  Comments on: Frank Quitely Interviewed by Horcast
Quitely is amazing...that's all that I can reallt say without sounding like an obsessed geek.
Quitely is one of the few artists left in comics (along with Cameron Stewart and Karl Kerschl) who still manage to make superhero comics exciting for me.
It seems as if Quitely has a completely different take on presenting visual ideas than almost anyone else in the field.

 OAFE - X-Men: New X-Men Wolverine review
When Morrison and Frank Quitely took over the book, the costumes were redesigned right along with the plots, putting the X-Men in movie-inspired street clothes.
Quitely's X-Uniforms were definitely influenced by the movie gear, but looked less "tactical" and more "practical." The fl leather was broken up by stylized yellow X's that served both as a graphic element and as nice branding: if the X-Men were looking for social acceptance, then they needed to be easily identified.
As an artist, Frank Quitely is a master of composition and layout, and his figural work is impressive - from the neck down.

 WE3 #1
There is fantastic use of ‘visual speech’ via newspaper headlines and truck logos etc. which Quitely employs to get the basics of the story across during this ‘silent’ section of the book.
Frank Quitely brings one of his most polished performances to this book and uses some clever methods in which to get the story across.
Again with limited dialogue Quitely tells the story of the animals escape from the lab via a network of security cameras which stands out as another example of his intelligent visual-storytelling devices.

Even Frank Quitely’s name, a pseudonym, is a clever trick: a play on the linguistic idiosyncrasy ‘quite frankly’.
Earlier, Quitely was thinking of adding bandages to his wear: on his right hand to raise some false concern, buying a few minutes for Pacheco to arrive.
Quitely — then Vincent — grumbled and complained about the seemingly base-level assignment until he saw what his teacher would do with the subject: beautiful, graceful shapes brought about by deceptively simple creative perceptions.

 All The Rage: Tales Of The Authority And Other Related Matters
A messy situation, but since Quitely had come on board, the book had jumped from 70 to 30 in the Top 100, had received a number of awards nominations, and was becoming a real critical success.
Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely are ensconced at Marvel.
Mark Millar and Frank Quitely are still planning to move to New York, once Frank's sold his house and Mark's sorted the Ireland thing out.

Quitely plays around with perspective in this project, and it makes for a tense opening sequence that keeps the reader off-balance until the major payoff in a two-page that explodes in an unflinching and unbelievable vision of violence.
Conversely, Quitely captures the cuteness of the animal characters nicely, but the reader is so immersed in the dark aspects of the story by the time the animals are revealed, it makes for a deliciously uneasy sensation.
He uses security camera screens to tell the story at cetain points, but those panels are a jumble; there's a realism to it, but it's not linear, the leaving the reader to piece the puzzle together.

 The Book Review: WE3
Their group interaction follows similar natural patterns, no doubt familiar to owners of such animals: the dog leads from the front, driving the other two on and keeping them together; the cat is stubborn and contrary; and the rabbit ambles on, content to be herded and led.
There are moments of aching loneliness in the story: scenes where the animals seem utterly lost, and where their pain is quite palpable.
Frank Quitely's art is the best it has ever been, ably assisted by the subtle palette of colourist Jamie Grant.

 New X-Men #121 (ADD Review)
If Morrison and Quitely, who did the really top-notch JLA: Earth 2 (about as good as superheroes got at the end of the last century), were not going to be in every issue, I was not going to succumb to fanboygeek-completism and buy every issue.
Now, some have pointed out, the pseudoanonymously named Quitely has never really been adept at keeping a monthly schedule, and it may be unfair and even cruel to continue harping on the mattter of lateness and fill-in artists and fill-in fill-in artists, oh my.
Quitely's work is fairly unsatisfying here, but he may not be entirely to blame.

In 1996 Quitely collaborated with Grant Morrison on the Flex Mentallo mini-series for DC/Vertigo.
In 2000, Quitely had a short stint on Warren Ellis' The Authority with writer Mark Millar and as of 2001 Quitely is one of the regular penciller's on Grant Morrison's New X-Men title for Marvel Comics.

 New X-Men: E is for Extinction - Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely - Graphic novel review
Both the writing and the art on this story are modern, accessible and dynamic.
Frank Quitely's art is X-quisitely detailed and both he and Morrison have been justifiably lavished with praise for turning the franchise around.
Dated old-style costumes are replaced with chic designs for women and urban guerilla-wear for men, physiques look powerful but believable, and most of the outrageous curves normally sported by female characters in this genre are rightly ascribed to the team's heartless, diamond-skinned sauce-pot, Emma Frost.

 Great X-pectations- Feb. 2002
I’ve spent a lot of time here complaining about Frank Quitely’s slow, yet occasionally nice artwork, but as I sat and thought about it these last few weeks, I’ve noticed that this is quite a larger problem, and only seems to be getting worse.
That goes a little something like this: Frank Quitely comes in and does two issues, and manages to make the book later than anything done by Joe Maduriera, in that short time frame, and the NEW regular fill-in artist, Ethan Van Sciver, comes over and does two more issues, also late.
Quitely makes a return visit for an issue, the ‘Nuff Said issue, and I think the next one as well.

 All The Rage: An Authoritative Rage - Updated!!
The word is that Joe Quesada has personally headhunted Frank Quitely with a huge wodge of cash to take over the artistic duties on Daredevil.
While Quitely's speed isn't the greatest, his stunning work has won him many fans in recent years, as well as fill-ins.
Contrary to other rumours and a previous rant of mine (now removed), I'm hearing that Frank Quitely wasn't poached mid-run, but the Marvel offer was made to take place after his Authority run.

