Just to go alongside the writer thread currently on. Who’s the best artist? I think we really have a great selection at the moment.

Hahaha! I was literally about to make this thread!
My absolute favorite artist is definitely Alex Ross, there's a reason why his paintings go for over 10k and his booth is the biggest artist booth at San Diego Comic Con. He is what inspired me into being a comic book artist.
Like who's the new hotness?
Cause a case could be made for Dautermann.
Like not only is he an excellent artist, but he is an excellent storyteller and willing to draw less in order to say more (see Thor v Phoenix sequence). He has a mastery of thin lines that rivals Quitely. He can render ethnicities in a way many cannot. He knows fashion and evidently loves the women he draws. He's clearly a comics artist in the ways McKelvie kind of isn't, but still his pencils feel fresh and contemporary.
