Wich artist would you like to see in X-Men?

[Barnaby]

Hi,

Being a little "art oriented" myself, i usually choose my books because of the artist not so much because of the plot itself (doesn't mean i don't like to read good, solid story.) and, unfortunately, sometimes i come across some a not so good artist (at least in my humble opinion) and dream of having some top-penciler working in the X Titles! I really like Bachalo and he's in my A list, but here are some more names that i think are the best of the best (my opinion again), and would like to see an X-Men issue drawn by them:

Mike Mignola - the best!
Adam Hughes - Too bad this guy is not fast enough to draw a monthly title, he´s just breathtaking!!
Travis Charest - Same as above!
Marc Silvestri - Responsible for one of the best X-Men phases. Would love to see him back as a regular...
Joe Madureira - I love his work, and he gets better as the years go by!
John Romita Jr. - I would love to see him again in X-Men! He's responsable for some of the best X-Men issues!
Oliver Coipel - What a nice surprise!! Watched a few issues of the Avengers and he got me hooked!
Jim Lee - One of the best...

This guys are the best in my opinion... and would love to see them in the X pages! What's your opinion? Care to add any other guy? Thanks...

Cheers!

[Young Avenger]

I would like to see Adrian Alphona pencil a few issues of New X-Men or a book on the same vein as NYX.

[Cayman]

Ivan Reis and Steve Sadowski.

[CE_Rap]

Ethan Van Sciver [Green Lantern: Rebirth]

Alex Ross (they should give him a story to do like "Justice" for DC)

Steve McNiven, while at certain times i'm not nuts about him, is actually very strong when it comes to action scenes. (Check out New Avengers: Sentry, the fight with the wrecker in particular!)

Jim Lee would be nice, but don't imagine him ever doing anything Marvel again.

I could see Joe Mad doin' it again.

And perhaps...one day...by the grace of God...ME. (Trust me--i'm really workin' on it!)

[X-Factor]

Paul Smith.

I'd love to see him do more.

[rilokyle]

I would love it if Michael Turner pencilled an X-Men story. It would probably take years to complete, but it would still be nice.

I'd also enjoy seeing J. Scott Campbell pencil a title.

Man, I can't believe I forgot about Andy Kubert. I love his work on the X-books.

[Micro]

Any of the following:
Jim Lee
Art Adams
Joe Mad
Ed Benes
Alvin Lee
Jim Cheung

[Mariah]

He's supposed to be doing Wetworks again or something like that.

I loved his x-factor more than any single issue of his Uncanny run.

[Karl J. Barnes]

Kevin Maguire-if you loved his JLI, then I think that you'll love his X-Men

Paul Pope(write and pencil)- his very unique and creepy style might be a shot in the arm that the X-Men need.

[twilight]

Mignola thanks.

[Christopher O]

Heaven:

Olivier Coipel
Marc Silvestri
Steve McNiven
Bryan Hitch
JG Jones
JH Williams III

[rilokyle]

I thought of another artist I'd like to see- Ed Benes!

I loved his run on Gen13, and I might even by an issue or two of the new JLA (which I have never read) just so I can see his pencils.

There are actually sketches of his on the internet of him pencilling various X-Men, and they look hot.

Just check these out:

*kicks himself in the ass*

I forgot about Hitch. Even though he is a very, very, slow artist I would love to see him do an X-book.

That's the thing that's the biggest turn off with him, is that he is soo slow. Just get a fill in artist, instead of waiting 6 months to get 1 job done or step his game up.

[AceOfSpades]

Ethan Van Sciver [Green Lantern: Rebirth]


That would be so amazing... but you'd have to team him up with a good writer as well

[Madrox84]

I would like to see anyof the following:-

Adam Hughes

[Zombienorthstar]

Skottie Young.

[ExtraEpidermis]

Skottie Young.

I think I just fell in love. :D Skottie Young on an X-title would be crazy delicious.

