I don't know. It looks like the artist is trying really hard to be like Yoji Shinkawa but without the line confidence. That blurry grainy effect I'd expect more from a Silent Hill comic.

I don't know where I stand on the art. The first two pages really didn't impress me, but te style on the third page was pretty good. I prefer a more classic comic style with the organized panels and what not. I really like Shinkawa's art in the Metal Gear instruction booklets, but I don't think I can read a comic book from a person who uses a similar style.

The artist for this is Ashley Wood, from Lore. He´s got he has always drawn like that. He´s actually known between comic fans, specially for his covers (he used to do Spawn covers a good time ago).
He was chosen because his style matches MGS, not the other way around.

Also, he has worked with Konami before on the Contra game for the PS2.
I like his style, specially con covers, but I'm not sure yet about interior pages. Guess I'll have to see more pages.

Instead of varient covers will the comic feature varient endings in order to cover both scenerios in MGS?
Oh, and I like the art.

Wow, that's even worse then. Whoever thought his style matched MGS must have been on crack at the time.

A lot of the scenes are lifted out of the GC MGS game. And I'm still iffy on the art style (why does Big Boss look like Fidel Castro with an eyepatch?).
It'll be interesting to see how this turns out.
