He's one of those guys who I know is a very good artist, but who's art I can't stand.

He's okay, just not my cup of tea.

Neither is tea, I prefer coffee.

He's drawing that Hulk title now, right? It's pretty good, simple, clean art.

I like his exaggerated style. I think he is perfect for popcorn wide screen type stories like his work with Loeb on Superman/Batman and Hulk. Some people don't like those stories, but I look at them as I looked at the Bob Haney tales of my youth - not necessarily high art but undeniably fun.

By the way, you may not be able to make it out, but "Living embodiment of the Phantom Zone" is written in pencil.

I like Ed McG's art a lot. He doesn't fit the mold of the kind of artist I generally like, but his work is energetic and clean, very nice. Plus his Superman reminds me of Shuster's.

One of my top five Superman artists. Hell's let's make him Top 3.

I like his art, but I hate the action figures based on his art.

It's weird. Paul Smith and Mike Weiringo are two of my favorite artists, and McGuiness is very similar, but while I like his stuff well enough, I don't love it.

His art has grown on me, but I do not like him being the primary Superman artist.
