It's a new decade, so let's see who people think are at the top of their game. Limit it to Marvel & DC titles.

Normally I might say Bryan Hitch - but I have to say, Mike Deodato is doing the best work of his career right now, on Dark Avengers.

WickedDynamite
No question...Ivan Reis is doing a tremendous job in BN. thumb up

Trackz
marko djurkovic...can't spell his name right though

Kazenji
Mike Choi

The Nuul
Depends on what comic I am reading.

xJLxKing
The one drawing Blackest Night, or Siege. It's nice and pretty

Bouboumaster
Rob Liefeld

Kazenji
I bet thats a joke....... roll eyes (sarcastic)

Alpha Centauri
I hate everything Liefield has ever done, except his Deadpool. Luckily my favourite character.

Right now? Roberto de la Torre is so underrated that it makes me hurl, McFarlane's/Ottley's work on Haunt is incredible.

I agree with Deodato on Dark Avengers; very robust and strong images.

Stuart Immonen, also another amazing artist. I actually think it's between him and De la Torre.

I like Djurdjevic, I just hate how he makes Thor look like a farm boy. His face looks like he's slightly retarded.

I haven't got Siege yet, but I'm hearing great things about Olivier Coipel's art.

There's no doubt Deodato's been on point with Dark Avengers, and I've always had a sweet spot for McNiven's work.

IMO Ivan Reiss or Jim Lee are the best in the industry, but Coipel, Stuart Immomen, Mark Bagley and Steve Mcniven do gorgeous work yes

Omgu8mynewt
Stuart Immomen or John Cassaday who was in the team that started Astonishing Xmen are my faves right now, although they are both really different styles

willRules
Whedon and Cassidy's run on Astonishing X-men will be looked back on as one of the best X-men stories ever.

Kris Blaze
Frank Quitely.

ExodusCloak
Yep this goes to Quitely.

Well, is he doing something right now? I'm asking who people think is doing outstanding work right at this moment, not who their favourite artist is in general.

I never liked Alex Ross. His stuff is well done but everyone looks like Superman. Including the women.

-Pr-
i'd have to agree in part. alex ross draws some pretty bad women...

Alpha Centauri
Alex Ross is an amazing artist, I just don't think he's good for comics.

Adi Granov does what everyone claims Alex Ross is good at.

-AC i can understand he makes em look a little to realistic sometimes and many people like the art to look cartoony a little. but his artwork has always been impressive to me. i kinda agree with PR on alex how he draws the ladies.

chomperx9
il admit ross makes aquaman look like a valley boy a little without the mustache. flash looks like hes close to 40 there

That's a good point. For me NO ONE draws Catwoman so perfectly as Adam Hughes...he captures the character so perfectly just like Jim Aparo did back in the 80s.

Juk3n
Patrick Zircher.

The Nuul
Like Jim lee draws a so so Hulk and the GL characters but does the best CAP, X-Men, Superman, Batman and others. It all depends on what artist is doing what characters.

hughes just makes her look like audrey hepburn. not that its necessarily a bad thing, but its eerie how much like her she is at times...

Superman in the Monitor World. His fight with Mandrakk.

I actually prefer Doug Mahnke's work on GL #43 yes

I think is done intentionally...most likely his inspiration for Selina comes from the style of Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Kris Blaze
Lame.

Quitely's the man.
