10 of Our Favorite Comic Artists of 2013

By Andy Hunsaker

Mittens on kittens and balls tied up with string are not the only favorite things we have. That is how the song goes, right? Anyway, it’s the end of 2013, and The Book Report hosts – Iann Robinson and myself – are dishing out our favorite things of the year in a series of quick-hit samples, without the trappings of silly “rankings” that tend to permeate these types of lists. We all know taste is subjective by now, right? So instead, how about we all just share some artwork (properly credited, of course) by artists we love? This list isn’t exhaustive, and there’s plenty of room for additions, but for now, here are ten of our favorite artists of 2013 with quick samples of why they’re our favorites. These folks gave us great stuff this year.

GREG CAPULLO

JAE LEE

Sample: Batman/Superman #2

 

STEVE EPTING

Comics Editor Andy Hunsaker has written for Yahoo! Movies, Fancast, XfinityTV and UGO, among others, covering movies and television, and has loved comics ever since he read the giant-sized Marvel Treasury Edition of The Rampaging Hulk #26 four thousand times and grew to love guys with weird heads like M.O.D.O.K. and the Bi-Beast.  Therefore, he will also defend Ang Lee's Hulk, although he understands why you don't like it and won't hold that against you.

As far as reviews go, he believes the main point of being a critic is not to pass yourself off as the final arbiter of quality passing holy judgment on a work of art, but rather just to share opinions so that the reader can decide whether or not the critic is someone whose tastes generally align with theirs.  If so, that reviewer is one whose work you can trust if you're curious about a particular title.  If not, cue loud, angry internet vitriol.
