Yeah, and his Afterlife with Archie covers are out of this world. I don't know. It's a close call, because I dig Staples, too, even though I don't dig Saga all that much.

i gave up on From Dust Till Dawn series and a random horror movie on netflix to settle on an episode of Bojack. Probably a good decision, the From Dusk Till Dawn series is particularly boring, it's trying to expand parts of the movie but all it does is stretch them out and drag the whole thing down.

Afterlife with Archie has good covers but they don't come close to Saga's IMO

Ever since once of you guys pointed out how she doesn't know how backgrounds work, I can't unsee it. I still love her art to death though.

I never knew orange was such an amazing color.
His covers for Afterlife with Archie looks awesome, but I love Fiona's cover work too (well her art overall), so congrats to her.

Saga won best ongoing/limited... over The Valiant... ok :/
Pretty sure that's something someone who hasn't read Afterlife with Archie would say.

welp, not a single win for Valiant, but still had a lot of nominations. I think the awards were well-deserved across the board, at least from the stuff I've actually read.
What awards are you looking at, btw? I'd like to have a look at them.

Harvey Awards. I think they're the second biggest after the Eisner's?
Winners and noms are here: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/09/26/live-from-the-harvey-awards-2015-in-baltimore/
I need to Ninjak for a bit.
Cool, thanks.
Once again, Steve Epting is ignored for best artist for his work on Velvet. Very annoying, this man does not get enough credit.
I'm glad Elizabeth Breitweiser got a nom for best colorist at least. She should have won in my opinion, because she elevates gritty books.

Epting is top tier, and I'm surprised he wasn't up there. I think Staples would have won regardless, but still. Paolo Rivera was MIA as well.
Indeed.
Ehhhhh
He looks like Snake Eyes maybe

Nobody is as cool as Snake Eyes, though.

There's certainly an archetype for ninjas, but Ninjak is one of the few I know of that has his hair not under a mask.

It's certainly unique. I'm pretty sure I've seen some character or another with something like that, but I can't recall at the moment.
Heck yeah it is! Art is amazing, too.
Staples is pretty amazing. Can't wait to see what she does after Saga.

B-b-b-but that would imply Saga is going to end! Noooooooooooo!

Batman The Black MirrorNow you have to say where this is from
Thanks
I forgot to say that I finished Astro City Family Album yesterday morning. It was pretty awesome. One thing that drove me crazy, though, was how bad the child faces are. You know the kind I'm talking about; looks like an adult face pasted into a child head. Some people just can't draw children. The art was pretty good other than that. And the Alex Ross covers were incredible. Actually, there were some sketches in the back, and one was how Alex Ross drew the little girl character who looked so weird in the actual comics, and it looked fantastic. Ross has no problem with the proper face proportions.

Seems about right
They're children. They're terrible.
Grayson's tie-in is godlike. Some of them are genuinely good. Red Hood and the Outlaws, Constantine, Sinestro, The Phantom Stranger, Swamp Thing, and Grayson were all pretty good. I liked Green Arrow's and Superman's as well.
Out of all the ones I read, the only ones I'd actively avoid are Pandora, Batgirl, and Suicide Squad. JLDark and Batman were super okay. I don't remember any others that I read.

Also, I should have Volume 1 of both Shadowman and Bloodshot on the way soon. (Didn't pick them, just getting sent them). So I'll be able to try some Valiant. In case the question ends up having merit: if you were to pick one trade/series for getting into the Valiant stuff, what would you recommend?

Well, I did say few lol
Bloodshot and Shadowman... probably won't hook you. They are great, don't get me wrong, but they're not the series that'll really show you what separates Valiant as a publisher. My usual go-to suggestions are:
The Valiant
Harbinger vol 1
Ivar, Timewalker vol 1
Archer & Armstrong vol 1
The Death-Defying Dr. Mirage vol 1
Any of those, just pick the one that appeals to you
except Ivar, which seems to appeal to no one for some bizarre reason, but is secretly their best current series
