cyclopssummers asked: You're blog and shared hatred for Greg Land has inspired me to do something. I might just make a Fuck-Yeah-Phil-Noto tumblr. Why? Because it's Phil Noto.

I feel like a real blog.
I’m trawling through the Sisterhood arc on Uncanny at the moment, if anyone has any requests, don’t hesitate to respond to this post.

comiccharm asked: I just discovered your blog and feel your pain. I logged onto the Marvel app store today and there were at least 2 Greg Land covers in the 'featured' section. I cringed, closed the app and starting browsing Comixology instead. :<

zakurai asked: Not so much an ask as an observation. Now, I read comics, I'm relatively new but I've read Uncanny from start to reboot. I don't usually pay attention to the artists names, though I do recognise artwork. Unless it's Jim Cheung because I have so much love for that man. HOWEVER I did notice that I had this hatred for someones style. How the faces looked wrong, how it looked like...

Yet another good article!
I like that Mr. Brothers doesn’t make these critiques personal, despite the fact that there will undoubtedly be a number of misguided comment-makers who will both take and make this personal. Again.

Hips Don't Lie: Pelvis? What Pelvis?
comicartcorrections:
Pelvis? What pelvis?
This is a special Greg Land-specific category. My hatred of the way this man draws pelvises and hips is deep, fiery and eternal. What’s worse is that he deliberately does it, and he has no actual excuse of fucking up the way he does: He traces ALL his shit these days. No, those impossible pelvises are a DELIBERATE choice on his part, and that makes me...

In response to that anon, let me expand on the last point:
“P.s. the x ladies are looking mighty hot lately, hope Land doesn’t read your blog and tone down the ladies”
Tone down the “lady”, you mean, since all of Greg Land’s women look nearly the same. In fact, in a tutorial, he advises the potential artist to “Draw the kinds of features readers...

Why show us Betsy’s face and emotions?
Her breast and nipple will do just fine.
Is it just me, or does Erik have serious off camera blow job face?
Oh good lord.

Anonymous asked: Thanks for starting this page. Been looking for one site I can hit to admire Greg Lands work. Gotta say tho I don't understand why you would stand up a site devoted to Greg Lands work only to constantly slag his work. If you don't enjoy it, why would you create a blog devoted to it? In the end, it's Xmen and if you love the X franchise, then you see right past any specific...

Anonymous asked: That awkward moment when the only new comic on your regular reading list at the shop is Uncanny X-Men and you have to buy a random issue of Damaged from Radical Comics to have some art to retreat to that is radically different to Land's when his art is too horrible to contemplate. Like when you look at the cover and WHY DOES BETSY LOOK LIKE SHE JUST GOT LAID? (Sidenote: Radical Comics is...

I hate him so much, he makes every woman he draws wear pink hoochy lip gloss; even Kitty, I’m upset.

Anonymous asked: Thank you so much for this blog! Greg Land's art pisses me off so hard, and that one recent Psylocke "screaming" example just drove the point home. I wonder if Land gets his only references for women from men's magazines and porn. And since women in men's magazines usually just smile or have blank looks, there is only porn left for referencing emotional expressions....

Anonymous asked: What makes me angry is that reviews like that will be pointed to by Land's paymasters as reasons to keep hiring him. To keep giving him titles. Because they'll say he's a "draw" artist, people will buy a book because of him. Meanwhile we're all wondering whether or not we can bear to keep buying Uncanny X-Men, talk of dropping the title, and just want him to GO AWAY...

witch-or-not asked: i dare you to check out the preview for Uncanny #6 and zoom on Magik in the background and the monster she is fighting (page 5). she looks like she is making sweet love to it instead of being in battle. i cannot.

“The biggest draw here is the GORGEOUS artwork by Greg Land! His work is beautiful! Some accuse him of being too “cheesecake” which can be valid. His women are quite sensual, but it’s just so gorgeous and easy to look at, I simply cannot find fault with it. I’m going out on a limb here and declaring his faces to be the absolute best in the business! They’re just amazing!”
Anonymous asked: Did you notice how in the Pam Anderson tracing, he actually makes her boobs BIGGER and her waist SMALLER? Because, you know. Realistic.

Anonymous asked: Is it just me or does Greg seem to use Jennifer Lopez and Pamela Anderson for his tracing? As well as porn, of course.

fantasticraig asked: Greg Land has to know about how much the internet makes fun of him, right? Has he ever argued back or mentioned it? Or is my theory about him not being a real person and just being a name for a Photoshop filter that is ran over magazine cutouts true?

I just thought it might be interesting to take a look between Land’s drawing of Danger and her look from when she was first introduced by Whedon/drawn by Cassaday land: Cassaday: her non-fucking flat, non-fucking human face JUST AN INTERESTING COMPARISON I THINK God damn Cassaday’s real-proportioned figures really highlight how Land thinks ladies are all tits and hair...

Anonymous asked: Oh God Storm's expression in that penultimate panel. That is not a face she would make. That is not a smile I can imagine her smiling under any circumstances. Much less the circumstances of that exchange. It is an expression her face would refuse to make if she tried. Nor for that matter is it the face of any hero. It's not a smile that fits into Lawful or Neutral Good behaviour, and...
