I personally don't feel that way but have read some forum discussions that state he is. Why do you think he is? There are much worst artist that have disgraced the pages of Spider-Man such as Klaus Jansen (possibly only in a cover but the shittiest thing I have ever seen published by Marvel) or that Ramos fellow. Does JRJR suck that bad. Do you feel that he only made it because of daddy (who by the way is the greatest Marvel artist, sorry Kirby fans)?
Who ever said JRJR is the worst Spidy artist eve is full of SHIT and I mean the bad kind of SHIT I'm reading JMS's run on Amazing Spidy and I have to say his art adds to the humor that JMS puts into the first 7 volumes of the book and his work on New Ways To Die and Character Assassination which are two of the most important stories to come out of brand new day gives us awesome fight scenes So any one who says his art is shit can go to Hell @LT1085: I'm talking to you
" no way...imo he's one of the best Spider-man artists...same with Daredevil....I will admit that I did not like his cover for Avengers #1 "
man, you read my mind. Top 3 spider man artist for me. And my real beef with his Avengers cover IMO is his unfamiliarity with Iron mans new duds. He def needs to step that Iron man up cuz its looking cooler almost everywhere I see it but in Avengers promo's
He WAS great. At one time his art was simply fantastic. But now he's developed his modern "style" and I think it looks terrible. In fact I'll skip a title if he's attached to it. It's a shame that he's made such a drastic and unneeded change.
If his art was a good in Avengers as it was in his Spider-Man runs I might have actually liked Avengers a little more...but sadly laziness took over and well that was that.... -__-
Anti JRJR folks are just ignorant. They probably prefer reading Liefield comics anyway. Where's the jerk off emoticon?
Ignorant? That's a little strong. First, comic art is a matter of taste. Doesn't make someone ignorant. But I stand by my statement that his "new" style is horrible compared to what he is capable of.
He is so not the worst. If you're looking for worst, you can try looking at Eric Canete's work. He made Spider-man's limbs look like Mr. Fantastic's. Stretch.
i cant stand his art work , characters always look like puppets , i used to hate steve dillion but i like his stuff over romita , ill even take bachalo over romita and he makes guy's noses all weird
JRJR - One of my favorite artists period, the only comics where he seemed to forget how to draw was in 2011. Now he seems to be on a roll again.
Ramos - His style fits perfectly with Spider-man since many times it's comedic. If he was drawing a Sin City comic then I'd say that he should stop but Spider-man is good.
Klaus Janson - Because when I think bad art I think this:

And this too. Eric Canete is probably one of the worst (Spider-Man) artist ever!
JR's 90's Spider-man run was awesome he's far from the worst. I'd probably put him in the top 3. I will admit his new stuff is somewhat lacking but he's still above average.

It's such a shame, really. This issue could have been great with Deadpool guest starring in it but the art was so awful i nearly threw up :(
See what I was talking about? That's like Mr. Fantastic on a Spider-man costume who is very malnourished and has bad case of arthritis. Geez. I am so glad this thread was resurrected. There's just no way JRJR is the worst Spidey artist.
If you ask me, Rob Liefeld is probably the worse to ever draw Spider-man (or any other character) in a professional setting. Though he is not really a Spider-man artist and he never drew Spidey in a major way, he still drew Spidey on occasion. Wanna see? Here, have fun scratching your eyes out:
Oh, hey, I didn't know Spidey became an alien. And, just a teeny tiny quick question: where's his knees??? And while you're at it, why are his feet so tiny...and is that a bowling ball hidden on his leg?Sh*t! I always thought Spidey had five fingers on each hand. Wait. Wait a f*ck*ng second. Are those crow's feet? Oh look, the missing finger (?) is sprouting from the middle of the other hand. There, saw it? Great, you can now curl into a ball and cry.I thought Spidey shoots, gee I don't know, webs? You know, from his 'web-shooters'? I didn't he was also manufacturing jungle vines. What a guy. Oh, and why is his bottom looking so much like a dog's? Is that Spider-man? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know he has evolved into Spider-dog.
@spideysense: Pretty classic spider-man pose he has jump like that many times. The web is spaghetti invented by McFarlane.
One of the worst is Ron Frenz his art was very stiff and boring and the panels was 3x3 more or less on every page however this should been a rule shooter used for many titles. However you could have a fight scene with almost 9 identical fight scenes. This was about 5 years after Frank Miller had introduced the noir style in Daredevil. However the art in the Hobgoblin lives and later on I remember to be better.
I liked Romitas work on the Spider-Man comics, but back then it looked like he was trying harder. Nowdays every single one of his characters looks the same.
The guy is amazing.He is maybe the best Spider-Man artist ever.But there are also Bagley,McFarlane and others that are also great but Romita Jr. is great for me.
