Okay, my turn.

Favorites:
	
Todd McFarlane:  He's still got it, and the paper quality helps, too!
Jim Lee:  WildCATs is incredible, artwise.  I'm not a big X-fan, tho, so I 
	didn't discover him until this summer.
Erik Larsen:  I absolutely hated his stuff in Amaz.Spidey, but that was be-
	cause of the inker.  His stuff on Savage Dragon just buries his Spidey
	stuff.  'Nuff said.
John Byrne: I didn't discover his stuff until this past August, and boy, was
	I impressed!  Needless to say, I look forward to each issue of
	Next Men.
Marc Silvestri:  Ditto here, but with Cyber Force, not NM.
Ben Edlund:  Perfect for The Tick.  SPOON!  :)
Bart Sears:  He's coming to Valiant!  Ohboy!  His stuff in JLE was absolute-
ly magnificent, especially the later issues (with Randy Elliot on inks.)-- 
#23-28 just blew me away.
Andy Wildman:  Check out Transformers #69-80 for some really great stuff.
	(PLUG)  I hope he returns to TF when the new series comes out! (PLUG)
Dale Keown:  I miss his Hulk already.  I hope PITT comes out soon, or I'll
	die of Keown-deprivation! ;)
Larry Stroman:  Wow!  Check out his early X-Factor stuff, and Darkstars #1-3.
	Really great stuff here.  And Tribe looks to be good, too.
Greg Capullo: Ahhh...I dropped Quasar after #36 for budget reasons (tho I might
	pick it up again), but his was the best artwork on the series.  He
	also had some pretty amazing covers, too.  (#22,29,32,33,34, and 35
	stand out.) 
Jeff Johnson:  I don't read Wonder Man anymore (budget reasons, again, tho
	I might pick this one up again, too.), but I love his stuff.  I 
	think he's doing Amaz.Spidey #376 (with Cardiac.  OHBOY!); that
	would be his dream come true, I believe.  I'll have to check it
	out.  (Personally, an issue of New Warriors by Jeff would be great!)
Mike Parobeck:  Too bad I don't read JSA.  (B.R. again!) :(
Greg LaRocque:  I don't read Flash anymore (guess; also, Mark Waid can only
	script; he can't tell a story by himself.), but I absolutely loved his
	work when it was inked by Jose Marzan, Jr.
Mark Bright:  Green Lantern #26 was gorgeous!  (Yeah, I dropped that one, too!
	I have a LOT of catching up to do!)  Valor is a waste of his energies.
Pat Broderick:  GL #20-24 were pretty good.
Kevin West: Ditto with Comet #5 and #12-13 (I dropped the title after that.
	Guess), but his Guardians OTG stuff sucks (It's not the right style,
	and the wrong inker is on the book)!
Darick Robertson:  His style took a little getting used to on JLE, but New
	Warriors just blows me away.  :)

Favorite Inkers:  Dave Garcia, Mark Farmer, Larry Mahlsteadt (sp?), Scott Wil-
	liams, Jose Marzan, Jr., John Beatty (he took a little getting used to 
	in JLE), and more.
 
Least Favorite Pencillers:  Any of the early Transformers people (pre-Jose
	Delbo), and Rob Liefeld.
Least Favorite Inkers: Ty Templeton (Elongated Man LS), Jim Valentino (Hey,
	I like his stuff when Steve Montano inks it!), Randy Emberlin, and
	others.

	--MikE...time to go study.  Somebody wanna boot me off? (Just kidding!)
