Parody Preview: X-Men: Die by the Sword #4
Posted by Michael Pinto on Dec 2, 2007 in Comic Books |
On a technical level this cover by Jelena Djurdjevic is great, but the minute you see that lion thing on the shirt the whole cover becomes silly. How come in the year 2007 super heroes still need to prance around in tights? The key to making a speculative genre story work is the suspension of disbelief (i.e. taking your audience on a wild ride with you), and when you’re working in a very visual medium like comic books the devil is in the details.
X-Men: Die by the Sword #4 will be in comic book shops this week.
