ooh thanks!!

Who’s your favorite artist (fanon or canon)?

I can't say I know anything about art! The quick answer is Bill Sienkiewicz and Rod Reis, who both do fabulous free-form art like so:

Then early X-Factor Investigations (left) had a smooth, noir style that was really well-done by Ryan Sook (pencils)/Wade von Grawbadger (his actual name apparently???? inks)/Dennis Calero (both)/Jose Villarrubia (colours). The colourist I feel like I have to credit because the whole run has washed-out, greenish colours that really add to the atmosphere. However I also have to put in that he whitewashes two of the regulars h e a v i l y. From what I've seen that's partly the fault of editorial, but it bears mentioning.

Also have to credit Marco Checcetto (pencil/ink) and Andres Mossa (colour) for drawing the sickest version of Sunspot in Avengers World (right). Their service in making my 3rd-fave look cool will not go forgotten. Checcetto's work on Elektra in the most recent Daredevil also looks great, though I only see the covers.

Some bonus mentions for art that I've read that was enjoyable are Jae Lee (pencils)/Al Milgrom (Inks) on 90s X-Factor and Terry Shoemaker/Al Milgrom on assorted X-Force/New Mutants fill-ins

What got you into comics?

Scully, you're not gonna believe this one. In 2018 I was living in the UK for a bit and came down the flu for the first time in years at the same time as Deadpool 2 was coming out with the associated marketing campaign. I was stuck in bed for 3 days straight. Looking for easy watching, I pulled up Deadpool 1. I don't remember anything of it except the Hugh Jackman joke and that it wasn't very funny.

Because I had nothing else to do, I did some googling and pulled up the Spider-Man/Daredevil joke comic that was ongoing at the time. I enjoyed some bits, I didn't enjoy some bits, I realized comics were a fully unexplored world to me. I had no idea it was so convoluted, cheesy, and self-referential. So I just searched it on tumblr because I was, again, stuck in bed except for meals and one miserable milk run. That turned up a whole bunch of those 'all LBGTQ+ superheroes in comics!' graphics because credulous nobodies think that Deadpool is 'representation' instead of 90s homophobic gay chicken gone too far.

Knowing this and being neck-deep in 90s Legally We're Not Allowed To Do Gay Stuff But We're Trying Hard DS9 at the time I got hit, I decided to follow up on the other gay characters I saw in the graphics to see how/why they were allowed to be gay on-panel in the 90s. That started me off with The Authority v1-4, then the Shatterstar reading list put together by lornahs on tumblr since I knew that character had a cameo in the new movie. The rest is history!
