Project Basement swims on with...
Aquaman by Nick Marino
If you read the comments on last week's post, then you already know this... I had a special surprise planned for Project Basement v2: not only will we be showcasing people's favorite characters, but we'll also be showcasing their LEAST favorite characters.
I thought that Byron's drawing of Cap was done previous to my call for least favorites... and even if it was, Byron's still not crazy about the Sentinel of Liberty.
But this Aquaman was done WAAAY before my call for least favorites (way back before v1 even began running on the site). In fact, I happen to love the character of Arthur Curry/Orin/Aquaman. BUT... it wasn't always that way. I used to hold him up as an example of one of the worst superheroes in comics.
That was before I read a lot of Aquaman comics. Peter David, Martin Egeland, Howard Shum, Jim Aparo, Will Pfeifer, Patrick Gleason, John Arcudi, Rick Veitch, and Yvel Guichet -- those are just a few of my favorite Aquaman comic creators. So my message here is this: any one of your least favorite characters can become a favorite if the stories are right.
Now be back next week for a Cable by Wayne Wise Jar Jar Binks by Scott Hedlund!!!
nice! i like that he is stabbing a kraken-ish beast through its EFFING HEAD so much. also, bonus points for purple head goo.
i wanna submit again but i'm unsure what hated character to do. hmm. hafta think about it.
thx! but ya know what? that goo wouldn't drip like that... it's underwater, so i guess it would have floated / dispersed instead. oh well.
you could do a group shot of all your hateds doing an activity you hate.
haha that's a cool idea, but i made a mistake; the way i worded that made it sound like i have so many hated characters it'd be hard to narrow down, but what i meant was i'm mostly indifferent to most characters, or i may think they're silly or poorly designed, but i don't outright HATE them. but after giving it some serious thought, i may have come up with something, although it probably won't be the most exciting drawing....
AudioShocker Shoutouts!
okay, i'm gonna guess the character you dislike the most.... umm, is it Cardiac?
ok...i've never even heard of him, but...wow. is this where they got Osmosis Jones from??
hahaha he does look like Osmosis Jones! i so wanted that movie to be good and it so wasn't... that's actually a really good idea for my hated character...
AudioShocker Shoutouts!
best part: intense armpit hair.
THANK YOU. i was wondering how long it would take someone to notice that...
