wow, really taken aback by the hate for JRJR here.. I mean, I know everyone has preferences...
(for instance, I really really dislike Rob Liefelds work, because... well I dont have space to say it all. Also, THE MAN INKS WHILE DRIVING. dont believe me? type 'rob liefeld inks and drives' into youtube. Dangerous ignorant fool. but I digress.)
Honestly, as a young artist, JRJR is one of my influences. I look to artists like him, Chris Bachalo, Tony Moore, Joe Mad etc as standout artists, because their design and sense of personality is so strong, and theyre not afraid to push comic books away from the norm. I mean, kick ass for example, the range of emotions and the strength of the story telling in the art alone sell the book, where as I like Keiron gillens writting, but cannot get past the static dead lifeless art of greg land, who surely goes down the realistic gritty route, but fails as a storyteller in so many ways.
I'd love some responses, provided theyre not just the "YOUR WRONG AND STUPID" type. Discussion is fun.
