Frank Quitely's art, frankly, disgusts me. All of his characters are absolutely hideous to behold, from their puffed up lips to oversized chins and tiny eyes and blotched noses. Ugh. Makes me want to throw up every time I see something from The Authority or All-Star Superman or JLA: Earth 2. Just, blech. Terrible artist.

co-signed, though not quite as vehemently.

I actually don't mind his art also i've seen alot worst.
Yeah, me too. I enjoyed his work on Preacher and as a result didn't really warm to 'Ancient History' because they changed the artist to Ezquerra. Don't get me wrong on that I like Ezquerra's work but with Preacher it just disrupted the continuity for me.
I've also read a Punisher vs Bullseye comic he did the artwork for and that turned out fine. The main concern I have with his work is that his facial structures all kind of look the same so 3 or 4 different characters in a scene (barring minor differences) kind of look the same.

I like it in ASSuperman. Gives a sort of PreCrisis feel to the stories.
Can't stand it in Authority though.

Liefeld is far from the worst artist in the comic book industry.
Not saying he's good though...
There was this guy who did art for a few issue of JLA I don't remember his name (I'll check when I get home) but for some reason he thought that humanbeings have bulbous 'Squidward' type heads and that noses were sufficiently vestigial that they didn't need to be drawn. It also seemed that he took personal offense to straight lines.
I find a lot of the art in the various 30 Days Of Night series to be amatuer-looking, despite being painted.
Not much point in picking on old artists - printing & various techniques have improved through the decades. Still, I was never a fan of Steve Ditko.
Frank Miller was mentioned earlier. I use to love his work, especially when Klaus Janson inked over him. But he's incapable of drawing anything but a Sin City-type comic these days, and even some of them his style is getting tired.

I was wrong about the noses. He's not good at noses though:
Personally I wonder if he's ever met a real human being.
Liefield is worst, hands-down, just for reputation as well as being unable to draw any decent proportion.
I don't like Steve Dillon's either, it completely put me off Wolverine Origins, and I'm getting tired of Frank Miller's Sin-City style art which is all he's capable of drawing these days. His old art was very good.
And I have to be in the right mood for Tim Sale's work (although in small doses it's fantastic).
