I think Lee's prime was around 2003-2006 (Hush, For Tomorrow, All-Star Batman & Robin are good examples). He's still awesome, but I find Reis more to my liking in the New 52.
What do you guys think?

Hmm, depends what characters they're drawing.
I love Lee's Green Lantern and Batman, and generally most of Lee's artwork, but Reis does an unbeatable Aquaman.
David Finch is another one of my favorites, although he's generally not associated with anything that good.
Since Aquaman is my favorite character...edge to Reis. His work on the New 52 has been fantastic IMO.
@citizenbane: Reis has more dynamic pencils, but I feel like his facial work is horrendous at times. Otherwise, I prefer his work to Lee's as it's more fluid and less stiff.
I feel like Tony S. Daniel is the best artist in DC right now.

Honestly I feel like at least half a dozen guys are doing spectacular work.
But yeah. Daniel's art in Superman/WW is amazing.

Hell, even with the amount of bitching people do over Superman/WW - the art in that book is pretty damn good.
Oh without a doubt. Francis Manapul, Rags Morales, Doug Mahnke, Kenneth Rocafort, and especially Paul Pelletier!
@deranged_midget: Sorrentino's work on Green Arrow is fantastic too.

Oh god, the waitress.
Well let the fight begin!
5 points will be consider here: Storytelling - Expressions - Body Language - Background - Overall look.
So to me even i like both the same it seems like Ivan wins 2 Vs 0 and 3 draws, what makes Ivan better than Jim!
@deranged_midget: Sorrentino's work on Green Arrow is fantastic too.
Without a doubt and that work is largely overlooked. Cliff Chang's work on WW is pretty impressive, clean and exciting as well.
Jim Lee changed the industry, but his artwork has become something of a novelty when compared to other artists these days, its a tough call.
Meh Jim Lee is kind of underwhelming these days, isn't he.
I vote Ivan Reis.
Reis. He just keeps getting better and better. Should've had him do the art for Forever Evil.
Lee keeps getting progressively worse. His work in Superman Unchained is pretty weak.
Agreed. Like I said, Jim Lee's prime was around 7~10 years ago.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought this.
Yeah, it's pretty bad when the art in the backups upstages the art for the primary story.
