I've already spoken of my dislike of Humberto Ramos's god awful art, but I find his art straight up bad. In my opinion the most overrated artist is David Finch. His art isn't bad, per se, it's just not that great to me. Alot of people actually like his art, but to me it's just really... dirty. He's honestly like the opposite of Humberto Ramos, style wise, but has similar problems. His art is very grainy, and everyone looks overly muscular. Nobody looks like a normal human being in his art.

Though, his Wonder Woman art is frickin' awesome.

@spinnercomix: I hated Finch's Wonder Woman, but I didn't mind his run on X-Men Second Coming.....

I hate saying anyone's art is overrated. There's good art I like, and there's good art that is just not for me.

I'll take Fiona Staples's art over Jim Lee's stuff any day, and some people would look at me like a crazy person......

Surprised to see all the people saying Jim Lee. Personally, I really like his art and he is probably my favorite comic book artist, but I can see how he might be a little overrated. He does need to work on facial features a bit more; his characters often look like they all have the same face. It's not that big a deal to me, though, as it just forces me to use my imagination a bit more and think about what unique facial traits I feel each character would have.

Personally, I also feel that Greg Capullo is a little bit overrated sometimes, particularly with regard to his New 52 Batman run. I do think he is an excellent artist, though.

David Finch, sure I agree. Humberto Ramos on the other hand, I love the guy! My "top of my head" 3 overrated are Greg Land, Rob Liefeld and Jim Lee.

Greg Land ( he reused SO many poses and photoshops porn faces, women with no hips etc.)

Jim Lee. He's good but his style is dated imo.

David Finch. Very 90's style, reminiscent of old Silvestri.

@farkam: I would say Romita Jr is pretty overrated, Liefeld on the other hand is just a whipping boy at this point but his artwork has gotten better but everyone just harps on his older stuff, but still im not a fan of his artwork. Liefeld is in no way overrated that i would agree with, if anything he is underrated.

Guiseppe Camuncoli, I dont know if he is overrated or not but he definitely could work on making his regular peoples faces look different, they all look alike just with different hair. His costumed characters in tights all look like they are wearing Depends and in Spider-Man's case his head seems to be a little too small for the rest of his body at times.

Greg Capullo im not a fan of, I hate how his Batman looks It could largely very well be because I don't like the batsuit he had to draw. He is another artist I don't like how he draws peoples faces, also like Romita Jr. but to a lesser extent Capullo has blocky artwork as well and also reminds me of Miller's Batman at the same time which isn't a plus for me.

With that said regardless of how much people say they love his more celebrated work be it writing or artwork, Frank Miller's stuff is just awful to me with no redeeming qualities. The only thing id be willing to pay for he has done Is All Star Batman & Robin just so I could read it outloud with Christain Bale's stupid Bat voice at the applicable parts. Also there is Jim Lee's awesome artwork so its not a total waste.

A lot of the names that people are mentioning are too hated to be considered overrated.

Anyway, I say Fiona Stables.

She is not bad, just overrated. I don't think she is as great as soon many people say she is. I basically agree with what @devitciiu said earlier.

Fiona Staples is good but the fact that she's won the Harvey award for best artist the last 4 years in a row is ridiculous.

Speaking of same face syndrome, I'm adding Rocafort to the list

Jim Lee is a legend in the comic industry. X-Men #1 is what kick started the modern age of comics. His art style heavily influenced the other artists from the time period. Everyone from Todd McFarlane to Marc Silvistri adopted Jim Lee's style. He might not be the best artist in the world, but I don't see how he's overrated.

OMG, how could I forget Rocafort. I hate that dead look all his character have in their eyes, his paneling is hot garage, and the sketchy look gets pretty grading after awhile.

The reason people dislike Ramos is because he has been put on so many big series when he should obviously be doing goofy comic relief series.

I wouldn't say he's bad, just has a distinct cartoony style. That is all.

I don't like Ramos currently , but I honestly think it's not because his style per say, I think it's more that his style doesn't lend itself well to modern coloring and shading.His art need a more darker vibrant coloring and contrast to really work, and he's getting pretty lazy with his proportions these day.

robs popularity spiked again (in my area) after the deadpool movie came out.

the way id describe him is a deadbeat dad who returns years later after he just discovered his child he abandoned became rich and famous
