Just occurred to me, has anyone here' really loved a story, but hated the artwork, or vice versa. Then maybe elaborate' would they purchase just for artwork or story?

Using Fornes in the same issue as Janin is a horrible waste of Fornes. So Fornes has been wasted filling in in both the Tyrant Wing and The Fall and the Fallen.
It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?
Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.

There've been a few powerful Legion stories that I feel could have been even stronger with a better artist, such as the death of Sarya / the Emerald Empress.
Cry for Justice had some fantastic art, covers and interiors by Mauro Cascioli
Story was garbage.

I loved Meyers' art style in the initial Teen Titans: Rebirth run.
Unfortunately the run, itself ended up being very "meh". Which, I guess worked out since Myers left and was replaced with an artist who is also very "meh"
Heroes in Crisis seems to be the poster child for great art/bad story nowadays.

Yeah... Identity Crisis would be one. Art was great.
JLI, the Breakdowns issues.
Wozniak wasn't the best choice, IMO, for the event that would cap off the JLI's five year run.
At least they had Maguire come back for the last issue.

Same. For me, Cry for justice is the perfect example of a story with perfect art, wasted by a garbage story. Until now, with maybe Civil War 2, Cry for justice is the worst event that I Have read despite superb artworks (and I wait for the last issue, but HIC seem to fit in this category)
I try to improve my english, feel free to correct me by DM if you see some mistakes !
Loved the writing on Morrison's JLA. Porter's art took me out of the story though. I've grown to like his work a lot more than I did then and I like him pretty well on Flash lately. Just never felt like a good fit to me on JLA.
I just started reading No Justice and having trouble because I don't care as much for Manupul's art.
Oh, almost forgot this:
Millennium
Love Joe Staton on Huntress. Love him on Green Lantern Corps. Love him on Femme Noir.
But I think Millennium was a poor match.

In a recent example, G Willow Wilson's opening arc "The Just War" for Wonder Woman. Cary Nord's art felt unfinished, often it looked like he spent the least time on Wonder Woman amongst all the characters, and he managed to put exactly the opposite emotional beats on Diana that the story called for.

The second arc, "Giants War", he did arts duty for was improved, but the problems with how Diana was drawn persisted.
