Why the dislike on Ramos

[Greg Anderson]

I knew you were going to like him because I dislike him. We have almost completely opposite taste in art.

Ha! Really? Who else do we disagree on?

I know we've disagreed on Ashley Wood before. And I'm not into Shaky or Chaykin and I think I've seen that you like them. Ones like that. And worst of all you only think that Ottley is merely "good".

Edit: And I'm not a Bachalo fan either.

[SPIDER-FAN(1)]

Personally I like his art, spider-man draw a very dynamic

See how much better that is? Now I can fully appreciate the story that Marvel is trying to tell with the real New York City. They should do the whole book with photos. That's the main problem with Spidey. It's supposed to take place in New York, but it's sooooo unrealistic.


Also, dig that belt buckle!

Ramos draws the best Anti-Venom:

OMG, you're such a damn heathen!

Ottley is good, yes. But I can't deny his talent. Actually, he's an amazing artist, but he doesn't excite me as someone like Ramos or Bachalo or Rossmo. But Ottley is by far one of the best and top artists in the biz today.

Agreed hands down!

I enjoy Ramos' art, but he does get carried away with his anatomy. How is Hobgoblin even standing there?

[King_Dave]

I love his work. In my Top 5 of all time. Love his lines and angles.

[Randumbz]

His art is pretty great. Nobody draws stuff as dynamic as he does. His way of drawing Spidey is one of my favorites

[whiteshark]

Yes, I agree that different kinds of art suits different kinds of stories, but I don’t think Ramos style suits Spider-Man. The Spider Island saga could have been a very chilling one, but with his art it just looked silly! The pleasure I usually get when reading a good Spider-Man story, was completely ruined by the art!

Art is subjective.I for one think that Ramos art style does work well in the mood of the Spidey stories.
But i can see why artists with a stylized art are not everybody cup of tea.
Anyways good point about what if Spider Island would have been illustrated by a diferent artist,that would surelly make for a diferent story.
For example if Opena or Deodato were the artists of that story Spider Island would surelly be a more darker story.
But with the several tie ins that Spider Island had illustrated by diferent artists (Black Panther,Shang Chi,Heroes for Hire,Venom) that allowed to that storyline have more variety in terms of art styles that contributed to that event.

I didn't get that far up.

Oh, you should! He's got a sprig of mistletoe hanging from it.

[GunnerAsh]

I love Ramos. He's probably one of my favourite Spidey artists ever as I'm a big fan of his unique cartoon-ish style. It's funny because I normally prefer realism in my comic art but Ramos is the exception. In all honesty I wish he'd done more issues since the end of Spider-Island and I'm so glad he's back for these final 2 issues. I can understand why people don't like him but the hate can be over the top sometimes.

No dislike here! I really do love his art. Love him on Spidey and I hope to see him in Superior!
