Some of those have been in the business for a while. Jones' career goes back to the 80's. Jimenez and Weeks the 90's. Rivera and Reis for about a decade. 

I like Reis work, but he's of the Neal Adams school to my eye. Beautiful work for sure. but nothing that sets new boundaries.

Rivera is a solid artist, but I don't find anything spectacular in his work. 

Not familiar with Samnee's work Online search shows some nice stuff.

Young has a nice Watterson like style when he does the "baby covers"and its fun to see superheroes in that style. But they use him as variant cover gimmick too often. Still it's great to see someone with a more "cartooony" style.

George Perez brought me over with Teen Titans. Very excellent run. But John actually brought me over with much more with Superman and other titles.

Mr. Byrne re-introduced me to the Fantastic Four with this issue, which opened the doors to other Marvel titles during the 80's. Ah, to be young again with a decent allowance from my parents... :-)

JB got me buying FF and Superman on a regular basis. I'd give any project by him a look.
