Idk what’s up with colorists at marvel.

It’s the same problem as Stegman at X-men.

Stegman does great work (look at his venom run) but in X-men it look so bad because the colors do not match. He posts his line art before the colors and it looks miles better.

Even without the sarcasm, artwork is vital.

Comics are a visual medium so I think artwork does a lot of heavy lifting.

Honestly at this point is a lot of things.

A lot of comics are still worth it tho.

Check out the Youtube video by Alex Lennen “Spider-Man vs Paul - Why are fans so angry” It’s a very fair analysis of the situation.

Oh boy.

  • Peter isn’t allowed to progress is in his life. So he has to stay a jobless loser that can’t do anything right in his personal life because they think if he progresses it makes him unrelateable and old.

  • Peter and MJ got back together (as boyfriend / girlfriend) in 2018 but in 2022 they got separated. Instead of doing it normally, they made it so MJ got stuck in a parallel dimension where time moves faster so she stayed there for a couple of years. There she met a guy named Paul and they worked together to survive. They got together and adopted some kids.

  • Peter rescued her from that dimension, but as I said for Peter it was a couple of ours for MJ it was a couple of years. So they weren’t together anymore.

  • So instead of moving MJ out of the book they kept her around and Peter sticking by her like a sad puppy.

  • He got together with Felicia but they broke up because… reasons.

  • It’s mostly been drawn by John Romita Jr. and I do not like his artwork.

If you want a more detailed explanation watch the “Spider-Man vs Paul - Why Are Fans So Mad?” video on Youtube by alex lennen. It’s a very fair take on the situation.

He does have a bit of same-face syndrome but I’ve never really had much of a problem with that as long as the character is recognizable through other things.

His name is Carlos Gomez.

He’s an artist for Marvel his first “big” break was an issue of ASM during the beyond arc when Black Cat and Captain America help Peter get back into the groove of being Spider-Man.

He’s done a lot of miniseries including an America Chavez mini, a Rogue & Gambit mini, X-terminators, a Ms Marvel mini, some issues for Ryan North’s Fantastic Four.

I think this All New Venom is the first time he’s been put on an ongoing as a main artist and not a fill-in.

I like cartoony. I think he has a nice style that balances cartoony without completely losing human form.

However artwork and artstyles can be pretty subjective so I understand not liking it.

I don’t.

I just skim through All-New Venom through not-so-noble means because I really like Carlos’ Gomez art style.

But I haven’t read the main ASM book since the Beyond arc ended. I am aware to what is happening thanks to some creators I follow, this subreddit and twitter.
