I bought Balent's Catwoman for the T&A. Wasn't even sure if there was a story in there. Soft porn title lasted 5 years, and then died when Balent left.
At the time, Balent defended his art by saying Catwoman's physique was modelled on his wife's. Tarot kind of undermines the credibility of that statement: basically, he likes drawing big hooters.
I'll tell you who I hate: Image Comics. Millaaaaah is writing Wanted for them at the moment, and its a great title. But Image can't help themselves: the first top selling title they've had in years, and they put out foil covers, alternative covers, and then the Wanted Dossier. I picked the Wanted Dossier up yesterday at lunch by accident, thinking it was the third installment in the series - I'd not looked at the cover very closely. It was shite from beginning to end, in true Image fasion: re-hashed plot, some useless background, and random drawings of some key characters. I've thrown it away already.
