if you want to deny yourself the pleasure of the best art out these days, go ahead.

Your sarcasm is indeed funny :D .

Your sarcasm is indeed funny :D .

are you serious? Kollins is one of the best modern superhero artists around. His art is just so refreshing in an age of Jim Lee and Mike Turner copycats.

I am dead serious. His "no shading" style of comic book art lacks any detail and almost makes the characters look like stick figures. His old school Marvel stuff was ok, but his "no shading" style he developed while on the Flash for DC is very bland and ordinary. He is trying to coppy Jeff Dorrow's style, but doing a bad job of it.

Perhaps what he's really trying to copy is not Geof Darrow's style, but the style that influenced Geof Darrow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligne_claire):
