    Default Who is your Favorite Comics Artist for Action Scenes?

    I like Daniel Warren Johnson's action scenes. I think he does a good job at conveying motion in still images:

    That's a great call.

    Bruno Redondo is quickly making a name for himself at exactly this. At least once per issue, he meticulously shows how dynamic the hero's fights are.

    He's exceptional at doing this with Nightwing in particular.

    All worthy candidates, as is Frank Quitely. His first few Batman and Robin stories were amazing.

    I really like Dan Mora's art on Dark Detective & Detective Comics.

    I don't know if he's actually the right answer for action/fights, but I think Jorge Jimenez is one of the most dynamic artists DC has had in ages.

    I really like how fluid and expressive Sumit Kumar's art style was in Future State: Outsiders. I would say he's someone I would love to see more action scenes from.

    Nikolas Draper-Ivey is making a big case for most impressive new talent for me, especially his action. His work on Static has been super stylish, very fluid and dynamic, has a dope cinematic feel; I can see him making some AMAZING stuff for DC if he sticks around.


    Bruno Redondo is another one who's action really impressed me. not as hyper-stylized as NDI but he's another one who does really dynamic cinematic action scenes. His Suicide Squad, especially his scenes with Jog, super impressed me. I would love to see him get a Flash or Jog/Black Racer or Impala book, something with a speedster.

    these are just the ones that first spring to mind. I feel like a lot of comic artist's action feel like snapshots, like they're too static and pose-y.
    THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki

    also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.

    currently following:
    • DC: Red Hood: The Hill
    • Marvel: TBD
    • Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force

    Oh yeah



    Honestly once you mention Jimenez I'm having trouble thinking anyone else



    That said he's not exactly my favorite because his action scenes can stretch the anatomy into the extreme, and I don't like that, I prefer a more realistic but dynamic look.

    I just don't know who right now. Brain empty only Jimenez.

    I’m reading Far Sector for the first time and Jamal Campbell is pretty damn good.
