To me, Jim Lee is the most gifted artist ever.

Grew up reading X-men comics and WildCats, and such.

He really impacted my life

He has a myspace page, so tell him, "Hi"

I thought his best work was when he penciled 'X-Men' in 1993.

I didn't like when he switched to a flatter bold-ink style with DEATHBLOW for Image.

Still a badass chinaman!

he's good, but Joe Madureira basically revolutionized, or "evolutionized" Marvel Comics and comics in general. What he did with Uncanny X-men was Gold, and Battle Chasers would have been a beast had he been on time. He just did graphic novel , Ultimates 3.

Im a huge fan, he was my favorite outside of Todd McFarlane.. I have alot of the Extinction Agenda issues and all the X-Men issues he did before he bolted to make Wildcats (which I have too)

I disagree with you there. Joe Madureira is great but he isnt as great as Jim Lee!!

I mean, Jim Lee's anatomy for his drawings are precise...he makes the women look gorgeous. H makes the women look like women and mnen look like men

EwaBeachBoy · « **Reply #12 on:** March 23, 2009, 02:05:29 PM »

And plus Joe Madureira's style is a little too cartoony fo rme...

I prefer Jim Lee!

Below is Joe's style compared to Jim Lee...

Whose style do you getbigger's prefer?

I prefer Jim's

Actually, joe Mad has toned down the Anime inspired drawings, take a look at Ultimates 3. I respect both, but Joe Mad's style was so (fresh, and so clean) that that was the reason why he had a lot of fanfare, due to the Anime influence, nobody had incorporated that before, and Humberto Ramos has a similar style. And Joe Campbell was good to with Dangergirl.

Jim Lee's work on Transformers and GI Joe was good as well.

Yes, I say those 2 are my favorites but Jim Lee is my top!

I also liked Marc Silvestri whose style is almost like Jim Lee's. I was also a big fan of Whilce Portacio, Brett Boothm Michael Turner, Travis Charest....

But the thing though is Jim Lee's work had a life of is own. It didnt look like it just stood motionless on paper or empty.

I cant say Jim Lee is God because he isnt because there is only one and that Jesus Christ...but he is comic book and artistic perfection!

I loved his work on Deathblow, and on the X-men..but I don't think he handles singular characters very well. They all look like the same guy with different costumes.

I can understand what you mean about Joe's style but he isnt the first...

Well Todd McFarlane's and Whilce Portacio's style were considered anime believe it or not...and this was in the 80s through the 90s....

Whilce's style I have to say is close to the anime you see in cartoons...

Thats what they say about a lot of artist characters looking the same...

I understand what you mean though...

i agree, I would like to see either Jim Lee tackle Deadpool or Joe Mad re-enter the Marvel fold and take on Deadpool. That character needs more injection of talent. And more development.

Marc Silvestri is awesome too!

joe's style is more the He-man (from the 80's) meets Dragonball Z, with the wild hair and all, but with the crazy detail and epic bodybuilder Proportions (think Killer Instinct video game)

What do you think of "The First" and that artist? And how about the Witchblade cartoon ? I think they made her sexualized too much, that ain't what the witchblade is about.

EwaBeachBoy · « **Reply #23 on:** March 23, 2009, 02:41:53 PM »

Wich Witchblade cartoon..the anime or the regular?

I didnt like the anime at all...I thought it sucked.... I havent watched the american Withblade cartoon....

What is the First?

Do you like JOE BENITEZ style?

EwaBeachBoy · « **Reply #24 on:** March 23, 2009, 02:51:58 PM »

The late Michael Turner was awesome too:
