Oh, I don't doubt that there are people that dislike his art, but he's also critically acclaimed, so probably wouldn't fit the "universally disliked" label.

Yeah. This is odd. Sinky with more votes than RL? No Greg Land as an option?

WTF? I have no idea, while he was a Neal Adams clone early on I like his unique style...

You guys are being played. Sienkiewicz was leading 3-1 within five minutes in a poll where his very name shouldn't be included as a choice. And you fell for it?

I don't dislike him, but Sienkiewicz's work doesn't lend itself as well to sequential storytelling, IMO. He's a great artist but his work can detract from the story being told -- the work ends up being more about his art style than telling a story clearly.

2004 Eisner Award for Best Anthology (for contributions to The Sandman: Endless Nights) And Liefeld's sold millions and millions of shitty comic books. So what? The actual "universally disliked" artist would probably be some awful artist who never managed to sell any comics and then faded out of the industry unceremoniously. For the sake of polls like this, the artist has to be well known and famous to a degree -- and if that's the case, then the artist surely has some degree of popularity, either from critics or fans. (Incidentally, I voted Liefeld.)

His first seven or so issues of New Mutants are nothing less than genius, IMO. Some of the best comics ever. Then his New Mutant art started getting a little too out there for my taste. His work on Batman 400 is stunning. His Shadow series for DC are nothing less than genius. Truly original and ahead of its time. His Elektra: Assassin is groundbreaking for an American sequential artist. His Daredevil/Kingpin story started pushing the limits of what I will accept. Since then he has been hit an miss for me. His Sandman was amazingly beautiful. His 30 Days of Night is a piece of shit and I want my gd money back.

Again, I think the guy's art itself is absolutely gorgeous -- he's a true artist, no doubt.
I just find it distracting and confusing on a storytelling level.
