    I like Silvestri's work quite a bit, but looking at some of his newer stuff it feels like looking at his 90's stuff. And while Jim Lee may have not grown much as an artist as well do to cloning himself repeatedly, his stuff on Batman, Superman or any of his newer stuff it doesn't scream 1990's like Silvestri's stuff. Lee's work just seems to be able to stand the test of time more so than Silvestri's.
    Sorry, no time to talk. I'm busy drawing my books and stories! ;P

    I'm not really a huge fan of either*, but I like Jim Lee's take on Batman and I'd rather read a comic drawn by him than Marc Silvestri any day.

    * Before anyone gives me negative rep for that, I just want to say that I recognize both of them are very talented and good at what they do, I just don't go for that style.

    I think the problem is that Silvestri started cloning himself as well and went for a cleaner, more Lee-esque (I just made up a word), style. The stuff he did on his Uncanny X-Men run was the best IMO and it was very loose and dynamic in comparison to his work for Image. But he gets my vote based on his Uncanny X-Men run.

    Jim Lee. Jim's PWJ and early Uncanny X-men stuff are still some of the best drawn comics ever. Great story flow, great style great stuff, ranks right up there with Neal Adams or Garcia-Lopez Batman runs in my book.

    Liked Jim Lee more at first (early 90's) and liked Silvestri more later (late 90's). Right now I have no idea because I don't follow either.

    I think it would be funny if somebody changed their nickname to JimLeeforGodforGod....
