What makes a good comic?? In my opinion, anything that made Halo a good game! A cool plot, cool hardware (vehicles and weapons), witty characters, and a mystery or two.

P.S. -Great name, Mehve. I take it you mean the Mehve glider from Nausicaa? Being with the Bungie team, you are now my hero.

goog drawing and at least a decent punch line. And not those stupid things where it takes three or four comics to get to the punch line

I would have to say that a good comic needs a good story and good artists... Stan Lee and the Thor comics is a good place to start for good comics.... also the Avengers comics have pretty well thought out plots...
That's some good places to start or maybe the original Superman comics... not the new ones... I mean original as in Superman jumped over buildings not flying... ummmm.... Wonder Woman comics are pretty good with the overall aspect... that's all I pretty much know....
P.S. put in some dark humor.... that's always good for when there is major tension...

I voted for the last choice. Though the options were good. Alex Ross is amazing, looking at his work is like looking into real life. Jim Lee helped to define the 'classic' super hero look of the 90's era, so naturally he's a good choice too. But among these choices others were left out. Todd McFarlane as mentioned before would be great...but so would other artists like Jusko, Kubert, Romita, and Tim Bradstreet (check out the covers to the new Punisher comics). Plus, you can never count out any of the young up and coming independent comic book artists, there are many out there and many are very talented. All in all it's really a tough choice. Great topic.

Oh and I dunno if anyone else has stated this, but with regards to Stan Lee, he wasn't so much the artist as he was the writer/co-creator for the classic comic books you're probably thinking of. The old school artist was Jack Kirby, who defined what a super hero looked like in his day and age. He is now also given creative credit for drawing the old characters like the original X-men, Silver Sufer, etc. (And if I'm not mistaken, Stan Lee's partner when creating Spider-Man was Steve Ditko and not Jack Kirby.)

I just found a site where they rank 100 best comic artists (some great choices are suprisingly left out...but oh well). There are some real good ones there. Figured it would be a perfect link for a topic such as this (if the link works).

Stan Lee is awful his artwork really sucks its not sophisticated enough for Halo. Jim Lee is my choice from your lack luster selection of artist and not writers. You need a really good writer ( not some stupid revisionist idiot, I hate Scott Lobdell) as well as artist. Joe Madureira does friggin Jackie Chan adventures, he's definitely out. I would love on going continuity with lots of wit and cliffhangers. Halo could be a really great comic.

Joe Benitez is amazing check out his work on The Darkness vol. 1 and Magdalena

Travis Charest and Richard Friend their work together on Jim Lee's WildCats vol. 2 and the WildCats/Xmen crossover is groundbreaking-These guys would be my first choice for a Halo comic. These guys are really the best in the business. If your ever at barnes and nobles just breeze through the Wildcats vol. 2 tradepaper back. These guys are trully amazing. DO YOU HEAR ME BUNGIE?

I'm glad you left Dave Gibbons as a choice. It seems only a few folks here participating in this thread are(were) avid comic book fans but does anyone who was collecting a few years back... remember Martha Washington goes to War?

His drawing.... hmm... the kind of 'atmosphere' he creates in his drawings actually remind me alot of Halo. He's no Shirou Masamune but there's a definite sense of tension and action on his page. He captures 'conflicted' really well and I would hazard a guess that a good part of a Halo comic... more nuanced than any 'regular' war comic, would show a bit of conflict. As well as ASSSSS-KICKING :)

Hell, Geoff Darrow would be a hoot as well, but probably bleeding over into the satirical.

Sorry for not replying/voting sooner Lorraine!

But on the actual subject im a huge fan of John Romita Jr. Think he would do a good comic. Though have you seen the new Venom Carnage comic? That could be good for a halo comic

Mignola's atmosphere could give a nice fresh look on Halo.

Totally different but anyway ;some of my own work :
