I thought Khari Evans drew the early Harbinger stuff. He's the worst photoshop-filter-on-pictures offender I'm aware of. Also his faces suck.

I fact I did a post in the art thread about how much I hate Khari Evans work, if you can stand some mild out of context spoilers that probably wouldn't make sense to you for a while yet.

I'm not sure that Deodato uses actual poser models but yeah I definitely get that vibe from his new stuff. He used to own.

Anyway, art is a subjective thing ultimately, if you enjoy the art, I'm glad for you because it sucks to read a great book with art you don't like. There's plenty of artists I like that other people don't.

As far as really good artists (or that I enjoy anyway) that have done Valiant I'd say Cary Nord (XO), Paolo Rivera (The Valiant), Juan Jose Ryp (WotEW, Britannia) and Raul Allen (WotEW) have done some of my favorite work for the company. I generally like Crayton Crain but I didn't like his stuff in Rai for whatever reason. Most of the rest range from meh to fine but Evans is the only one who detracts from my enjoyment of the books.

So Lemire's Bloodshot is The Valiant -> Reborn -> U.S.A., right?

Yeah, but the Valiant is a line-wide crossover in case you didn't know.

Lol yeah I've noticed that a lot of Valiant characters have Marvel analogues, though I'd say Bloodshot is more "almost exactly Wolverine" rather than Deadpool.

Dead Drop is actually pretty bad, though the art is excellent.
