I agree, as much as its humanly possible for one to agree without the aid of computers and steroids, and boy have I had arguments with other comic fans about his work LOL
Simone Bianchi has a beautiful style, and he choses to break so many 'rules', that restrict many other comic book writers. I know when I see his work, he has talent and has put time into each panel, and that he did not trace over a picture of a girl in Frisky PlayPets Monthly, Extra Booby Black Label Edition, because those types of magazines, don't (I hope) have the weird and unorthodox angles that he uses with his depictions of characters. Some of the panels he draws characters from, I mean, you can't get the same effect from a photo, and art should strive for that. A quality impossible for a photograph to reproduce better in 5 seconds flat. A flaw I feel of some many of his peers.
The details are so fine too, plus his ethnic characters, actually look ethnic, its great. Storm has beautiful thick lips, and broad features and is as beautiful as implied, and you could look at that image in grey scale, and know who it is. Some other artists, their work in color, I can't even figure out who the character is supposed to be. Asian characters look asian Too.
Nightcrawler isn't pumped up like a body builder, he has a gymnasts, sleek and toned body. His characters have a nice solid weight to them as well. Gives them presence. I buy all his Marvel stuff, and Indy when i can. I agree, he draws Storm perfectly. He was great with his recent Thor mini too!
I could carry on, but I should stop lol
