I don't recall how long ago it started but Thor seems to be able to float/
hover in the air. However, he still needs the hammer to direct him when
he is moving.

Thor slowly gained the power of flight since the 90's. I think artists just forgot that little fact.
Thor still uses Mjolnr in the movies, which I think looks great.

I used to really, REALLY want to work in comics as an inker. Seeing those pencils above almost makes me glad I didn't pursue it with vigor. That Thor spread above terrifies me. The figures would be ok. It's that background. Lookit that!!!

Man. Look at the weight and dimension those figures have. Especially Captain America. He's an absolute MASTER.

I can understand if someone says they don't like JRJR's art style. But if they say he isn't a master at his craft. They have no idea what they are talking about.

The sky is what scares me in that spread. The buildings are fine since they overlap. You just have to keep using smaller and smaller lines as you approach that horizon to give the illusion of depth. The sky however is full of stuff that does not overlap. You have to make some very clear decisions on line weights for the sky or it will look very confusing. But I share your "oh shit" initial reaction if I was having to grab a quill and a brush.

Kick-Ass might be the only book I've bought where I didn't like the story but continued to buy it for the artist. Really looking forward to the Batman prequel and All Star Batman.

"Humble as he is John says he has no style, only a "deadline style"; That's not true. He really has a very distinctive style"
I can totally understand this statement. I'm willing to bet money that a big influence on JRJR's and even Kirby's style came down to needing to get this stuff done on time. A lot of what we see is artistic short hand, but they have gotten so good at it that their styles have a special magic.

Sorry being late about JRjr faulty colored art from last page but here I have the ultimate offender: Mexican version of Spectacular Spider-Man 101 (It is not a joke, I have it a home).
I guess there was not proficient people working in the publishing industry in this country during the 80's . [Post reformatted by JB]

And while I am at it. What is wrong with people?I can not believe someone could not like JRjr art but more unbelievable is that there is people that do not appreciate it. Do they think that JRjr do not draw "pretty" (I mean like Jim Lee that do pretty men and women, perfect human specimen) so his art is "bad".Is that it? Maybe Romita does not do "pretty" but what he does is BEAUTIFUL.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, many look at JR.JR'S
rendering ability and find it, not to their tastes. If I
judged his work by that alone, he might not make my top 10.
But, that said I do enjoy it. That's just my personal
taste. These days, I rarely judge comic art by the ability
to render. There are many artists working in the industry
today who make pretty drawings.
What I find to be indisputable, is his ability to tell a
story. That's a learned craft that can be quantified by
looking at the work and understanding what tools a
storyteller has to create a story.
To me, that's what makes an artist a "comic book artist".
To me, storytelling is the artform. The ability to render
pretty pictures is just a bonus.
Its my belief, that as a storyteller, JRJR is a class by
himself. I think he's the best in the business today, and
possibly the best the medium has ever produced.
