee-confirms-thor-cameo#comment-556945 Not a bad fit there Chilli! I've been thinking the same thing. I just hope that our familiarity with him as an actor, we don't think, "Oh yeah, There's Matt Damon", rather than "Hey, it's Captain America". So, Victory! I looked at your work, and I am duly impressed. Very strong stuff, and great sense of composition. Did you do the inking as well as the pencils? Regardless, I like it. Keep up the fine work. EXCELSIOR!!! - Rickart Wed, 09 Dec 2009 09:05:26 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/99839-stan-lee-confirms-thor-cameo#comment-556947 Cool. I am looking forward to THOR. But what about CAPTIAN AMERICA? I saw preview to Clint Eastwood's new movie "Invictus" Matt Damon is in that movie...he plays the part of a blonde, ruggby player. Aftger seeing that....I thought "MATT DAMON SHOULD PLAY CAPTIAN AMERICA!" strength & honor lads - chilipalmer Wed, 09 Dec 2009 08:45:42 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/99839-stan-lee-confirms-thor-cameo#comment-556949 Ah-HAH! I HAD forgotten that fact! I wish I still had those books. I still vividly recall the cover drawing of the Surfer and now, as then, I still wonder who decided on the BROWN background! Sometimes the artist had very little to ay about such details. I used to own pretty much every Marvel comic from the first issues until about 1972, when I sold them off for a pittance for cash I needed for school. Of course, most of them had been read to tatters, and weren't worth all that much to a collector, but it was great just having all that great reference in my early attempts at sequential art. Marvel's artists were the masters! See what I mean about fanboys (and girls) who have no concept of the history behind the comics they read now? Kirby's art was considered crude by many people, but it was a conscious choice on his part, to work in that style. Try to find anyone working today who has that kind of dynamism, and almost cinematic flow from panel to panel. Can't think of anyone, except maybe Moore and, on the rare occasion he works anymore, Adams. I'll have to check out your stuff. Sounds like it'll be interesting. - Rickart Wed, 09 Dec 2009 07:51:22 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/99839-stan-lee-confirms-thor-cameo#comment-556951 Thanks Rickart. Mojojackson: That's interesting. I swear I have the same suspicion. I guess it's because you see any of Kat Dennings images online, and it kinda makes you scream "Aesir Goddess of Death, please take me to thy kingdom!" LOL. Storywise, it would be a pretty shrewd move if they do that. Stan Lee was and is THE MAN, and Jack Kirby is the once and future KING. Being an artist myself, I had to understand early on that no matter how good you are, there will always be people that will loathe your work. Different strokes for different folks and all that. BTW you can love, loathe, or at least check out my stuff in the Facebook group Voodoo Ink, or in Myspace under voodooinkcomic. I don't think there's anything of Kirby's style in my style, but I'd love to have his intensity, energy and drawing speed. I LOVE Jack Kirby. I love him as much as Alan Moore. To me those 2 are the most influential creators in the history of comic books. Even though, his artwork may seem jarring to the modern reader, I think his legacy and name should be RESPECTED by everyone who reads and appreciates comic books. Without Kirby there would be NO Marvel Comics, and DC would be a pretty boring place without Darkseid. P-E-A-C-E. PS: Reed Richards did outwit Galactus, but he had divine help. Or have you forgotten the Watcher? - Victory Wed, 09 Dec 2009 07:18:13 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/99839-stan-lee-confirms-thor-cameo#comment-556953 Now you see, Mojo? This is why I try not to get involved in these little cultural dust-ups with mental midgets like this "dandman"! Everybody on this site has been kicking sand in my face for saying that Stan Lee has spent decades taking all the credit for Jack Kirby's creations (albeit often suggested by Lee, but fleshed out visually by THE KING!) I never said anything to suggest that Stan's contribution, in characterization and dialogue was not of equal importance, but that "The Man" never gave Jack his due. Now it's nothing but whining and the endlessly repeated mantra of "STAN IS THE MAN"!!! He is indeed one of the few true greats in the history of the comic book form, a living legend who is deserving of the attention he has received in the Marvel based movies. Unfortunately, I started this whole brouhaha by saying that I was tired of the cameos, and that sometimes they can take the viewer out of the film when a scene screams, "Look there's Stan!" Ahhh...What's the use? - Rickart Tue, 08 Dec 2009 13:38:33 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/99839-stan-lee-confirms-thor-cameo#comment-556955 Awwwww...Gonna cry now? You come on with all this attitude, ("KIRBY'S ART SUCKED!!! "DID YOU CREATE ANYTHING GREAT TO BE ABLE TO SAY HIS ART WAS SOOO GREAT?") regarding my admiration for Jack Kirby's contribution to comics, then you get all whiny when I get a little testy? Send me your uninformed, innaccurate criticisms when you learn a little about art, and actually have something to say. - Rickart Tue, 08 Dec 2009 13:25:19 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/99839-stan-lee-confirms-thor-cameo#comment-556957 at least I don't need to lower myself to name-calling. Good defense! - dandman Tue, 08 Dec 2009 12:44:38 +0100
