[...] 1. Great creators: Really, when Warren Ellis comes to your company and decides to invent a new way to publish comics, you let him. No one thinks about comics format more than Mr. Ellis. And when Matt Fraction pops in and says “Hey, that looks awesome. Can I do one?” you let him bloody do one. With Fell and Casanova, they’re giving us two of the best comics being published. And when paired with fantastic artists like Ben Templesmith and Gabriel BÃ¡ and Fabio Moon, the result could be nothing but good comics. And that’s not all! Coming next year, Corey Lewis of snazzy books like Peng and Sharknife will be bringing us Pinapl, which sounds cool. More on that in this CBR interview. [...]

Alejandro, Hatter M was a four issue mini, published by Desperado. And, while I certainly agree that Templesmith has/had a strong Ashley Wood vibe, his figures are much rounder, and the way he renders fingers and teeth are uniquely his. (Did I use that right, Evan?)

Ashley Wood’s art looks a lot like Bill Seinkeiwicz’s, but I can’t see much resemblance between Templesmith and either of them.

All three are good though so life is sweet

Nitpick- there is no such thing as “most unique.” Unique is an either/or thing- you’re either one of a kind or you’re not. There are no degrees.

I get the Ashley wood comparisons but Templesmith’s stuff is a lot tighter so I like it much more than Wood’s.

I really do like Ben Templesmith, although I wouldn’t have called him one of the most unique artists – when I first saw his work I thought it looked like Ashely Wood’s work, who when I first saw his work thought it looked like Bill Sienkivch (or however you spell it).

Ben Templesmith is excellent.

I need to read Hatter M, though. Was it a miniseries? Ongoing?

I was glad to find out about Fell, as it’s a title that actually seems worthy of Templesmith’s art.

Ben’s art is great. A breath of fresh air. Kinda reminds me of Ashley Wood too. And Ben’s one of the few (probably only!) artists who lives in my hometwon of Perth, Western Australia. He even goes to the same LCS as me, so he must be good!

I read one issue of Hatter M, and I didn’t care much for the art, but that is one terrific Doctor/Tardis picture. I might have to give him another shot.
