BEST a Spiderman character has ever looked!!

[Gabe De Los Muertos]

What are your favorite renditions of different Spider-man characters?

Currently Marcos Martin draws my favorite Spider-man.

My favorite Green Goblin at the moment. I think this is by Frank Cho, I'm not sure. But when the Green goblin returns to ASM, the artist who did this should definitely be the artist for that arc.

[oldschool]

I am with you Marcos' Spidey.....it is just tremendous. Not that happy with Cho's Gobby; I am partial to JR SR's Goblin myself but of the current artists? Hmmmmmm, I have to think about that one....haven't seen him in costume much the last few years so lemme chew on it!

[rocky123]

I like McNiven's Spidey and I'm guessin' oldschool kinda digs it as well :biggrin:

Very, very similar to JR SR's version.....almost too similar for me.....almost has a "traced" quality to it. Not accusing him of it, but it just looks too close to the JR SR version of the mid-70's with maybe a smidge of Ross Andru's as well.

Yeah I agree with this, certainly seems like a nod to the greatest Spidey artist ever.


No...................

Unfortunately I must agree. JRSr best ever, Jr....not so much.

My mistake. To counteract the awfulness of his artirty, here's some Steven McNiven. You're all welcome.

The best Venom and Carnage was drawn by Mark Bagley of course.

I actually dig Kraven the Hunter's design in the 90's animated series. His original design makes him look too effiminate.

Cannot argue with Molina's Doc Ock from SM 2; that was pitch-perfect.

Not a huge fan of Deodato's MJ; something about her eyes always look off-center to me. Her body shots are great and I liked his Spidey (at least for the darker stories, which they were pretty dark during his time on the book, so that worked) but his "civilian" faces were often off, at least to me.

While he draws her aptly enough, his interpretation of her isn't a big favorite of mine, either, though I still of his work. I posted that because images like it remind why I don't buy ASM anymore. Moments like this are all but extint and in their place are promicuous, fetich-like sex, face licking, drunken one night stands, and proabably plenty more nasty, lascivious BS I'm not aware of.

Agreed....he was perfect on that title! He works really, really well on the gritty, darker stories.

[rocky123]

His MJ seems pretty inconsistent here. Lower left panel looks pretty bad but the very next panel on the lower right looks great. I could understand inconsistent from maybe front of the book to a page in the back but one panel to the next is just lazy I think. That being said as I mentioned in my post before this I think he has stepped up his game lately.

[arp2008]

Agreed....he was perfect on that title! He works really, really well on the gritty, darker stories.He does. Should the opportunity present itself, he should definitly be considered for DD.

Gotta disagree there. I don't like Spider-Man looking as fat as me.

[Beacon]

Sal Buscema draws the best Harry Osborn.

Bags draws the best Doc Ock.

JrSr draws the best MJ.

[CyberHubbs]

Paul is the Anti-McFarlane. Draws a terrible Spider-Man, but I love the way he does his civilians and architecture.

[stillanerd]

As good as John Romita Sr. and Jr., Todd McFarlane, and now Marcos Martin have been at depicting Spidey, the one I tend to picture in my head is how Mark Bagley drew him:

Deodato does do a good MJ, but maybe it's just me who thinks she looks like Liv Tyler whenever he draws her.
One of my newer favorites has to be Riviera and his entire style, or at least the style he's used for Spider-Man.

Personally I don't like it. I wouldn't particularly care if he was drawn like this, but classic Goblin needs no improvement, in my opinion. At least costume wise.

[whiteshark]

I hear you.
Paul Azaceta in some pannels do drawn a Spider-Man looking fat.
Still his gritty style which in urban stories which is a common theme of Spider-Man stories work well,plus he drawn well architecture and civilians.
And his layouts for both funny or dramatic scenes with Spider-Man had been cool in the stories so far.Just in Amazing Spider-Man#623 that is a perfect example of that like the funny scene of Spider-Man against the Simple Simon and the dramatic cliffhanger of the end of that same issue.
In both scenes,Spider-Man itself was well drawned in the context of those scenes.
For all that it makes it up to some panels in which Spider-Man is looking fat.

There has been a handful of Green Goblin stories since then, Goblins at the Gates he was on the glider with the mask on, New Ways to Die...those are just off the top of my head.

