Alex Ross is the most over-hyped/paid comic artist in the industry… He can do the occasional cover or poster all right, but he’s absolutely garbage at sequential art, his color theory is abhorrent and his compositions are elementary at best. How comic’s biggest hacks became one of the most popular artists is beyond me, except that the masses simply cannot recognize good art from tripe.
@BawdyBijinder I can't believe you just said that Alex Ross is one of the best artists in the comics buisness and i'm sure basically everyone would agree with me.
I met Alex Ross while attending 'Grindhouse' at my local movie theater. I nearly exploded from geek overload in the lobby. He's a really nice and unassuming guy and I think I scared him by approaching him to say how big of a fan I am.
Mr. Ross, if you happen to read this, I'm sorry for geeking out and scaring you. Also, you rock! Thanks again for the autograph.
The dude has pretty much created his own market in the comics world. He is the Michaelangelo of comics. I think even Kirby would say Wow if he looked at some of his characters brought to life by Ross.
Alex Ross really isn't that good of a painter, there are MANY out there now who paint a LOT better. For example my art teacher Mark Miltz (you can look him up and go to his website) can do better and he's not really even that good. I personally can't paint or draw better than Ross but at the rate i'm going i will be able to do the same by the end of the year. I'm a lot better than say Linsner but i'm not on Ross's level yet. For the record I AM a big Ross fan, i got 2 Xmen and 1 Superman litho.
"My super power would be to make the imagined, real"... Green Lantern?
