One of the primary appeals for me in VS is cool card art. I love me some good art, I hate me some bad art. And yes, I’m fully aware that “good” and “bad” are subjective terms when it comes to art.
For example, I’m not a fan of a lot of Arthur Suydam’s art. It tickles some folk’s fancy, and it’s definitely a good pick for all the Marvel Zombies stuff, but by and large it’s not my cup of tea.
Thus, for this Thursday Thirteen, I present in no particular order thirteen reasons why Jonboy Meyers is one of my favourite artists producing cards for the VS System trading card game.
Why Jonboy? I’m a Marvel fanboy through and through. By and large I couldn’t care less about most DC characters… or at least, I used to think like that, until I discovered Jonboy’s Manhunter art in the DGL expansion. The art alone made me want to play them as a team, and also inspired me to find out who the smeg they were.
In all cases, larger (and clearer) images can be found at Jonboy’s own site and blog.
