The cover doesn&#8217;t really draw your attention, so you wouldn&#8217;t even know how awesome the artwork inside the book is.

Masterful demonstration of pencils by Gary Frank and inking by Cam Smith. On a technical level, very nice.<\/li>\n<li>Men look like men and women look like women, at least in an idealized athletic way. I suppose this could have only been accomplished by using reference models\/photos. Usually, most comic book artists can only ever draw women and children looking like men with boobs or tiny men.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What I DON&#8217;T Like<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Bland non-dynamic layout<\/li>\n<li>Robotic poses. Good example is look at the angry screaming dark-haired lady. Doesn&#8217;t look natural or dynamic at all, but ironically drawn really well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Gary Frank&#8217;s drawing style is kinda mechanical and best suited for maybe more serious tone comic books. It&#8217;s similar to Dave Gibbons art style, best known for his work on &#8220;Watchmen&#8221;. If you were a comic book editor\/art director, I suppose this mechanical style of art is good for drawing Hulk musculature accurately, but maybe hire someone to do the layouts more dynamically. Because Hulk doesn&#8217;t look like he can move that fast here.
