    Geoff Senior's my all time favourite, but I does like the scribbly energy of Roland Borschi!

    Senior's TF work is awesome, but I'm also a big fan of Andy Wildman when it comes to giant robots fighting.

    best artist ever though I don't think I could choose, different artists work on different things. JR Jr's Spider-Man is by far my favourite, but his Iron man and Thor for the upcoming Avengers book look awful. Whereas Olivier Coipels work can often be sparse, but his Thor work looks amazing and fits the book perfectly.

    David mack makes lovely, lovely pages. I like the scratchy, gloomy stuff by Maleev, Jock, Sean Philips and the like. Romita Jr does great Spidey and great Punisher. Gary Frank's Superman is great, as is Amanda Conner's Power Girl.

    I'm just listing artists, aren't I?

    Katsuhiro Otomo and Jean-Michael Ponzio are on another planet.

    Otomo is a master, especially the details in his backgrounds, although how much of that is him and how much is his "studio"?

    Warren Ellis gets some amazing artists on his Avatar stuff, the detail in stuff like Black Summer is amazing.

    sometimes it depends on whats been drawn and if it best suits the story, the art of somethings could be considered crap in retrospect, but is awsome for that particularity...

    Travis, Travis, where for art though Travis?

    He coulda been somebody. He coulda been a contender.

    He did an X-Men/Wildcats comic that was just beautiful.

    When does someone jokingly mention Liefeld?

    Joe Madureira is one of my favourites, but since his last comic work was Ultimates 3 it's hard to point to any of his recent work and say it's good.

    Battle Chasers still holds a special place in my heart.

    I like Bird Studio's comics and Tsukasa Hojo's comics. They draw well.

    Lee Weeks on ASM. David Lafuente on Ultimate Spidey. If we're talking old school then Norm Breyfogle on Batman. That guy should make a come back.

    I've been thinking about this and after many days of mental gymnastics, league tables, point allocation and some underhanded attempts at bribery I've decided that The Best Comic Artist ever is/was...

    (drumroll, please!)

    ...Mr. Alex Toth.
