    For my personal tastes I think Zircher is the best.

    Just a sidenote, I voted based on whos doing at least semi-regular pencils on the interiors of a book currently. Rocafort's style is probably my favorite, but I didn't vote for him based on that fact.

    I'm surprised to see Rockfort here, did he do variant covers or something

    Yeah Rocafort's done some covers.

    I agree its hard to answer though. There's something about the details in Zircher's facial features that put him over the top for me. But him along with Jimenez and Herbert have been revelations to me in regards to drawing a great Superman.

    Gleason I like, but sometimes he gets a bit too cartoon-y for my taste. And I've always liked Mahnke but I just like the above styles a bit more.

    I was torn between Jorge Jimenez and Clay Mann, but Mann have being doinf more variant covers, while Jimenez have pretty much put every issue he penciled in a higher leve, the last Super Sons for example, the art was good, but I really missed him.

    Jeez, he draws rebirth Superman so differently from new 52 Superman my mind flat out didn't put 2 and 2 together.

    Yeah he draws Rebirth Superman with closer cropped hair while his New 52 Superman was a bit more mussed, and with a longer and squarer jaw. To me makes him look older thus its what I theorize is the point. The New 52 facial features are better, but its still Rocafort so its still good.

    The Super books are blessed with so many talented artists. There is not one that I don't like.

    My favorite has got to be Jimenez. His work on Super Sons has been exceptional. His variant covers kick butt, too.

    I agree there, if all artists knew how to draw N52 Superman and his suit as well as Rocafort, I have been much more sad to see it leave. His rebirth Superman is ok, but his style suits Nupes more. I think he's one of those artists that thrive on more complicated designs. Also interesting to look at just how different he drew them facially.

    I love all the artists on Superman and Action. However, Jorge Jimenez on Super Sons (and Superman variants) gets my vote for favorite artist.
