Who was your favorite early '90s X-Men artist?

[DiceX]

I'm going through a box of comics I bought yesterday and find myself in a dilemma.

I love Jim Lee's art, but I must say that I find myself liking Silvestri's art on X-Men a little more. I might even rank Portacio's short work on the title a bit higher than Lee.

Jim Lee with Silvestri a close second.

[DiceX]

Artistically, that really was a great run of books.

I don't like Silvestri, and don't really know who Whilce Portacio is. Jim Lee's too obvious, so the correct answer must be Liefeld.

[oakman29]

I have always liked Silvestri's artwork.

[MagnetoWasRight]

Always been a big fan of Jim Lee...Silvestri is definitely a close second.

You really voted for Liefeld?

Your comic nerd card has officially been revoked.

For me? Jim Lee, hands down.

Yup, that's why I just snagged up that book of yours you had for sale.

[Speedy-D]

Well, I haven't actually seen any of the art you're talking about (enh, I'm sure I've seen a Jim Lee cover somewhere or other, but you know what I mean).

How does that affect my card status?

and don't really know who Whilce Portacio is.

 

Here's his bio:

Not a bad artist, IMO....

 

 

[Boboset]

Jim Lee easy, although Silvestri and Portacio were great as well.

[dupont2005]

Silvestri. I think things started going downhill with Jim Lee.

[DiceX]

Rick Leonardi was great, too. A very underrated X-Artist.

Whilce art is great. Just talked to him all weekend long at WW Anaheim, and Rob Liefeld.

Jim Lee

 

Silvestri a close second

[Gatsby77]

Lee. Covers to X-men 268 and 276 seals it for me. That said, I adore Silvestri's cover work in 234 and 251.

[sd2416]

Whilce started with 281.

 

Jim Lees uncanny run, to me was better then his Xmen run. It looked rushed on Xmen.

 

Silvestri is 2nd

Jim Lee on Uncanny X-Men

[zuckuss2003]

I picked Silvestri, very close second is Jim Lee.
