Jim Lee is one of my favorite artist, really loved what he did on X-Men back in the day.

I love Gambit but I don't like how young and thin his Superman is. He looks like me when I was in HS.

I absolutely hate his art. His character designs for the new 52 are so damn bad.

When I think of X-men, I think of Jim Lee. That's what they're supposed to look like!

Jim Lee is great, but I wouldn't wait in line for five hours to get his autograph.

He may not be too good at communicating facial expressions and emotions but DAMN he is one of the best action artists working today

I heard of his work, he seems like a pretty good artist.

I wish he would do an X-Men for old times sake. I always wondered what his Age of Apocalypse would look like. Ooh lawd.

@Marvel72

Totally agree.

Just look at his variants for all the "Before Watchmen" #1 issues. They are awful.

His skills have deteriorated since going to DC. He was a god among men when he was at Marvel. Seems very nice though.

Amazing artist, I was lucky enough to get to meet him along with Mark Waid, Dan Didio, and Grant Morrison. Got some autographs from the guys as well. He is a really nice guy!

Went to his panel @ WonderCon this year. Very cool. Love Jim.

Hope he and Snyder actually make that Superman series.

If you hate his art then Why the [frick] would you click on this article or even comment. Just another shit faced turd bunch of fan boys. [frick]ing Jim lee was the [frick]ing standard in the 90's all of the biggest artist are really just imitations in one form or another of Jim Lee:

Finch
Charest Before he improved
Silvestri
Potracio
Jae Lee
Andy Kubert
Platt
Leinel Francis Yu

None of these guys were on the scale they were until Lee came along

Jim Lee is a good artist. I can't say he's one of the greatest of all time...

I hate most of his redesigns though.

Lee Bermejo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jim Lee

Just my opinion. When I look for inspiration for my work I look at Bermejo, I never think of Lee for inspiration.

I can't believe Jim Lee has personally known Rob Liefeld for 25 years (or more) but has yet to stab him in the mouth with a sharpened pencil.

Could you possibly draw a Batman/Wolverine one-shot?

Fanboys' minds would explode....

@ TheOneSuperMan: You could see my high school work on my facebook. I just decided to switch to digital painting a couple months ago so I'm still learning how to use that.

Jim Lee's definately one of the best, if not the best. I love his work on Hush the most. The artist who did Superman Earth One and Ivan Reis are also favorites.

I also love the stylized style of Tim Sale.
