I voted for Silvestri out of homage to him for the Australian Team X-Men run. Damn that sh_t was hot! Wicked awesome.

jimlee is the best artist in the world..

No one pictures Dan Jurgens Superman? That was good art he brought out. I always picture Frank Millers Batman. cause its the first Batman story that I loved.
As for Jim Lee and Sylvestri I have to go with Jim Lee He's the reason I picked up a pencil and started drawing.

The poll is heavily favoring Jim Lee but each artist on their day would be a hard choice to pick. I'll go for Jim Lee because he counts as a major influence during my formative years and I can't seem to shake it off. I first picked up his work during his Uncanny stint when there was the Extinction Agenda crossover. At the time he drew the best versions of Wolverine and comic book females.

His take on backgrounds and hi tech stuff were better than Silvestri's. I only started collecting Silvestri's art during his Wolverine run in the 90s. He has a great sketch energy that I thought Dan Green brought out well.

I favored Silvestri over Lee during his run on Cyberforce when Chris Claremont was wrote a few issues. The colour and inks really suited his style.

Nowadays I prefer Lee's style. It may not deviate too much from the 15 years plus but his work is so easy too read and follow. Silvestri's work is really busy at times and I'm sure there are fans who prefer that.

Either way, they still deliver the goods. (When their books are published.)

Thats a landslide victory for Jim haha

I would agree, for the most part I don't think he's wandered to far off the beaten path artwise from his original style, save for that period around '94-'95 when he was doing Deathblow. Man did his art go to total shit when he started drinking the Frank Miller kool-aid. Those first few issues he did before Sale took over where some of the shittiest looking pages I've seen from someone of his talent level. After that, I think he wised up, got back to his style and has since just been tweaking it here and there to get the most out of it.

i dont think the main reason for voting for one artist or the other should be "he draws more detailed" or whatever. i voted jim because like i said, his con sketches are awesome, and his stuff is more exciting when he draws fight scenes, IMO.

I'm puzzled. How are people suppose to validate whether they like a person's work or not? I think people wrote what they like about Jim Lee over Silvestri. Lee draws very cool galactic fight scenes that I haven't seen Silvestri do. Why? On top of his action sequence he stages a convincing backdrop with high tech armory and space ships.

Change that to Liefeld's drawing of guns, tech and equipment and see how he fares in the polls. Lee has an eye for detail that sets him apart from others.

What's the difference between "he draws more detailed" and "his con sketches are awesome, and his stuff is more exciting when he draws fight scenes?" Those are both opinions. What makes one opinion more valid than another?

And anyway, this is Fanboys Unleashed. If I wanna say I like Jim Lee because he likes cheese and Silvestri doesn't*, then you just have to deal with it.

*I have no idea if Silvestri doesn't like cheese, or even if Jim Lee actually does, btw. Just saying, is all.
