ross is terrific but he isnt a ledgend. not yet. he hasnt done anything original, he is a great historic artist but neil, and kirby? no one is better than those guys.
I have bought everything that I could about Alex Ross, every sketch book, even his Terminator issues and I have studied art two years, so I can assure that Jack Kirby is better, the things he created could never be matched. Ross is awesome, but just because he is a usual painter doing comic.
Ross has drawn things in a normal comic book style with just line art, if you pick up a copy of Mythology you can see that art and much more of it. The reason why he goes into detail is not because he has no imagination it is because he wants to bring a sense of realism to the characters so that the viewer can identify with it realistically. Ross has loads of imagination, just please check out his storyboard art before you disagree.
Jack and Neal have more dinamism and imagination, everybody uses models, the important thing is that nobody can note that they use them. And with Alex Ross you can see it in every picture. Alex is great... but Kirby created everything related with drawing superheroes comics, he was really imaginative and realistic, and Neal Adams too, but Ross wouldnt draw something like the fourth world with his own imagination.
I would have to disagree imo,the way alex ross draws is just so realistic that he brings comic book characters to real life, of course using models as refs, but believe it or not jack uses reference as well,as a matter of fact every artist does no matter what type.Sure ross uses heavy refs but its how he tells the story through his art which makes it remarkable.I find jacks and neals uses a reg line art to show their detail which makes it boring, give me ross and lee bermejo anyday.

Thanks for posting! Mr. Adams is so incredible, rips that sketch out in a couple minutes and it looks amazing!

Saying Alex Ross is better than Jack Kirby is moronic.
No.
It's sub-moronic.
