Not to pick on the guy, but does he have a fan following or something? Why is this guy still drawing books, ESPECIALLY, mainstream books like Captain America?

 

I think the art is completely third rate, annoying and out of proportion. I like Liefeld better!!

Good lord I hate his art. I've stayed with CA all along because IMO there has always been something good about it, either the art or writing or both. I've now had to drop it because the art is so bad that it wouldn't matter who wrote it.

He was very good all those years ago on Milligan's Shade the Changing Man and that Death miniseries. What happened - the law of diminishing returns?

[rob_react]

I don't know what his stuff looks like now, but even when he was good I wouldn't have pegged him for a mainstream book like Captain America. He was good for Vertigo, but something like Cap? That's crazy.

You're right, Goldust. Shade was really well drawn. Was this guy the artist that was working on UXM after Kubert? That guy sucked!!!!!

He had a long run on Generation X a few years ago, if I'm not mistaken, and it was annoying, too.

 

Sometimes the impressionist stuff works in a mainstream book, but this ain't one of em.

Yeah, that's it. Horses for courses.

When Joe Madureira did his own Battle Chasers book, the second wave or artists that broke off and joined his Cliffhanger imprint were Bachalo with Steampunk and Humberto Ramos/Joe Kelly on Crimson. (Danger Girl moved over as well.)

 

The imprint fizzled out obviously. (Cliffhanger, itself, was a spinoff of the Wildstorm label which is now part of DC.)

 

I like his art. He has a clearly discernible style that's not really superhero oriented per se. (At least not in the Image style.)

worked on Unc. X-Men for a while too

his UncXM work i liked, his New X-Men ("Assault of Weapon whatever" storyarc) was terrible

 

i thought Ramos was one of the cofounders of Cliffhanger, along with Campbell & Madueria?

i concur, haven't seen his mainstream stuff, but his work on vertigo's death was gr8t.

I liked his art on Shade, Cap! UUUGH!!!!! I just droped that title. Marvel has to get a decent artist on Cap soon or that book is in the toilet if it isn't already.
