He drew alternate Spider-Man costumes and the like. You can check out on his official site (I can't remember the URL) or unlock it (or use cheats) in Spider-Man: The Movie game.

Ah, no wonder he's over my head...he's a comic artist, and I'm not a comic fan

[The Defibrillator]

Same here. I never got into comics sadly....

I've only read maybe 3 comics in my life..

[The Defibrillator]

i think his pictures look great BUT they're not pictures in a comic book. I could imagine him doing a exhibition but everytime i read soemthing he drew i notice that his pictures are like frozen and a lot of dynamic elements get lost... so he's not a comic book artist.

[Taloniss]

His pictures are amazing, but as Anarky said, his storytelling lacks somewhat.

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

He's got a nack for realism. But he has a bad habit of making everyone look like they're in their mid-40s and he refuses to do anything but Silver Age DC stuff. He needs to broaden his horizons.

[Dane E5R]

His stuff is freakin' inredible. I've always been a fan of his work.

[Jo Dawn]

I like his stuff. Though, I only read Kingdom Come... but I thought it was really good.

[Mondo J. Gecko]

I think I've seen his stuff before... his artwork is very mythalogical... he makes all the characters very realistic.... I really lke most of his work... but I've never read any of the comics he's done... just seen all of his art.......

[Raven]

i think the newest one he did was jla: justice and liberty, its good, but the story is kinda weak

[Dr. Doom]

I'm not a big fan of Alex Ross.......I'll admit the man is talented as all hell, but......I dunno, he makes everyone look like TOO real.......they end up lookin' strange to me....

[host_punktmy]

I agree that his stuff is too realistic to convey what you would normally expect out of a comic.

He makes them look old cuz **** they are old. I love that he uses the old costumes. I think it makes sense I mean what every ten years does the origin change so instead of Batman being a kid in the fortys he's a kid in the sixts
The heroes never seem to age
Kingdom Come is set in present day and that means that Batmsn or Superman or Wonderwoman or whoever is gonna look a little old
That was the whole point of KC was that the old heroes were old and a new age of super freeaks was coming in

Now, this is interesting. I was talking to someone about this. Like, who would be the best comic book artist on the board? Like, compairing Cooksux, to me, to Kali, to Tokka, etc., what would be the best story telling through art?
