The article discusses the importance of art in comic books, highlighting the work of Jorge Corona on the Transformers comic series.
A great artist can elevate a comic far beyond the original script. While writers are an essential part of the comic making process, it’s impossible to overstate how vital great art is to the comic book medium. Every year, ComicBook strives to recognize the best of the best in terms of comic artists, from the talents behind indie books, to the big two, to comics based on popular licenses. All qualify for the Golden Issue Awards each year, and the finalists are voted on by the ComicBook staff.
This year featured some very tough competition, including some of the talents behind books like the ongoing Transformers series kicked off under the direction of writer/artist Daniel Warren Johnson. Warren Johnson quickly established a style that stood far apart from anything seen in the previous Transformers books from Marvel, Dreamwave, and IDW. That style. After six issues handling the art, Warren Johnson began solely serving as writer, with artist Jorge Corona taking on the next six issues. Any readers concerned about Warren Johnson’s absence on art quickly had those fears assuaged. Corona’s art felt like a logical continuation of what had been seen in the previous issues, but with a distinct tone that still felt all his own. The series run blends the character designs and narrative elements of the original ’80s animated series with a grittier realism closer to the Paramount films. The actual damage and impact of the Transformers conflict is felt on an issue to issue basis. In many ways, the story feels pretty close to the classic Transformers storyline, but in a world far darker than the one depicted in the first two seasons of the show. Corona’s art perfectly captures that, starting his run with the jaw-dropping issue #7. Throughout the first six issues, the Decepticons had been led by Starscream, and found themselves in something of a draw with the Autobots. With limited resources, Starscream’s cruelty had been on full display, stripping his own allies for part
