..or has Matt Herms' coloring quality gone down lately? Newer issues, those which were colored by him appear mostly only with mainly primary colors and simple shades. Not like what he used to do. I'm talking about the way he did things really well around about StH #215 and up. Things started to get simplistic around about SU #79 and up.

Do you think he is slacking off or is Sega/Archie are looking for a new colouring style lately? Back then originally (awesome colouring):

..round about now....



Barely anything except primary colors now. Am I being too harsh? Does Matt Herms have too much on his time?

I am starting to see Gabriel Cassata greatly supplementing him in the main Archie Series. Now all I see him is at the Sonic Universe coloring section. I like Cassata's coloring when she is working around Jen Hen. Those two go together like PB and J as much as Herms does with Yardley! but I dont really like the outcome when Cassata is coloring someone elses whom is not Yardley or Jen's.

I almost got cancer when reading #280 from the combination of colouring and line/ink work.

Like wtf? did someone just 'ink' the lines with like a black color pencil instead digitally? And the colours, also in primarily colours and barely any complicated shades. As if MS paint and the paint bucket tool was used on that.

Has Archie Comic's quality gone down the drain lately? R.I.P Archie Sonic?

What do you guys think?
