Legion of Doom’s Best of 2005- Artists
Charlie Adlard. This one took me a while to come up with, as there are loads of great artists out there. And since none of the guys I could think of did anything specific to put them over the top (like, say, draw 12 issues in the year), I decided to go with the one that draws my favorite title, The Walking Dead. It’s not just the writing that makes that title so great. -Fin Fang Doom
Alex Maleev Maleev’s scratchy pencils, heavy shadows and attention to detail fall somewhere between realism and film noir. It just looks damned cool. -Colonel Doom
I don’t have a favorite, but Alex Maleev, Eric Powell, Bryan Hitch and Leinil Yu always impress me. -Jim Doom
Bryan Hitch. “Ultimates 2” has, consistently, the best art out there. When it’s a little late, that time is put to use. -Jean-Claude Van Doom
In case anyone’s interested, here’s everyone I considered: Alex Ross, Mike Weiringo, Ethan Van Sciver, Phil Jimenez, John Cassady, Bryan Hitch, Mark Brooks, Ryan Ottley, Olivier Copiel, Scott Kolins, Stuart Immomen, Jim Calafiore, Paul Pelletier, Steve Dillon, Tony Moore and John Romita Jr.
Good choices. I would have thrown in Simone Bianchi and Tony Harris as well.