True....those are both (very) good stories.....I also thought that one of Howard Mackies few bright spots was the Goblin arc where he tried to make Peter his heir----I forget the title of the arc (was it "Darkness Calls"??) but it was very good.

And there was the Humberto Ramos drawn one, where he put Flash in a coma.

Loved that story but Ramos is one of very few artists whose style I dislike so much that it really impacts my enjoyment of the story. In this case, I find it so distracting that it took me out of the story, similar to Canete's work on ASM #611 last year.

John Romita, Ross Andru, and Gil Kane probably had the most classic Spider-Man, but as far as modern Spider-Man, I can't believe no one seemed to mention Mark Bagley. Todd Mcfarlane really changed Spider-Man to his more modern look, but I feel that Mark Bagley really refined it:

Romita Sr. will always be the #1 Spidey artist in my eyes.
My current favorite is McNiven and you're right about Bags. His Spidey is the Spidey of the last decade or so evidenced by the fact that it's usually his version that is portrayed on the majority of current Spidey merchandise (and normally JRSR's version if it's classic look Spidey merchandise).

[arp2008]

nothing comrade. :tongue:Tell me!!!!!

The best the character has ever looked is when Mark Bagley drew him. ANY and EVERY time Mark Bagley drew him. And that extends to the supporting cast as well. At least in my humble opinion.

[matthewaos]

I have to admit I never liked the new Green Goblin design, at least I saw it by Deadato in Thunderbolts.

Marcos Martin did not changed much the main design of Mysterio still it was a interesting new design.

I also really liked Joe Mad's Spider-Man, but he never really did anything with him long-term so it's hard to compare:

Though I loved his work on X-Men, I never liked his spidey on this issue.

This is amazing though.

I think also there's an issue right after Onslaught that shows Ben Spidey, though I'm not sure if it's Joe Mad or not. Loved the art though.

[coconutphone]

Not a fan of Joe Madureia on anything really. Too manga-y for me.

[coconutphone]

hahaha, and not funny COCO!!! :wink:

I'm always funny. :biggrin:

[coconutphone]

I love Marko Djurdjevic. I've never not loved a character he's drawn/painted. Have a few of his covers autographed too. I wa spsised when his variant for Avengers #1 wasn't a 50-50. Didn't want to pay $20 for it.

i cannot believe all of the love bagley is getting for his art on spiderman, i try to avoid him as much as possible. i was very happy when he left ultimate spiderman and immonen took over. romita jr's art for me is the best spiderman has looked, i know it isn't for everybody and to some eyes it is somewhat unconventional, but to me it is visually appealing. i love the covers he did on his run with Straczynski they were beautiful. thats just my two cents.

That's fine. It's your opinion and that's what the thread's all about.:biggrin:

Me either. IMO he's a terrible artist.

[CyberHubbs]

Me either. IMO he's a terrible artist.

His Battle Chasers was good stuff.

Draws cool robots, too. But that should be a no-brainer with his manga influence.

[oldschool]

Me either. IMO he's a terrible artist.

I don't care much for Joe Mad either-----but let's not call him a "terrible artist". It's his style that we may not care for----that's like saying Elton John is a terrible singer. You may or may not like his voice or style but there is no denying that he can sing.

[John Zaleski]

Me either. IMO he's a terrible artist.

Gotta admit, I like the redesigned Lizard.

One of the most inventive redesigns of a classic villain during the Gauntlet.

[rocky123]

Gotta admit, I like the redesigned Lizard.

Not a fan of the Lizard redesign since it's based on an iguana and looks less like a croc and crocs are much scarier than iguanas. Although I will admit it looks pretty scary compared to a regular fruit eating iguana at the pet shop. Also his arms are kinda small and look like they'd be pretty useless in a fight, sort of like this guy:

[NickFury90]

T-Rexes don't need arms to fuck you up(or, in the Lizard case, his lab assistant and child)

[Aziz Abbasi]

"John Romita sr" for everyone
"John Romita jr" draws an awesome Spider-Man, he's one of the finest artists in the business
I agree with arp that "Mike Deodato jr" does awesome art
"Mark Bagley" is awesome

[rocky123]

I like him, too.

