Phyrox Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Those look way too over the top for me. I like the more classic look. Superman should look like a regular, built man...not likwith muscles and veins popping out everywhere. So, I had to vote neither. Quote
Chuey Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Personally, I prefer the way Alex Ross draws Superman. Quote
Stamen0083 Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Turner's Superman looks vicious. I get the feeling that he can kick some serious ass. Lee's version isn't without its charms. I can't get used to Ross's Superman though. I've never been a big fan of the "realistic look for the fantasy" type. Quote
wolfx Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 I don't follow the comics....but wtf...what's with Evil Superman with Matrix bullet stopping action and him pwning Batman? Actually, i can't see anyway batman can win superman unless he has kryptonite. Quote
JRock Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 George Perez. I love the way Superman was drawn in the 80's Quote
EXO Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 (edited) I do! Just kidding... that's my poor man's version. Alex Ross is my favorite Supes artist... so you knew better than to put him on the poll... Lee and Turner are both great artist. I just can't get used to their stiff poses and gritty teeth expressions. Edited May 6, 2004 by >EXO< Quote
Hoptimus Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Bruce Timm! Although I must say I like both Lee's and Turners Superman also. John Byrne was great and so was George Perez. Quote
Beware of Blast Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 I too like George Perez's Supes style better. But I like his Wonder Womahn bettar! IMHO, Jim Lee's art has somewhat gone down a few notches. I used to like his X-men and the early WildCATS comics... maybe his pencils is just ordinary without Scott Williams' precious inks... I dunno... but those were the good times. Quote
Blaine23 Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Of "new" artists, I'd go with Ross. His work is revolutionary. I'm also a softie for Frank Miller's rendering of Supes in Dark Knight Returns. But to me, Superman's a classic, thus my pick is... Quote
EXO Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 IMHO, Jim Lee's art has somewhat gone down a few notches. I used to like his X-men and the early WildCATS comics... maybe his pencils is just ordinary without Scott Williams' precious inks... I dunno... but those were the good times. YUP! I think he started to lose it during his WildCATS stint. His Omega Red arc was probably his best looking book. Quote
JRock Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 I too like George Perez's Supes style better. But I like his Wonder Womahn bettar! Don't get me wrong, BOB. He's the best at drawing the DC women. My point is I'm a fan of the way Superman was drawn in the 80's. And when you think of Supes comics in the 80's, you think of Crisis on Infinate Earths. You think of Perez. Quote
Beware of Blast Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 (edited) Ah yes, I was thinking Crisis on Infinate Earths, but didn't remember the name just now. EXO, 1989 to 92 were the best Jim Lee years. Edited May 6, 2004 by Beware of Blast Quote
Agent ONE Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Superman should not look like a steroid using bodybuilder... In real life most people think this looks like crap: Quote
JRock Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Ah yes, I was thinking Crisis on Infinate Earths, but didn't remember the name just now. Yep. That was Perez who did the pencils as well as that famous poster. He said it was grueling and ended up hating some of the DC characters. Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Mike Turner didn't do the actual art work inside the "Godfall" series, but he did draw the covers for that mini series though Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 I personally like Roger Cruz's or Joe Maduriera's Superman pic of a Roger Cruz drawing...it was the best I could find without searching all over the net Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 IMHO, Jim Lee's art has somewhat gone down a few notches. I used to like his X-men and the early WildCATS comics... maybe his pencils is just ordinary without Scott Williams' precious inks... I dunno... but those were the good times. YUP! I think he started to lose it during his WildCATS stint. His Omega Red arc was probably his best looking book. I like Lee's Superman, but hes done great work since Wildcats. he did a pretty awesome Run on Gen 13 and the Divine Right Miniseries. the man just kick ass.... ....mmmm....Jim Lee's Caitlin Fairchild....

Ladic Posted May 6, 2004 Author Posted May 6, 2004 I like both, but I think I lean towars JL better. Quote
uminoken Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 I'm actually gonna go with Stuart Immomen who just finished up Superman:Secret Identity (which if you don't have, BUY IT!!) Along with his realistic character style, the guy does AWESOME landscapes. btw, the Godfall storyline was drawn by Talent Caldwell with covers by Mike Turner Quote
Warmaker Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 I'm leaning to ward Lee's rendition. Not that Turner's was bad. I don't regularly follow comics but I did follow Lee's little run with Batman recently. As for the story it seemed ok. I enjoyed Superman's appearance in the run. Like I said, I didn't follow comics too much. Quote
Sundown Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Hrm. I'm a Jim Lee fan, mostly of his X-Men stuff... but neither really wow me here-- Lee's isn't bad, but a little "Eh.", and Turners' looks like one of the myriad of Jim Lee copycats, even though I do like how he draws musclature. But his Superman looks positively... metro. What with them funky eyebrows. And not metro in the Metro-polis way. -Al Quote
Mr March Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Definitely Jim Lee. I've been a fan ever since his work on Punisher War Journal, and then on to X-Men and Wild C.A.T.s. I love his style. Somehow Lee manages to capture the internal detail well, yet he has a great eye for simplifying the frame of an object and providing a very simple silhouette. Just looking at the first picture of ole Sups in this thread, you can see how the art work blends into a beautiful merge of detail and edge as it approaches the outer edge of the character. Always loved that. Quote
gerwalk25 Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Alex Ross is my favorite Supes artist... so you knew better than to put him on the poll... I used to like Lee when he illustrated for X-men and Wildcats myself but lost intrest along the way the same for Michael Turner during his Witchblade and Fathom days. I voter for neither. IMHO Alex Ross is the Norman Rockwell of comic artist. Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 (edited) if any of yall haven't picked up the new Superman/Batman books with Michael Turner, they are worth it, with Jeph Loeb Writing.... Turner is bringing back Supergirl..... ...And his Princess Diana (Wonder Woman) is absolutely gorgeous just to add, i am not a huge Alex Ross fan. sure he does awesome work, but he hates Kyle Raynor as Green Lantern... Edited May 7, 2004 by Isamu Atreides 86 Quote
Ladic Posted May 7, 2004 Author Posted May 7, 2004 I agree, that has to be the sexiest I've ever seen wonderwoman. Quote
Sundown Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Nyeh. Not particularly impressed with Turner's Wonder Woman there, actually. She's lost the strong jawline and her classical Amazonian beauty, in favor of the minxious starlet look. She looks like a Gen 13 character doing wonderwoman cosplay. Artistic interpretation, I guess. And Superman still looks meeetro in that panel. It's a bird. It's a plane. It's Thuperman. -Al Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 She looks like a Gen 13 character doing wonderwoman cosplay. Artistic interpretation, I guess.-Al Come to think of it, a J. Scott Campbell run on wonder woman would kick ass. Quote
