John Byrne(he wasnt the best artist, but his work with Claremont on X-Men deserves acknowledgment)
For ones I like that haven't been mentioned yet...
Jae Lee - Inhumans volume 2, the maxi-series is a great showcase for his work, awesome stuff.
Joe Bennett - The Crew, and started on Captain America and the Falcon on issue 5. He does a gorgeous Scarlet Witch
Salvadore Laroca - Current X-Men duty.
Joe Maduiera - Uncanny X-Men artist around the Onslaught era, his own series Battle Chasers and other misc stuff.
Pat Quinn - artist on latest Captain Marvel series, interesting style
C.P. Smith - New Invaders, some of it looks weird, which is mostly due to the weird colors they use, but he has a definate and interesting style, IMO
Pat Lee - Dreamwave artist, will be doing the upcoming FF and X-Men series
Clayton Henry - current Alpha Flight series, a small cartoonish quality (he is not the artist to the issue 7 cover, which his HELLA cartoony) but he is consistent as hell. Never any variance and it's a nice style.
I like David Finch, but he needs to work on his FACES. Everyone looks exactly the same, with the same dour, curiously pensive expression.
Jae Lee example....

Of course! He rocks. Maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention, but I haven't seen his name attached to anything in awhile, I wish he'd get busy again, he does great stuff.
I'm starting to like Micheal Turner alot now he has done a good job on Batman Superman and also on Soul fire but noone can compare to Alex Ross i mean the man hand paints his comics and not to mention the characters look like real people http://alexrossart.com/archives.html
Geroge Perez. I wouldnt say he is the best (one of the best) comic artist out there but hes deffinatley my fave. When u see his work, u know who it is
I think Jim Lee is probably one of the best artists around just now. He got me collecting Batman comics when i didnt even like Batman lol. I also love Alex Ross, man hes good.
Jack King Kirby. Although judged by today's standards, he seems to pale in comparison, he got the ball rolling for good, quality and consistent art in comics.
George Perez is okay, something about his to me is just kind of bleh. It seems a little bland, and it almost makes me dizzy looking at it sometimes. I couldn't read the JLA/Avengers crossover simply because he drew it and I couldn't look at his art long enough to get through it. That's why I didn't read a good majority of the Avengers reboot after Hereos Return. Busiek made great stories, and I understand Perez is talented, but I couldn't stand to look at the art. So I didn't pick the title up until much later when Geoff Johns and another artist took over.
