Agree with all the early-era Valiant stuff

Solar: Man of the Atom
Magnus Robot Fighter
Rai (I loved Valiant's Y4K stuff)
X-O Manowar
Harbinger (Heroes started off feeling SO much like this, with Peter Petrelli being Peter Stanchek, and "The Company" being the Harbinger Foundation)

Green Lantern (even as a Hal/Corps fan I did like the post-Emerald Twilight stuff with Kyle, yeah that's right. I just didn't expect it to actually be a permanent change for a decade)
Astro City
Sandman
Spectre
Groo (long time personal favorite)
Thunderbolts
Spawn (yep)
What If? (wildly inconsistent, varying by writer, but I liked it)

There's a lot I'm forgetting, but obviously those made the biggest impact on me. Given time I'd remember a lot more. I did like the Age of Apocalypse stuff. I'm assuming this thread is just about regular monthly-series.

Amano drawn Sandman? This I gotta see.

It's pretty cool. The artwork is better than the story, in my opinion. There's also a comic version that was released recently. That one is illustrated by P. Craig Russell though.

Also, isn't this thread only for comics that started (and ended?) in the 90s? Neil Gaiman's The Sandman started in 1989 and ended in 1996. It doesn't really count by those rules. Dream Hunters is acceptable though.

Scud: The Disposable Assassin

A Scud fan?! Holy shit!

The Tick (Might be a little early I suppose.)

Amano always makes me want to rinse my eyes with bleach.

I can't say I like Amano art either. Too...blurry and weightless or something.

I find him hard to hate.

Love the colours, and I think his weightless style perfectly suits a comic that is supposed to take place in the dream world.

It's all so samey. That could be Dream, Kefka, Terra, Sabin, Edgar, or Realm in the images you linked.

Pencil scribble with an overexposed white joker face with weird proportions.

 

[yacobod]

for a series that has some very spotty and questionable art throughout that shit takes the cake

I know what you're saying, but I always thought that was on purpose.

Like, Dream changes his view (and appearance) whenever he wants. And we're seeing what he sees.

That's what I got from it.

Hard to find high quality images of the artwork, or to find more than the same few shots available online. :-\

?

I never knew there were people who didn't like this book because of the art.

 

[SpiderJerusalem]

Peter David Supergirl
Sandman
Marvel Knights Black Panther
Flash
Transmetropolitan
Strangers in Paradise
Green Lantern
Books of Magic

Thats what I liked back then.

Jesus, you are all wrong.

And you wonder why I chose this name as my tag.

I still think that first issue is better than anything that came after it; and it's probably the best thing Busiek has ever written.

Really? I REALLY was impressed by the Confession arc, but The Nearness of You is arguably the best thing that Busiek has ever written IMO. My heart wells up almost every time I've read it.

he's got a very whispy, ethereal, and sometimes ambiguous look to his art...i'm sure some people are put off by that.

I'm sure i'll get lots of disagreement, but I've been a big dave mckean fan. just big collages everywhere
