BM in Love Bleed Green? Comic CD Bloopers In-Jokes Here are a few basic, common sense things the producers of the Biker Mice comic should have done that would have improved the quality (and probably the sales) of the book. Stay faithful to the feel of the animated series.         It's common sense that when you're trying to sell something related to an animated series, you need to appeal to your pre-existing fans first, as they're the ones most likely to pay for such merchandise. Chances a Biker Mice fan would pick up the comic book? At least 95%. Chances Joe Blow is gonna pick it up? 50%. So worry about what the fans will want to see, not an anonymous comic book reader. What many fans of the series liked were the characters themselves, along with the humor and action. So don't change a damn thing! Go for original stories, told with the characters the fans loved. And that goes for the art as well. Batman: Gotham Knights, a comic series of original stories based on the Batman animated series, is well-loved by fans of the cartoon because it looks and feels like the original. So go with it! Find an artist better suited to Biker Mice.         It's not that Rurik Tyler is a bad artist; he's just not the right one for this series. For Biker Mice, you need someone who has experience with anthropomorphic characters, machinery, and cityscapes. I won't dispute Tyler on the second, and maybe not on the third, but he's not particularly good with animal people. Plus, his work is uneven, too forceful in places, and out of sync with the look of the series. What's needed is an artist who can handle all of the above things while throwing in an animated look on top of it, and do it well. Regarding that, I have a few suggestions for both the art and the writing… Get a better color scheme, or go black and white.         Like I said, the most off-putting thing about the art is the coloring job. It's poorly done, and the scheme doesn't go at all with the feel of the series. I'm not advocating computer coloring here (although it would be an option today) because computer coloring can look awful, too. Hand-coloring is great if it's done well. So the thing to do would be to decide on a color scheme (one heavy on blacks, blues, and similar hues) and stick with it. That, or go black and white. I know there are those in the world of comics who fear black and white comics, or deem them inferior to color. Bullshit. Black and white, in the right hands, can be just as gorgeous, and sometimes moreso. It takes more talent to use black, white, and gray to add depth to a work than it does to use color.
