Marc Silvestri On Founding Image Comics, Cyberforce and Legacies (Behind The Panel) | SYFY WIRE
/ syfywire - Розваги
Marc Silvestri is an absolute legend. Grew up on his art. So happy to see he is still working and getting even better!
Marc is such a chill dude. Big ups for this interview!
Juan Carlos Romero yeah, the coolest of the bunch for sure. Todd is odd, and Eric too, Rob is over the top, and the others boring and nerdy.
And to think he is 61 (59 in the video) !!! This dude never ages, he looks like he's in his early 40's .
Wow. I hope to age that gracefully!
cool guy
As much i loved Jim Lee's art on the Xmen Silvestri left a huge mark on those books for me.
krisj827 amen.
I prefer Silvestri’s run.
I like them both a lot. I always though they must of bumped Silvestri off the X-Men for Lee.
although he says he was trying to be jim lee in the 90's (which everybody was)every time they had a new artist for a major book like x-men the new guy had to emulate the former one for a while and little by little he would move into his own style and jim lee did a great job emulating mark's and going beyond but to me he still has mark's signature all over his art even today.
krisj827 loved Silvestri more than jim Lee or any of the other Image guys, except for McFarlane. His run on Uncanny X-Men was one off the best.
The need to make The Darkness a movie or TV series. And Marc is such a chill and humble dude. And who doesn't like his style of art is beyond me.
Marc Silvestris Cyberforce was awesome. I look forward to the return of superhero comics at Image.
Man... I'm glad Marc said it himself. I thought the same thing when he started working for Image: this is not Marc Silvestri artwork... this is Marc trying to do the "Image" (a.k.a. Jim Lee) style. Some people back in the day thought I was bonkers.
I want these guys to talk to Jim Lee about WildC.a.t.s.
I remember when Image Comics first began in 1992. I remember seeing the first issues of the Image Comics at the Comic book Stores and the Newsstands. Even though sometimes the Image Comics were late, It was still gratifying to seeing something that was brand new and different. I remember when The Image comics 1992 Imprint was new that time.
My brother would have absolutely loved this interview
My favorite Silvestri art was his early X-Men stuff. That scratchy almost unfinished look. I know, his stuff got better. More polished. But I just really enjoyed the old stuff.
Mark is one of the greats in comics that dosent get the respect he deserves.
The darkness is still my favorite comic book ever
Big fan of Marc. Love watching interviews with him.
Great interview.
Rock stars of the industry
I’m a MASSIVE fan of the first the Darkness game and I’m just learning now that mark worked on the comic 😮
I would have to say that my favorite comics that he worked is the Darkness for Topcow comics!
Silvestri is one of my comic book art heroes
I’ve been reading Image comics for sometime now, my first was Cyber Force Rebirth!
God bless Image Comics.
Side note-Do what you love and you will age gracefully like marc silvestri. The darkness change my life.
SIlvestri was and is the best artist of the founder's. His lineart for Grant's run on New X-men was superb.
ever wonder why you never see Marc Silvestri and Dave Grohl of the FOO FIGHTERS in the same room at the same time?
I collected comics for at least twenty years. In the beginning it was because of the characters. Eventually it became the artists and writers as well as the characters. In the last third of my collecting i followed mainly artists and writers. I assume a lot of people still do this. Was any of this stuff really well written, were the characters interesting? Not really. But the art was amazing. That's why I bought them. That's why most people bought them. I think we would be telling a different story if Image could have kept on point and kept on schedule. Being ridiculously late is what sank most of their books.
Such a great artist and cool guy
Hey, those are some slick Inks on that Hunter/Killer splash on His desk!
cyberforce! one of my all time favorite comics! been an image fan since my childhood!
Silvestri
Is 1'o the 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Legend.
Love the videos but hate having the music in background all the way through interviews, makes it very hard for me to hear what they're saying
It's funny how the interviewer sounds like Todd 😆
2 questions
1. how would it look like if he drew an iron fist series?
2. how would look if he drew a superman 1 shot?
