Don't get me wrong, I take nothing away from the mans talent, I respect what he can do, but there is a difference between respecting and liking. At the end of the day it all comes down to a matter of personal opinion. I don't like Ross' realistic style and its as simple as that. Plus in interviews Ive read with and about the guy it seems like he a mightier than thou jerk.
That part is true about Ross. He kind of reminds me of John Bryne or Peter David. One thing about Alex Ross is that he LOVES the Silver Age of comics. I remember one time he said the best version of the Justice League was the one from the Superfriends cartoon.
