Their work is published!! Have a little respect for them in the fact that they ARE working artists!! I may not like all styles - anime and magna come to mind. But that does not mean that someone else will not enjoy it. This is kind of like discussing musicians. I'm positive we all have strong opinions about that also!! To each their own, live and let live I say.


Perfect.

Liking one artist or another is subjective. Reminds me of the discussion in the 90's artist. The old farts club of collectors didn't like Liefeld or McFarlane/McSpidey and left the hobby. The younger group of collectors got what they were doing and responded by buying the product.

The same can be said for music. Generally, the generation that comes before doesn't get what the next generation likes or desires.

His stuff has gotten better since it was published back in 2006? Even if you think his recent stuff is better (it's not), it doesn't make up for the 20+ years before that when he sucked *spoon*.

Look at the last panel - Caps' expression. I think it is perfect!! As for his body twists and such, he IS Captain America!!! Robbins work on the Invaders was some of my favorite stuff to read when I was a kid. It was full of action and seemed to pop off the pages. I think it still does. Can't you see Cap coming off the pages at you? Maybe it's just me ...


Yup, just you.

Nope. You are correct. Ramos and his ilk are horrid "artists". The fact they are employed and getting regular work is nothing more than a result of a leadership gap, and a lack of truly creative minds heading the current corporate structure.

A disturbing lack of interest in sticking to a standard and respecting even the most minute skill regarding proper proportion and anatomy. A daft, impulsive, rift from tradition to appease a temporary, or social angst for "diversity" and representation. Its actually comical to watch.

Times change? taste changes? fine. The human form does not!

That's just like your opinion man...

Also he only started in 1994/95 . So 2006 would be about halfway through his current career. 20 years before 2006 he would be about 14 years old. I get it it's your opinion, but to say he "sucked dick for twenty years" c'mon man. If your not a fan of people with different unique styles that stray from anatomy you probably hate at least 50% of comic books artists, including Kirby and Ditko. John Byrne was also heavily influenced by Manga, so you probably hate him too. You probably hate ice cream and puppies too.

Not all comic artists are John Buscema. Let's see a list of your favorite artists that stay true to the human form. For God sake's in How to Draw comics the Marvel way they tell you that normal proportions are not interesting. Blah!

You're right, I meant to say that he has sucked for the past 20 years, not for just the years before 2006.

I never said it was only Ramos' anatomy that sucks, he's terrible at pretty much everything, including storytelling.

And you're right, I probably do hate 50% of all artists that have ever drawn a comic book. How can you not? If you're saying you like every artist that has ever drawn a comic you are either a *spoon* or a *spoon*.

Good Luck to you sir. I wish you the best of luck in your further adventures of hating good things. Dispise Greg Land, and Rob Liefeld's art. I tend to avoid Mark Bagley's stuff. I refuse to give up on Romita Jr, I dont like Frank Millers more recent work, I love Steve Mcniven's realistic style, I love Art Adams, Joe Quesada, Frank Quitely, Fiona Staples, Joe Madureira, Michael Turner, Greg Capullo, John Buscema, Romita Sr, Kirby, Byrnes, Adams early art work. I think Ramos is right up there with many of these artists, especially Quesada and Madureira.

I said I would post a list of artists I like, not that "stay true to the human form". Why are you so stuck on anatomy? Ramos doesn't suck just because of his anatomy, that's just one symptom of the disease.

I don't think Sergio is a great comic book artist, but he is a great cartoonist. Plus, his background is a bit unique - how many other artists drew cartoons with no words as much as Sergio?

I'm biased, but that's because Robbins drew characters I really liked. You could make a case that it's six of one, half a dozen of the other

And here is the issue with Ramos.
He seems to be a cartoonist trying to be a comic book artist.
His heavy cartoony influences like Disney & anime/manga styles are not pleasant to behold if you're looking for a "grown-up" or intellectually engaging experience.

Scottie Young is another that I abhor. I find the artistic immaturity of the style offensive and disengaging.

While I'm at it, I might as well express my distaste for those stupid Funko POP! figures.
Every time I see one it makes me wretch.