LOVE this cat!!!
Wouldn't it be great if Cyber Force relaunched. With today and cybernetics it would be so relevant.
Power to the creator!
I always liked silvestri
Yeah comics was like movies.everyone watched terminator, predator because Arnold, and sly in Rambo. They wanted to see the actor, and that’s how comics was and kinda still is. Like I was only getting books because the artist. Movies now, it’s all about what character is it, but comics still has artist and writer that I’m attracted to. But Movies are sad now, and we have marvel to thank for that.
Interesting.
Silvestri was my favorite x-men artist. He had better writing than Jim Lee did (even with the same writer) who was fine but got tired of Lee's excessive pinup poses in his art. Hope he's still drawing.
Why silverstri Don't have a dedicated channel on how to draw?
I abandoned Marvel Comics (was never really a DC fan) immediately and went Image Comics and independents.
Same but for me it was how overrated both Marvel and DC are
@@filipbabic4913 any recommendations for a newcomer?
@@dylan8443 Sorry for the long response, my top 10 recomendations would be:
10.Jonathan Hickman's East of West (slow story but it was interesting to say the least)
9.Justin Jordan's Luther Strode (seriously violent so just be prepared for a lot of blood)
8.Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead (good zombie book, but I never understood the hype)
7.Brian K Vaughn's Paper Girls (the coloring is really good)
6.Kuro The Artist's 5 Years Later (its a web comic but its a nostalgia trip if you ever watched Ben 10 and Danny Phantom)
5. Todd MacFarlane's Spawn (you can watch the HBO show if you dont feel like reading the first 10-20 issues, plus Kieth David is a win)
4.Rob Guillory's Chew (guy eats stuff, thats all the hints you get)
3.Brian K Vaughn's Saga (trust me when I say you'll love it, and you'll understand why many fans STILL WAIT FOR THE 2nd PART OF THE COMIC TO CONTINUE)
2.Garth Ennis's The Boys (this is heavy R rated and its much more crazy than the show, it also has a very interesting take on superheroes)
1.Robert Kirkman's Invincible (my #1 favorite comic ever, recomend you should read it before the animated show releases later this year)
@@filipbabic4913 Thank you for typing this out. Definitely gonna check out those recommendations.
cyberforce blew my socks as a kid
And you know why the artists mattered back in the days... because of WIZARD magazine! One of the problems today: We don't have a WIZARD and that's why we don't have artists superstars anymore! Bring back a WIZARD mag!
Instead of Wizard, I follow these artists on Instagram and every now and then, they offer me other suggested artists to follow.
Almost forgot how much I would look forward to every issues of Wizard. Those were amazing times.
I feel sorry for those that got screwed over for creator rights before Image comics. But for those after Image comics got what they deserved.
12:33
Marc Sylvestri looks like Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters!
He should least Universal the movie rights to the monsterverse would have some cool characters to fight and the Darkness and witchblade would fit perfectly into it
5:30 “ the creator was more popular then the characters” and now it’s the other way around
Is this guy own Zenescope too🤔
Mirage Studios did pretty much everything Image did before Image. The only thing Image did different is the people involved all worked for Marvel before breaking out on their own.
The Rooster the only popular thing they had was TMNT though. That’s probably why it wasn’t as big of a deal. Image really did the damage they sought out to do.
If you want to get technical, Aardvark-Vanaheim provided the blueprint that Mirage copied for TMNT, right down to the talking animals operating in a world of humans (Cerebus.) Image copied Dave Sim's original intention for A-V being a creator-owned self-publishing house; they were just way more successful.
@@RockandrollNegro He didn't sell out either. Eastman and Laird sold out to have their creations dumbed down for kids. Yeah, they got millions but I'm sure fans of their comic book lost respect for them.
Q: Marvel or DC?
A: Image!
lol
marc silvestri looks like he listens to foo fighters
Weird hearing him talk about image and the Brotherhood after what Todd di to Neil Gaiman. And it was so pointless and petty in addition to being completely opposite of their supposed mission statement.
Cyberforce trash
