Sure he may trace his drawings, but you have to admit. Greg Land can capture some of the X-men in the sexiest ways you have ever seen them. The X-men have never looked hotter. (Granted sometimes his characters look the same with a different color swaps, but that can be said about other artists as well.)

Agree? Disagree? Too much sex appeal to do justice? Maybe other artists bring the x-men better than he does?

I dislike her portrayal of emma.She's always smiling like a porn-star. That's out of character.

I no like, Land. There's little variety in his characters.

They look "sexy" because he traces pornstars.

To be honest I'm 50/50 with Land, he's certainly not the worst but sometimes he's drawings don't fit. Like the cover to one of those Uncanny X-men comics where in Tabula Rasa "The Immortal" was standing over the X-men lying in the ground defeated I can't remember exactly who (Psylocke or Storm) but the face was not that of defeat but that of enjoyment.

@moywar700: lol good one

hit and miss..

Awwwh-- I actually thought Emma, Storm and Jean where 3 of the ladies he does well. I kinda figured if Emma sarcastically smiled, she might look like that. But you are so right-- He does draw some the x-men like porn-stars. Conversational as this may sound, but I don't mind that at all. B)

Some of the women look the same sometimes,I do however love how he draw Storm

Agreed, sometimes I can't tell his Magik, Emma, and Dazzler apart without looking at the costumes. But Storm and Jean look stunning. :)

@Katie24: LMAO at the Stupid Grin!! XD

I know exactly what you are talking about, I actually like the 'stupid grin' face in some scenes. But you are right it can be overused sometimes.

@White Mage: LOL, White Mage!! Hush now-- LOL Now you are making me have second thoughts about this picture of Pixie. (It's a cute cover even tho this doesn't look like Pixie's face. To be fair A LOT of artist depict Pixie differently ) Not going to lie tho-- I remember when this comic was in shops, I bought it because the cover drew me in.

@danhimself: He did do Birds of Prey-- Didn't he!? Nice. I totally forgot about that.

@SC: Endsong might have been his best work. Although-- that is the book where I didn't like the way he did Emma. I feel later he started drawing her a bit differently.

Also some of his uncanny x-men cover work catches my attention a lot of the time when I go to the comic shop.

Tracing makes them all look the same. Emma, Jean, Psylocke, Kitty, Storm and Pixie all have the same face, the same body type, and the same hairstyle. Even their empty grins and standard porn star poses look identical. They look like clones of each other who just happen to have different hair and skin colours. If these pictures were black and white and you could only see their faces, you couldn't even tell which is which.

I don't find any of these pictures - or Land's "art" in general - sexy because all of his women look hollow, plastic, lifeless, and devoid of any traces of individual personality. In my opinion, they look as hot as blow-up dolls - they might have ideal body proportions (for porn stars), but the total absence of character just makes them look creepy as hell.

Every time I read a Land's comic I see a blonde porn star that can turn herself into diamond... I think she's called Emma Frost

So yeah, this pretty much shows how Land's art is out of place at times. Makes it look as if Psylocke is loving that grass.

IMO, he's a no talent hack that shouldn't be allowed to work in the industry. His "art" looks nice at first, but after a while, EVERYTHING he draws look the same. The faces, the poses, and the background. He has a habit of drawing really big closeup shots, and there barely has any background. His women look very plastic and generic. I don't find them to be attractive at all. I really dislike the inconsistency in his drawing. One character sometimes has 10 different looks with just one expression (The stupid grin).

This.

Didn't she used to work in a strip club?

I actually agree.

His work on Endsong and Uncanny's Tabula Rasa was good, but everything outside of that ? Downright horrible.

So facking glad he's off the X-Books to infinite and beyond.

What an atrocity.

Facking horrible, mate.

And his women aren't even that sexy (except for his Storm, truthfully speaking, she's almost always on point), most of them look like they just escaped some Anorexia Nervosa *cough cough!* She-Hulk *cough cough!*.

HAHHAAAA!! This is actually True!

(Why did you have to go there Hareil!!) lol I totally forgot about that!

@PhoenixoftheTides: Actually I think that's Dazzler standing behind Emma and Karma.

.....lol...

(There is a valid point here on how everyone looks the same.)

I think picture looks strong. And a lot of his panels I could see someone hanging up as a picture or poster. I guess his pictures stand consistently stand out whether they are good or bad-- and always seem to have a sexual energy about them.

@JohnnyGat: Maybe Storm and Psylocke got knocked out-- and hit the floor sexually... and Psylocke is secretly into S&M and she liked it. lol jk. But I get what you mean here. This reminds me of the heroes for hire cover that got censored because it looked to sexual. lol (Fun Fact: I am reading that issue of Tabula Rasa? right now! It was literally the last comic I touched.)

Not only is he awful, tacky, and a tracer who seems to have some less than amiable attitudes towards women, but none of those drawings are sexy. Most of them are awkward, either because they feel forced and stiff, or because they fall into an uncanny valley of sorts. Sexy is a state of mind, not a state of mindlessness.

I'll admit, she looks cute...........but These mouths literally stretch from ear to ear, minus cheek restrictions

LMAO!!-- Thanks a lot White Mage-- Now every time I see Land's Pixe I am going to think:

'Dat Big Ole' Symle!' XD

(And you know I am saying it in a silly chicken head voice too.)

I am going to start taking pictures with smiles like this now. =D

@PhoenixoftheTides said:

@poisonfleur: Yeah, I had actually looked closely at the picture and saw that it was Dazzler, but must have had Magik on my mind when I was typing the final message.

I feel you on that.

My only real issues with him:

are his blondes (Emma, Dazzler, Magik, etc) look the same to the point where it degrades his work, imo.

Also I don't like the fact that he doesn't make Psylocke look Asian in a lot of his work.

Hell and No.

He traces whores.

@unicornpuncher: Yeah, It's a little disappointing that he traces but he does have a unique look to his work either way.