Along with him I want Clayton Henry as a regular on an X-title that won't be canceled after a dozen issues. I can't think of any more off the top of my head but Terry Dodson and Mike McKone.

[Mariah]

I'd love to see Coipel, Pasqual Ferry, McNiven, Benes and the guy who did the first couple issues of NYX.

[steve2275]

[Sophisticated_Gamer]

I think i would like to see Bendis doing it, cause he would remove the Cartoony look of the X-men

[Editor]

Bendis isn't an artist.

You've missed the point of the thread.

[Sam T.]

Jim Lee
Mike Deodato Jr.
Marc Silvestri
Frank Cho
Michael Turner
Ed Benes
Steve Epting
John Romita Jr.


There are soo many great artists...!

[Madrox84]

Bendis isn't an artist.

Actually he is... He illustrated a lot of his early comic book work himself, for example Torso, Jinx and A.K.A Goldfish.

Whether S_G knows that is another matter...

Don't add me to the list... I didn't do nothing wrong...

[Sophisticated_Gamer]

wait what is this list? and well i just remembered he is the editor for the New Avengers Right?

[Madrox84]

wait what is this list? and well i just remembered he is the editor for the New Avengers Right?

Brian Bendis is the writer of New Avengers, Ultimate Spider-Man and soon the Mighty Avengers.

[Sophisticated_Gamer]

sweet, who is going to be on the mighty Avengers team?

[Madrox84]

sweet, who is going to be on the mighty Avengers team?

It hasn't been announced yet, but there is a speculation thread over on the Avengers board...

With regard to the sunject of this thread, i have thought of yet another artist i'd like to see work on an X-Title, Dustin Nguyen (i liked his work on The Authority: Revolution)

[Ronin Gunslinger]

I must say:
Jim Lee
Marc Silvestri
Joe Mad
Olivier Coipel
Leinel Yu
Cheung
Travis Charest
Steve McNiven
Tony Daniel
:cool:

[Sentinel K]

McNiven and Cheung for sure.

Oh and Cho.


........Psylocke....and Cho.........

...............

...........

Err........

It would be nice to see Lee do something but that ain't gonna happen.

[Tre Styles]

I would love to see an Ed Benes version of the X-Men. He's done some great work over at DC, and is about to put his stamp on the Justice League. I've seen some of his work over on DA, and there's this one pic of Wolverine that he did that just blew me away.
Also, Steve McNiven is a good choice too, and we've seen some of what he can do in New Avengers as well as Civil War with the X-Men. I would put him on a X-Men book in a heartbeat.

I would love to see a Adam Warren take on New X-Men. And Adam Hughes.:cool:

[TinMan]

Jim Lee-I would love to see his valiant return since he's my favorite penciler.

Michael Turner-I love this guys style, would love to see him on an X-book.

Frank Cho-Cho owns, would be fabulous to have him on an X-book, but I'll be gettin my Cho fix on Mighty Avengers, so I won't complain.

Marc Silvestri-I would also like to see his return, his "Here Comes Tomorrow" arc was beautiful and I would love to see more (his recent covers have been less than stellar, but I'm guessing its because he knocked them out fast since he has been penciling a Top Cow title regularly too, so I'll forgive the man).

Greg Land-the man's work is awe inspiring and so realistic, he just needs to stop using the same frigging references, the same poses over and over gets stale, he's been doing this long enough, he should be able to create on his own and still make it real looking.

Ed Benes-I've seen a good amount of his work (including X-characters he's done) and its all kickass, he would be great on an X-book, but I have him in JLA so I'm not complaining yet.

Honorable mentions:

John Cassaday-he's already on an X-book for a little while longer at least, I just wish it would remain longer than whats expected.

David Finch-his style is great and he's really developing as an artist, but he has found his nitch w/ the dark and violent Moon Knight. I say leave him there til he dies or some dumb writer screws up what Moench did and Huston is doing.

