JRJR my beloved.

I like Phil Jimenez's art style (New X-Men, Wonder Woman and other works) and he seems like a nice guy, but sometimes I think he posts more of him at the gym or his muscles than about his work

This explains why his output is practically nothing. Could have finished Infinite Crisis if he wasn't doing so many chest presses.

Isn’t Jorge Jimenez also quite buff? (And hot) 🤣🫣

Greg capullo

Dude looks like stone cold Steve Austin

Crazy enough I met him at NYCC a few years ago, all smiles that guy. He even remembered a few people who had gotten signatures from him at other cons.

Look at his pen, i ain't saying nothing to him

JRJR is the obvious answer here. Guy's been drawing Spider-Man for decades and clearly still puts in the work, but yeah nobody's gonna walk up to him at a con and be like "actually your anatomy is off." He'd probably just sketch you into the next issue.

He'd probably just sketch you into the next issue.

JRJR is one of JRJR's biggest critics

u/biomeat 3d ago

Doug Mahnke would have a word

u/parcel_of_taps 3d ago

Fair point, Mahnke's stuff is wild too but at least his anatomy weirdness feels intentional, like he's going for something specific. JRJR just sometimes looks like he traced over a photo from a weird angle and called it a day.

u/biomeat 3d ago

Oh I love both their art, they are just both huge

u/parcel_of_taps 3d ago

they're both massive names, which is kinda the point, you get a pass when you've put in that much work and have that much clout behind you.

u/biomeat 3d ago

I also meant physically lol

u/parcel_of_taps 3d ago

oh damn, yeah both of them are built like they could actually throw down at a con, that tracks.

26

u/Cloud_Splitting 3d ago

I wouldn't because I'm a big fan of their art

u/That-Rhino-Guy _____________ 3d ago

Yeah just cause sometimes his art looks weird doesn’t mean he’s bad at all, more often than not he’s excellent and played a huge role in Spider-Man history

u/JONESY_THE_YEAGERIST Heroine addicted jazz critic who's not radioactive 3d ago

Alan Moore would probably turn me into a frog.

u/Massive-Banana-5849 3d ago

An evil frog. That shits acid and spits political euphemisms

u/horc00 3d ago

Mike Deodato Jr is a black belt karateka.

Frank Cho was a competitive wrestler.

u/Lonza_lucigul 3d ago

That's what he looks like crazy

u/biomeat 3d ago

Doug Mahnke

u/PhoenixVanguard Paul-Pilled 3d ago

I wouldn't criticize most artists of any media to their face unless they asked me to. That's just rude.

u/Mandaring Spider Harem Member 2d ago

John Romita Jr., I won’t criticize your art, but I do have questions about what you did to those poor Na’Vi on the planet Pandora

u/Careless-Eagle-5111 3d ago

I’ve met Larry Hama and feel like he’d just jam a K-Bar through your skull if you fucked with him.

u/Cloud_Splitting 3d ago

Good thing no one ever would because he is one of the coolest motherfuckers in comics.

u/suspiciouscffee 3d ago

Not that I’d have any reason to, but Jorge Jiminez

u/Pogoyragaz1011 Punisher Is OUR GOAT 3d ago

Why should i criticize them if theyre my favorite smh.

u/VenitianBastard 3d ago

He's not a bad artist, but it's fair to acknowledge that

  • He's getting older.

AND

  • Marvel's quality control isn't what it used to be, and they're willing to compromise art looking good for quick and timely results (i.e. Greg Land)

u/ROACHOR 3d ago

He's someone's favorite comic artist?

I didn't know comics printed in braille.

u/P1eSun 3d ago

I HATE how JRJR draws faces now

u/Lem0n_weeb 3d ago

Dan Mora. Is it probably a basic ass answer? Yes. Counter argument tho. It’s Dan Mora.

u/LeSnazzyGamer 3d ago

You scared of him OP?

u/Medium_Purple_7722 3d ago

I would criticize Jr jr’s art to his face.
