I think the best on that list is Darwyn Cooke, but my fave would probably be Marcos Martin

Bloodshot by Paul Grist

Eternal Warrior by Michael Avon Oeming

Magnus, Robot Fighter by Steve Rude

Ninjak by Chris Samnee

Shadowman by Mike Mignola

Solar by Mike Allred

I like most of them, but if I had to choose, I'd choose Timm.

It wiped out all the votes when I added Martin, so please re-vote if you haven't already.

And now I'll do one for what I'd consider the ultimate indie superhero universe (for me). The twist is that if the artist already draws the book, he moves to another one.

    Savage Dragon - Bruce Timm

    Madman - Chris Samnee

    Hellboy - Paul Grist

    The Big Guy & Rusty the Boy Robot - Mike Allred

    Nexus - Michael Avon Oeming

    Tom Strong - Darwyn Cooke

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Jeff Smith

And now America's Best Comics --

    Tom Strong - Darwyn Cooke

    Top Ten - Michael Avon Oeming

    Promethea - Mike Allred

    League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - Mike Mignola

    Greyshirt - Steve Rude

I really don't consider Timm as much of a comic artist as the others. If I done would tie Rude.

I'm kinda surprised no company has tried to license all the Hanna-Barbera superheroes to start a comics line.

Warner Bros owns the rights, so DC has first refusal.
