Is it live, or …?

Les has a post demonstrating how cool computer game graphics have gotten … scary-good. Four pictures. Spot the ones that are generated with the new Crysis graphics engine and which are real.
I got them right — but only because the real photos were there to compare. Otherwise, I’d have been fooled after a cursory look.
CoX isn’t at that level, of course, nor should it be (a bit of cartoonyness is appropriate for comic books). But some day …
Hmmm. That raises a cool idea — wouldn’t it be neat to be able to choose an artistic style for your CoX install? CoX as drawn by Jack Kirby, or John Byrne, or Gil Kane, or Jim Sterenko, or Michael Golden, or Mike Mignola, or Arthur Adams, or Jim Lee, or Frank Miller, or … wow. That would be really cool. Tailor it to each toon, too — suddenly each alt is a different immersive experience, not just a different set of powers.
I would pay money for that.
