Yikes, I hope not. Just saying but if I ever walked in the comic store and saw a book with art like that I'd laugh heartly and then put in back on the shelf.Nekken wrote:Totaku wrote:This would be the first I've heard of it. Judging from the art style, this "new rendition" appears to be an attempt to argue that KS is a form of cultural appropriation. This new dev team feels that KS, because it is done by people not born into a specific culture with certain storytelling conventions and styles, mocks those styles. So they intend to reverse the roles in an attempt to demonstrate, in some way, how that makes them feel. In MAMA's case, that means adopting an art style that would typically be thought of as Western, or perhaps more to the point, as American.
Which kind of makes me wonder what KS would look like if it was drawn by the guy currently drawing Batwoman which is fantastic.
