    Default Best/Worst Single Artist On Your Favorite Characters

    Similar to my previous thread only this time for artists, if you had to pick both the best and worst individual artist on your favorite characters who would they be?

    As before, to start with an example.

    Wonder Woman
    Best: Phil Jimenez
    Worst: Frank Miller

    Hmm..okay if I had to choose (and please I know some of these artist might be your favorite but opinions can differ):

    Batman
    Best: Jim Lee
    Reason: Iconic style, art has great momentum, and shows the idealized hero
    Worst: Kelley Jones
    Reason: Very weird proportions, too creepy for my taste, and is not aesthetically pleasing

    Superman
    Best: Ed Mcguiness
    Reason: Cartoony style fits the optimistic nature of Clark
    Worst: Lee Bermejo
    Reason: Superman shouldn't look scary and off putting

    Green Lantern
    Best: Darwyn Cooke
    Reason: Perfect for a silver age hero, really captures the space race age
    Worst: Ethan Van Sciver
    Reason: I love some of his work, but for whatever reason I always feel like he draws heads a bit too big and long and everything looks a bit too squished (even during his tenure in New X-Men)

    Wonder Woman
    Best: Cliff Chiang
    Reason: Made a strong woman look like a strong woman, plus his designs for the Greek pantheon are amazing
    Worst: Frank Miller
    Reason: Too scratchy and very off putting

    Flash
    Best: Francis Manapul
    Reason: Look his warm style that really fits Barry's warm personality and makes the book feel like a fairy tale
    Worst: Brett Booth
    Reason: Why is everyone so glossy and why do teenagers have bodies of 30 year olds

    Wonder Woman
    Best: George Perez
    Best: Phil Jimenez
    Honourable Mention: Jill Thompson when inked by Tanghal
    Worst: Nathan Massengill from WW#84 this was a serious stylistic choice and everyone was rendered with very harsh lines
