Top 5 Modern Artists?

[Greedo]

Not sure I can do this depending on when we are talking about modern!

 

JG Jones

Mark Silvestri

Jim Lee

McFarlane

Walt Simonson

 

I know.... Simonson is older, but he did some modern stuff and I think of him like Adam thinks of Eastman. So he's on my list.

 

I can dig it!

[Mr Mylar]

I guess modern is relative as well? Anyways great lists!

Hey Mike,

 

Any chance you'll be using the lists that boardies have provided thus far as possibilities for your next opp

[Erndog]

My favourite growing up (yes, I'm still in my late 20's) was Michael Turner and Joe Mad. I'm not too fond of Joe Mads style anymore... well, I shouldn't say that. I still like him but he's not in my favourite category. Although, he doesnt draw anymore anyways so it doesn't matter.

 

Greg Capullo was sort of two-faced to me. I didn't always love his stuff, sometimes I wasn't too fond of it, but I found when I liked it, I REALLY LIKED IT.

 

Today, I like David Finch, Jim Lee, Jock, and Steve McNiven.

Quitely

Charest

I'm surprised more people didn't pick Epting? Maybe not top 5 but I'm a big fan of Andrea DiVito's work.

[A-DONIS]

J Scott Campbell

Jim Lee

David Finch

Jim Cheung

Olivier Coipel

[Dr. Balls]

I really miss J. Scott Campbell's interiors, and I would love to see Ebas go back to that as well, as I feel those two are at the top of their game for girly-pinup stuff, but they are incredible talented as well.

 

Frank Cho I think is up there for all-around. His interiors are incredible to look at. I really like David Finch's work when I see it.

 

And Jim Lee, IMHO, is The King. He was kind of like the Neal Adams of the Modern Age - whereas instead of bringing ultra-realism to comics like Adams did, he brought ultra-heroicism (if that's a word) to comics. His panels were pure action, movement and style.

That would make Jim lee more like the modern age Jack Kirby, would you say?

This is how it should have posted.

And guys is there a difference between the Bronze age and the Modern age. And if there is what year is the divider.

I think there is and I would guess 1995, is the year divider. Any opinions?

[DocGo]

I am by no means a large consumer of modern comics, but these are my five:

 

Gabriele Dell'Otto

Alex Ross

Charles Vess

Charles P. Wilson III

 

AND...

 

Jeff Smith

 

[LloydJBailey]

I'm gonna go with (in no particular order):

 

Adi Granov

Ariel Olivetti

Eric Powell

Jim Lee

Gabrielle Dell'otto

 

But I would remove one of these in order to add Mignola, but I don't consider him a 'modern' artist? But people have said Simmonson above me, and Hellboy is modern so hell, may I add him? .

I would. Jim gets better and better with age and is just amazing in every sense. I think Balls way of saying it was spot on and echoed my own ideas.
