FAVORITE? IVAN REIS vs JIM LEE

for a even more direct comparison here is the 2 of them drawing the same scene

lee

reis

Reis, easily for me.

Ivan Reis. Jim's New 52 work is hollow compared to his Pre-52 stuff, which is my favorite stuff.

IVAN REIS

nuff said.

As man my two favorite artists, this is tough for me

I love the way Jim Lee drew Superman and Batman, they just look "right" to me

Reis does better facial expressions and his work on Blackest Night might be my personal favorite of all time

If I had to choose one I'd just go with Jim Lee though

Jim Lee's art work really bothers me on Unchained. So along with the shotty art and boring story that book is practically unreadable to me... and yet I still buy it.

I like Reis, not to mention he finishes on time.

Jim Lee is a much better artist. Before and after new 52. His vibrant colors and attention to details are strong and look amazing

He doesn't color his work, or ink it.
Scott Williams(inker) and Alex Sinclair (colorist) are his most frequent collaborators.

Reis, no contest.

@squalleon: Well then they make an awesome team.

Lee.

Jim Lee has draw for a lot of my favorite books, so I picked him. Ivan Reis is a better artist, though. Ivan drew for Aquaman vol 1 which is my favorite Aquaman book, and he did a great job on Justice League.

@jayc1324:

How th actual f--k can you come away from the examples above and say Jim lee has attention to detail, but not Reis? HOW ON THIS EARTH? There is 50 times the detail in Reis's work than in lees

@movieartman: That is literally just one panel. That's it. One panel doesn't define their entire careers

Jim Lee

Reis. I like Jim Lee though

Jim Lee

Bump

@jayc1324:

1? There is like 20 examples for Reis up there

@movieartman: I only saw one at first but I still like Lee better

Not gotta lie I enjoy Jim's art more, but if it comes to who I wish was placed in any series I love it's Ivan. Jim is just to unprofessional.

Ivan Reis by a mile

I like Jim Lee for his classic look. Ivan Reis is very good at the blockbuster style but Jim Lee is well suited for DC's mythology much the same is for Alex Ross.

Ivan Reis

Jason Fabok

Jimbo

They're both extremely good, although I personally prefer Lee's style.

Pre-New 52 Jim wins, but post new 52 his quality has started to decline so Ivan wins in that era.

I prefer Jim Lee but his recent work looks sketchy and a bit rushed.

before

vs now

I'm going to go with Reis here. While I still think that Lee is one of the top in this field, I do think that his more recent work hasn't really been that amazing. Still great of course but I think there are others currently whose art I prefer more.

Jim Lee, his Batman is the stuff of legend.

and X-Men as well

Reis is the better artist but I prefer Lee

@ghostodoofus: to me, his drawings are just more well-drawn than Lee, more detailed

Reis. I've always thought Jim Lee was overrated

Reis

Reiss going off his work on Nu52 Aquaman but Jim's Batman and Superman is godly

Curious. Do artists in american comics do the colours as well?

Reis.
