I too love George Perez and by some extension, have enjoyed Phil's work. However, I never really like and JB/GP crossovers. Just not convinced their styles work well together, for me.

I thought their styles meshed beautifully in ACTION COMICS #600. Taste is taste, of course.

Phil Jiminez is a great penciller but the inker he usually works with (Andy Lanning? I can't remember) isn't a good fit for him, in my opinion.

                                                                                                                          My attempt-in-progress at coloring this page in retro style. Nothing flashy, I am old school, bright/fun colors are all you need.The inker is Scott Barnett. Still some work to do here, but I must say this is quite fun!

…coloring this page in retro style…

••

Even "retro style" would have a greater range of tones in the backgrounds.

I'm still fooling around with the backgrounds JB.Were you speaking if the sky in particular? I'm thinking of lightening up the background so the characters are more the focal point.

In a deep, dark, dense jungle, I don't think "lighter" would be the way to go.

I suppose not, I've been back and forth several times. I could always make this a dusk/night time scene. Was there mention of the time of day this might take place?

Sunlight streaking down thru the canopy...?

I'm seeing here an all too common concentration on HOW you are coloring, over WHAT you are coloring.

Indeed he does. Digital coloring is very forgiving, I'll be changing that. Thanks JB for your input. Much appreciated!

Rob, you might consider adding Nightcrawler's plunging back neckline since it is black and can be added with you colours very easily.
