( ) Probably the best artist for humanizing superhero characters while still keeping them super. I bought my first set of guache paints after buying this book and reading about Ross' method of working. Simply inspirational work. If you have the slightest inclination of trying figure drawing or painting, the images in this book should make you pick up a pencil or brush. This book is the perfect vehicle for Alex Ross' gorgeous watercolor paintings of superheroes. Each one, whether part of a story or not, seems designed to stand alone, lending an oddly static quality to his action scenes. The power of the artwork is enough to overcome this. This book, however, is primarily a showcase of his art, and thus does not suffer from this limitation. There is a complete Batman - Superman story here as a bonus, quite good despite its short length. Chip Kidd's text and annotation is also fine and non-intrusive. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Here is the incomparable cast of the DC Comics universe: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman, the Green Lantern, and the rest of the Justice League as you've never seen them before. Mythology brings together the best-loved comic characters in the world, brought to life by one of the most astonishing young artists working in the medium today, Alex Ross. The award-winning designer/writer Chip Kidd and photographer Geoff Spear have teamed up to create a book like no other, with an introduction by M. Night Shyamalan, the acclaimed director of Signs and The Sixth Sense. Ross has often been called "the Norman Rockwell of comics," and this book reveals not only his lifelong love of these classic super heroes but also his vision: Mythology takes you into the studio for a behind-the-scenes look at his fascinating creative process. The combination of Ross's dynamic art and Kidd's kinetic design make images from his most memorable stories-including Kingdom Come, Superman: Peace on Earth, Batman: War on Crime, and Uncle Sam-soar off the more than 280 pages. There are also hundreds of never-before-seen sketches, limited edition prints, and prototype sculptures. Vintage DC comic panels are interspersed throughout, as reference points from which Ross launches his extraordinary interpretations. And most exciting for Ross fans, inside is a DC Comics first: an exclusive, original Superman-Batman story, written by Kidd and painted by Ross. Also included is an all-new origin of Robin, written by Paul Dini. Mythology is a book in which every page explodes with the power of the icons it celebrates.