An awe inspiring TRACER!

Land sucks ass.

[TinMan]

Land sucks ass.

Oh yeah, like Bachalo's retarded ape people look any better. :rolleyes:

Pfft.

Dumbass.

[Sentinel K]

Oh yeah, like Bachalo's retarded ape people look any better. :rolleyes:

Pfft.

Dumbass.

You may not like his work but at least he can actually draw from IMAGINATION.

Land has no imagination and has to trace.

Hence Land sucks.

[Cayman]

Oooh, I'd like to see Benes as well.

And perhaps Dustin Nguyen.

And although he's technically worked on an X-Book in the past, Ariel Olivetti.

And Oscar Jimenez. Where are you Oscar?

Also, Clement Sauve.

Cay

[Sentinel K]

I'd also ike to see Tony Moore have a go at drawing the X-men.

Has he ever done any work for Marvel?

[TinMan]

You may not like his work but at least he can actually draw from IMAGINATION.

Land has no imagination and has to trace.

Hence Land sucks.

Well, Land doesn't just use a lightbox, he uses references and just freehands too. I think he's talented enough to do his own thing w/o the references though, he just needs to freakin try it! I wouldn't mind a slight style change if he actually started creating things himself, he's had enough experience, he would be able to keep things realistic but original.

Oh and Bachalo blows goats.

[Sentinel K]

Oh and Bachalo blows goats.


You're just jealous of the goats

[Brian M.]

McNiven would be great. His Emma Frost in Civil War #3 is the only time I've ever looked Emma and thought beautiful. She looked awesome in the book.

[TinMan]

You're just jealous of the goats

Yes, because I so wanna blow goats! :rolleyes:

Bachalo can handle the goats, I'm good. :p

This is what an Ed Benes Wolverine would look like:

Holy crap! Between that, and the jean grey!!!!

I'd like to see Romita Jr. draw the current X-Men book, so he could do this sweet a$$ Iceman again:

[mswood]

I want to see Perez do a smal run on the X-Men. He really hasn't done much since X-Men annual 3.. And his work as improved so much since then.

[TinMan]

This is what an Ed Benes Wolverine would look like:

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/36171278/

I just saw that for the first time like an hour ago while tracking down some of his work w/ a search engine, it is very awesome!

Holy crap! Between that, and the jean grey!!!!

Check out the rest of his Deviant Art gallery chica, theres some other X-Men in there, the dudes freakin sick.

[Madrox84]

That is awesome!!

He definately needs to do some X-Work at some point...

Now in color!
Yes! :)

[Madrox84]

Yes! :)
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/37321674/

That is fantastic, as are his pictures of Emma and Jean...

Marvel need to steal him now...

[rilokyle]

Seriously, Ed Benes is awesome. His art is quite good- I loved his run on Gen13. His girls are beautiful, and his men are pretty good lucking too.

The best part is that he seems to be able to stay on schedule. His Gen13 shipped every month, and hopefully so will his upcoming JLA. The only problem is that I don't read DC comics, so he should quit that job and come pencil X-Men for me. :D

[Zombienorthstar]

I wouldnt mind seeing Medina do a Beast mini...:D Whilst i think he does well with most characters i think that he draws the best Beast out there at the moment.

[steve2275]

I'd like to see Romita Jr. draw the current X-Men book
COLOSSUS as well http://www.freeweb.hu/nitro1/gallery/kepregeny/Rejtelyes%20X-Men/Rejtelyes%20X-Men%20302/Uncanny_X_Men_302_17_m.jpg

[Affinity]

I don't like Romita Jr. too much. Lately he's pretty tolerable but I hate switching between Lee, Silvestri, and Romita in my favorite era, the Wilderness era. Love the first two, not sure about the third.

That was back then, though. Wolverine's arc and Eternals was kind of fun. He needs a good colorist/inker, that's all.
