      @@ukesfigures not a huge fan of the Tim look. But you did such a fanfuckingtastic job with that one, I brought up CC Beck. Because it's a look that no company has ever captured right. I did the same thing for my own captain marvel custom. Took a head off a Shazam from that Ed McGuiness figure. But think it looks too much like Bruce Wayne.🦇💪👍

      @ Schuster’s art on Action no.1 is a culmination of 5 years of preparation. Panel after panel awesomeness. Superman no.14 from 1942 was great cover-to-cover. But, you know Schuster had to resort to ghost artists most of the time. Swan and Infantino collaborated on a solid origin story in 1973. Gerry Conway and Garcia-Lopez did a very good job on their 1978 Solomon Grundy story. Tim Sale and Loeb’s book was different. It had the soul of Schuster and Siegel and the rigor of Stan Lee and John Romita’s Spider-man volumes. (Trust me, I paged all Action, Superman, DC Comics Presents, etc. volumes page by page to come to these conclusions.)

    Great work! I don’t know too much about Superman but I saw this in my recommended and instantly clicked. It’s really well done and I love the ink shading. My only suggestion would not be for the figure but for recording as I highly recommend using a Pop filter in front of your mic to prevent “popping you P’s” in the voiceover (you’ll notice your audio levels go up, or “pop” when you say a word with P, a pop filter prevents this). But again excellent work!! Subscribed!!

    Hey you made a youtube channel! I'm not *too* much of a fan of Tim Sale's style, although I can't argue with that it's very striking. What you did is incredibly impressive though, it's instantly recognizable and the paintwork is fantastic. The subtle highlights on his face really sells it all! From what I saw in the pages you skimmed through, the comic looks pretty beautiful though. I might check it out! I don't really have a favourite Superman story aside from the Michael Turner Supergirl one, Kingdom Come, and Superman: Peace on Earth but I've been meaning to read more!
    I'm gonna share this channel around if you don't mind, brother. Love the quality of everything!

      @@ukesfigures As someone who personally has had suicidal thoughts and has helped prevented friends making that final choice I feel that is an extremely narrow read of what happened. The internal dialogue you have in that moment feels like an unbearable weight and that the only way you can lift it by letting it go by ending it. Sometimes what you need in that moment to stop those thoughts is a reminder. That there actually are people who would care you were gone. She didn’t kill herself in that page because Superman said some line that made her rethink her life. She didn’t jump because in that moment when you need someone to help you, when you think no one could possibly help. Someone did. The idea that it was simply his words that saved her in the moment is the simplification. She didn’t jump because in that moment when she was at her lowest someone was there to lift her. To show her she wasnt alone.

      @@Sherdderworld I definitely agree with your take and think that is the general idea of what is supposed to be portrayed, I just think that the page has been reposted and in online discussion so much that people generally lose the meaning of the actual moment. I just think in the scope of things that it was a relatively un-necessary moment to just kind of be a simple display of why Superman is good (which I know is the entire point of All Star Superman but it cam kind of feels like cheap and easy bait). Also on a kind of unrelated note I feel like it is a bit out of touch to have the teenager be dressed like a stereotypical 2000s "emo/alternative" person, maybe it's just me but it feels like low hanging fruit to have that be the depiction of someone going through a mental health crisis. Maybe it is just me looking at it from a 2020s lense but it feels just like a little weird and stereotypical (even if not intended) but I might be looking too into it

    • @ukesfigures
      @ukesfigures  10 днів тому

      This is an incredibly subjective take but in my opinion:
      1) I think that it has lost it's meaning online be because of how much people have overshared this page. Most people instead of looking at the overall scope of why it is meaningful just kind of look at it as "Superman is so amazing that he can even talk someone out of jumping" (tho that's not a fault of the story itself)
      2) Though the point of the moment is that "Superman would stop to help anyone" I feel that from a writing perspective it is a little bit weird to me for them to throw it in their abruptly but again that might be looking at it retroactively from an internet perspective
      3) Honestly one of my bigger issues (and this is kind of petty ngl) is that they depicted the girl as a very stereotypical mid 2000s "emo/alt/edgy" person, it just feels a little bit on the nose in a semi poor tasting way, but that's just me
