I feel like Chris Samnee is overlooked by /co/ because of how much he works with Waid, who is clearly way past his prime.

Him, Paolo Rivera, Aja and Javier Rodriguez are only artists who can pull current new wave of shitty "self-aware" style that current Iron Fist and Power Man, Squirrel Girl and some other shit are trying to capture. Guess what, you can't cover up shitty art in shitty comics by calling them stylized, this is how you do it.

You want inspiration, watch Kim Jung Gi on youtube; you are going to have an overload of inspiration.

ACO is one of my favorites

Samnee's art is so good, I just can't stand the comics he works on

I did love that all ages Thor run though

>>84389127

Not really a fan of "best artists" lists (as I think there's way too much subjectivity involved when it comes to judging comics art) but the following active artists are the ones whose current/recent work I greatly admire:

Eduardo Risso
Goran Parlov
Sean Murphy
Tyler Crook
Stuart Immonen
Bengal
Kenji Tsuruta
Greg Tocchini
Matteo Scalera
Gabriel Hardman
David Lapham
Hiroaki Samura
Steve Lieber
Mike del Mundo
Eric Canete
Victor Santos
Gurihiru
Mike Mignola
Becky Cloonan
Gabriel Ba
Fabio Moon
Lisa K. Weber
Frederik Peeters
Guy Davis
Sean Phillips
Joelle Jones
J. Bone
Terry Dodson
Ricardo Delgado
Takeshi Miyazawa
Steve Parkhouse
Maurizio Rosenzweig
Geof Darrow

I was with you until right here

JH Williams is definitely up there.
>>
>>84390438
Marcos Martin and Javier Pulido as well

Tonci Zonjic kinda falls into the same spectrum but his work has a more gritty feel to it. Really there's a lot of great Croatian artists that are completely unknown to the American public (the most prominent being Goran Parlov, Goran Sudzuka, Dalibor Talajic, Esad Ribic, Edvin Biukovic (RIP) and the ever-hated beast Igor Kordej

Different strokes, anon. As far as mainstream-ish cheesecake goes, I prefer Dodson over Cho (Dodson's been doing solid storytelling/paneling with his more recent European comics work), though I do think they're something of an acquired taste.

sameface, manface, can't draw more than two body types (one's male, one's female), poor grasp of scale

Ramos at least draws his own shit, even if you don't like it, and tries to inject energy into scenes

That's a great example of different faces and expressions which happens to be a huge complaint with a lot of fans of comics. I'm sure you're trolling though because you're mad at someone else disagreeing with your picks.
