For Best, I always love me some Mike Allred

Jae Lee does some beautiful work as well

For Awful, I've got t go with Larry Stroman, keep in mind that this is supposed to be a the X-Men character Bishop as a baby and not a thalidomide child or something like that.

The only two that I can think of, aside from Logan, that they had access to were Deadpool and Sabertooth. Deadpool was considered a failure but why they didn't try with Sabertooth is a bit of a mystery. Maybe they just couldn't locate him at the time?All the others that have popped up since then they probably don't know about or can't get to.

They actually did this in Ultimate X-Men, Sabretooth got the same treatment (except he had four claws). He also claimed to be Wolverine's son. Both of these were quickly forgotten and ignored by every subsequent writer.

I never really understood the love that some people give Art Adams, his women are consistently horrible to the point of looking disfigured.

Why do people not like Juan Jose Ryp? I love him he's one of my favorites His work on Wolverine the Best there is was great. It was really toned down somewhat and looked great, at least i thought.

He's definitely not a bad artist I think sometimes his art is just so detailed that it can become confusing.

DC is cancelling his Hawk and Dove...and giving him three of the other 52 titles.

Including Grifter. I was enjoying Grifter too (read the first two issues, now I'm trade waiting for it) - I'm sure Liefeld is a nice guy,and unless I'm reading it wrong, he's not actually doing the art, but him getting his creative sticky fingers on a good title, in 2012, is depressing.

This is his take on Deadpool (well, the Deadpool Corps). Bear in mind, he was the one who created the character....

I hate how his Deadpools always seem to have a black hole in the center of their face sucking the mask inward.

Nightwing's leg in that rooftop picture looks weird to me, it seems too long and kinda bent wrong.

If we're to disregard the real reasons they are given muscles, Superman's alien physiology easily handwaves away a lot of things, like how the lenses of his eyes can focus unimaginably far while never being any bigger than an average human's. Maybe he doesn't need to work as hard at building muscles as we do or his body works like a regular human's up to a certain point past which Kryptonian super blood takes over and provides the rest of his strength or abilities.

Spider-Man isn't necessarily all that big. There are so many variations from artists that there's no one true look to Spider-Man, either in size or definition. But the spider bite didn't just grant him magic powers; it changed his body. The same way a lanky boy's body is suddenly much more receptive to muscle building through puberty could be the same process going on after the bite. Puberty 2.0 essentially. You could also wonder why a spider bite would correct his vision.

Spider-man usually is said to vaguely have some improved healing, not as extreme as wolverine but more like healing from broken bones and bruises over a few days instead of weeks. I suppose that could justify greater ease in building muscle as well as his vision self-correcting.

Ugh Cable's robot arm looks pretty stupid there. Also, wasn't he dead? (Stupid question, I know.)

If you look, under the robot arm is a normal one. He's got a withered little baby arm now where his old robot arm used to be and this looks like it's some kind of prosthetic over the top.

Yeah, there's enough Adi Granov art for him to trace that he should be able to illustrate most stories.

He just traces the movie armor now. I'm certain the rationalizing for giving Tony a bulkier suit than the liquid armor one in the new book was entirely written in to accomodate Land's tracing.

Jesus H. Who's the artist for Elektra? Whatever they're paying him, it's not enough.

Say what you will about Marvel, but I can't remember the last time there's been this many interesting, unique art styles on their books at once. DC's house style looks so boring in comparison to stuff like Ghost Rider, Elektra, Silver Surfer, Moon knight, etc.

Personally I have much more hate for Land. Not even for the fact that he lightboxes photos, but that he blatantly traces the work of other artists and passes it off as his own which is just morally reprehensible.

Like Hakkesshu said, Liefeld got too famous too early in his career and just coasted on his popularity instead of working to improve himself. If he had committed himself it's very likely we'd view him much differently today.

I don't think special effects have caught up to Kirby yet.

edit: who was doing the colouring for his stuff. It's.....trippy.

I'm still waiting for a superhero movie to attempt an FX version of Kirby Crackle. We didn't get it with Sunspot or Ultron, I'm hoping they'll do it with the inevitable Darkseid appearance in Justice League.

If I remember correctly Hawkeye was defending trying to kill Dark Avengers-era Norman Osborn by saying "wouldn't you have killed Hitler if you had the chance?"