Haha, I do too. Actually all the characters in Toy Story are pretty awesome :biggrin:

Yeah, this is true when your opponent is a herbivore maybe half your size. Doesn't make as much sense when your opponent is Spider-Man and you may actually want to punch him (or slash him I guess) back.

While I disagree and really like Bagley's art, I will say, I did not enjoy his Spider-Man as much in Ultimate Spider-Man as I did in Amazing. I am not exactly sure why, maybe because he switched inkers from Larry Mahlstedt to Art Thibert; or maybe he simply was getting tired of drawing him by that point.


Though I loved his work on X-Men, I never liked his spidey on this issue.

Ya, I really liked Joe Mad's Ultimates 3 Spider-Man as well. I don't recall him ever being involved in Spider-Ben(Scarlet Spider) at all, maybe it was Mike Wieringo:

Well, I guess that is a fair way to put it. I am a pretty big fan of Joe Mad, but a lot of people don't seem to care for his style; so I suppose I can live with that.

Man, Ringo is one of those artists that I just did not appreciate at the time. I remember picking up the Prowler story he did just after the clone saga and thinking “what the hell is this crap?”. Then I fell in love with his art during his F4 run and have since gone back and bought a lot of Sensational back-issues. Great stuff. Clearly teenage me was out of his mind.

I’m making it a point to avoid naming a favorite for Peter Parker or Spider-Man – mostly because I like a lot of greatly varied interpretations and some are great with one and not with the other – but Ringo is up there on both.

Mike deodato draws the best spidey in my eyes

[daveageallen]

Not a huge fan of Deodato's MJ; something about her eyes always look off-center to me. Her body shots are great and I liked his Spidey (at least for the darker stories, which they were pretty dark during his time on the book, so that worked) but his "civilian" faces were often off, at least to me.

why does she also look like a diffrent person in every panel. only constant are the eye colour and hair.

[Jason Abbadon]

Mike deodato draws the best spidey in my eyes
that must hurt like hell.

I like Rich Buckler's Spidey, and of course JrJr's amazing work.

[Russ840]

I also think bagley did a great spidey on amazing. Love bagley's venom and carnage. Jrjr green goblin is great and David finch did an awesome rhino

[Ned McDodd]

David finch did an awesome rhino

i agree, the issue from Fallen Son, was great imo with Rhino and Spider-man

[Gabe De Los Muertos]

Meh, Bagley's best work was om Ultimate, not Amazing IMO.

[Russ840]

Agreed. Def better on ultimate but I just prefer bagley's adult spidy from amazing.

[Aziz Abbasi]

He did a great adult Spider-Man in The Pulse

I don't like Finch at all. :/
Something about his art makes me feel weird, but I can't put my finger on it...

[matthewaos]

He also drew the two Ghost Rider series with Ennis. Amazing work.

[Beacon]

It always seemed to me that he was drawing the same three people in different outfits.

[whiteshark]

Max Fiurama illustrated a wicked Rhino in ASM#625.

[Vegas]

Oh, for the most part, what short attention spans!

Mark Bagley's Spider-Man is pretty classic.
Lithe, not overly muscular, normal guy for the most part. How Spider-Man should be.

[Pabloesco]

In recent memory, Mike Deodato, Jr. versions of Mary-Jane and Spider-Man stand out in addition to a personal favorite, Angel Medina's version of Spider-Man in the black costume.

in my comic room, I have that poster on my wall. :wink:

[CyberHubbs]

I love how JRjr draws rai -- wait, what? Did Shaggy just say he has a 'comic room'? Is that like a panic room, but with comics? I just see him sitting on the floor of this well-stocked, state-of-the-art panic room, surrounded by comics, with an electronically-sealed door, totally soundproof, and his wife is pounding on the door's little window, shaking a full trashbag at him.

Shaggy just serenely turns a page and keeps reading.

[matthewaos]

I want a comic room too...:frown:

When I moved from my porents house I thought I could get my old room to do so but no...

Yeah, his faces all look exactly the same, but I feel like there's just too much detail in everything too. I really don't like the way his stuff has been colored either, especially at the start of New Avengers.

[BrightestDay]

You can't go wrong with Romita Sr. or Campbell, IMO. I love the way those two draw all of the Spider-Man characters.