 Barbelith Underground > Comic Books > Frank Quitely - Ron Smith. Has anyone seen them in he same room together?
To see Frank Quitely doing X-men is enticing me back to the mighty world of Marvel again.
Quitely's dynamism and narrative abilities are uncontested, and Ron Smith was/is an astonishingly bad artist.
I agree with the statement that Frank Quitely is among the best artists in the comics field.

Quitely's artwork is not everyone's cup of tea, but for my money, he's one of the few artists who could have carried this issue off so well.
The bizarre design of Xavier's mindscape, a mixture of wicked comedy and disturbing imagery, comes through perfectly, and the infectious madness of Cassandra Nova is quite clear in the traps she has set up around Xavier's mind.
Of course, while this issue is all conveyed through the work of Frank Quitely, it comes from the imaginative mind of Grant Morrison.

 OAFE - X-Men: Stealth Beast review
Frank drew him to look like, well, Beast; as in "Disney's Beauty and the ~." When he showed up in Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men, however, John Cassaday gave him a slight redesign, so he now looks like a blue version of Garfield, and that's what this figure represents.
Quitely put him in a full leather suit with a bulky coat, and Cassady gave him some...

 COMICON.com: FRANK QUITELY'S RIOTOUS X-RENDERING
Don't get me wrong, Townsend has done good work in the past, but if you look at Quitely's work (especially when he inks himself), he usually uses very little thick-and-thin variation but rather a pretty even contour line (around his figures).
I didn't really pay attention to the inking when I glanced through it, but I honestly can't believe that the same inker is great on every penciler they've had for the last 4 or more years.
Seeing reprinted stories when there weren't any comic book shops in my area was a primo chance of reading a story I've never seen before, as well as seeing a sampling from a different writer and artist on a character.

 Comic Book Galaxy - Celebrating Five Years of Pushing Comix Forward
Now joined at the hip with Frank Quitely, the two seemed a natural pairing on the title.
I also enjoyed several pages of Quitely's artwork, but this is where I have to disagree with most positive praise for the titleĀ…a lot of Quitely's art looked rushed and lacked detail.
Quitely's artwork will be its downfall as the hectic pace it keeps will be slowed to a stall in the between-issues wait of two-three months.

 Amazon.de: We3: English Books: Grant Morrison,Frank Quitely   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Quitely's art consists of lucid images of mayhem and sweetness that, in the most impressive spreads, fractalize to express the way these animals "experience time and motion differently." It's a groundbreaking and bravura performance.
Quitely's precise drawings impart an air of realism, and his imaginative panel arrangements and intelligent pacing make the whole thing work.
Morrison is currently devoted to superheroes, and this tangential foray is something to be savored.

 NEWSARAMA
The idea behind the All-Star line isn’t to spin the characters into a new timeline, a new universe, or a new continuity, rather, the creators are telling stories set in a contemporary period that both builds on the histories of the respective characters, while remaining fresh and as timeless as possible.
So Frank and I are keeping modern sensibilities in mind while trying to make sure that each of our stories addresses some basic human fear or need in a big, colorful, comic book way.
Frank and I have our own way of integrating all the previous takes but we don't dwell on the origin or the early years, so it doesn't really affect what we're doing.

 We3 - Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely - Graphic novel review
When you take into consideration the fact that the US navy trains dolphins to guard their ships and that scientists have developed ways of controlling the minds of insects, the basic premise behind We3 should come as no surprise.
Unwilling to give up without a fight and more than capable of holding their own, the three go on the run, trying to track down their original owners who cared and loved for them as family pets.
Because the language of the animals is unsophisticated, the script is tight and minimalist, leaving much of the story telling down to Quitely's stunning visuals.

Superman is quite certainly the most recognizable superhero in the existence of the genre.
Reactions are usually mixed when it comes to the idiosyncratic art style of Frank Quitely.
While the range of his palette is completely open, there’s a lack of vision in the colors that bring to the fore all the weaknesses in Quitely’s design.

 All Star Superman #1 - PopMatters Comic Book Review
What is clear is that we are early on in the relationship of Lois and Clark, a creative choice that gives both writer and reader freedom in exploring where it goes.
Quitely's art, as ever, is very good and vividly colored by Jamie Grant.
Quitely's square-jawed style is so distinctive that you can always identify his work, but I did think that his Lex Luthor looked a little too much like Cassandra Nova from the New X-Men run Frank did with Grant.

Now they must be found before they wreak havoc with their mechanical shells and cutting-edge military hardware.
The real hero here is artist Frank Quitely who makes this comic a delight to look at but, assuming Morrison was working full script, he should also be praised for one of his least self-indulgent of offerings (always a possiblilty with Grant).
This is a great collection of the original three issues and well worth a place on any comics fan's shelf.

Quitely's art is phenomenal, and his style, which lends all kinds of interesting depth to his regular "The Authority" series, literally pumps up the volume of the characters in JLA: Earyth 2.
Superman LOOKS like a super man, and Super Woman (the evil Wonder Woman) changing from her alter-ego to her villain persona is, well, downright sexy.
Morrison's longtime partner in crime Frank Quitely provides his usual superb art here, so longtime Morrison fans know what to expect here.
