Discuss if you like it or not. Me personally love his art especially the ongoing Justice series. I also loved the Marvels stuff and the Kingdom Come thingy...I hope he keeps them coming. I just love the Shazam art with the lightning in Justice 09 and the armors in that same issue...Batman and Hal just look too amazing...
His art is beautiful, sometimes its overly trying to be iconic. And his women all seem to look pretty dykish, Yeah and supposedly he's a right dick. Not on John Bryne levels of dickery, but getting there.

marvels was awesome. i like it. i don't love it. it's a nice change pf pace for me, but it really doesn't get beyond that. i certainly wouldn't want ALL books done in a similar style . . .
He just takes a more "realistic" look towards it. Not every character is ripped to the hilt with muscles in places most of us don't even have places. Its more what an actual person would look like if they threw on a costume and fought for good. With that aside thought, some of his art work is good but the other 90% of it pisses me off. Just me though
Wtf I have always thought all of the art work Ross has done have been awesome, yes at times his characters look freaky but they have that realistic factor to them which gives ross an edge.

The good thing I like about it that his art is unique. I don't know how many comics he has produced I only have Marvels, Kingdom Come, JLA of his, Justice comics his Superman and Batman I really hope he keeps bringing beautiful works some more...
Those four super-sized graphic novels he did years ago for DC, each dedicated to a single character - Superman, Batman, Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman - I picked up two of them over Christmas, given to me as gifts ( it was Supes and Marvel.)
If he were to produce four such volumes for Marvel characters, I would nominate Spider Man, Captain America, Thor & The Silver Surfer. They would suit his style the best.

He's honestly overrated. He can draw men well, but the women look too butch. Gabrielle Del'Otto is much, much more talented than he is. I think he's just the most popular renowned comic artists, so people sometimes give him more credit than he deserves.
I'm not knocking his talent, but he's not that uber.
Great art, but overused. He's like Michael turner. Great, but he's always everywhere.....deliberately trying to piss me off. Always..shh, I hear him now....
