First, I'm disappointed they just made Hulk red. If he's Rick Jones couldn't he look just a touch more like... Rick Jones? I'm not talking body building Lim-style Hulk (I may have lost some people there) but just not Bruce Banner Hulk painted red.
Since we're talking about artists' I though I'd throw my favorites into the ring.
Todd McFarlane- made Spider-Man look fluid and more agile than anyone else and inspired most modern Spidey artists with his interpretation. More importantly, his characters out of costume looked different than a lot of cookie cutting dress-up dolls a lot of artists seem to be stuck with. No two characters of he drew could be mistaken.
Jose Madureira- his own artistic style was heavily influenced by Japanese cartoons, his style really created a whole wave of copy-cats that defined the look of comic books for a period. Of all the artists I've followed, his career has been the most fun, a person can see as he grows. He's got some really incredible and unmistakable stuff going on in the Ultimates (3) right now.

Chris Bachalo- Has a very blocky style that I love. His characters also look unique. Does a lot of smaller-press stuff and I personally, never get to see enough of his work.
You had me at "Hulk." Thanks for bumping the comic book topic.

It's not Rick Jones. We don't know what the deal is yet, but this new Hulk seems to be enraged and coldy calculating at the same time.
Are you reasding it? You should. The first two issues are very good.

I agree. I really like McFarlane's stuff, especially on spider-man. Later I thought his work got a little too detailed, but that's nitpicking.

I've got to disagree with you on this one. While I love the way his japanese influence gives the pencils a great sense of motion and action, that same influence ruins it for me because of the faces and hair. I can't stand it.

The blocky style is pretty popular these days, but again, I don't like it. I didn't like it when JRjr shifted to it, and I don't like this stuff, either.

I used to be an out and out comic book geek, still have the comics from Jr High & High School bagged, backed & boxed and safely stored away. They may not be worth a whole lot but I still love them. My favorite was always Daredevil...Frank Miller's stories were awesome.
So today I am at Barnes & Noble have a lot of time to waste so I read all of the Planet Hulk & World War Hulk graphic novels. Wow! Thats was a really cool story and I never really got in to Hulk as a kid. Now I have to ask, where do I go from there Hulk-wise, is Red Hulk the next series or was there something in-between? and who is this Sentry dude that fights Hulk to a standstill?
My vote for worst comic artist of all time is Bill Sienkiewicz. I was so looking forward to "Elektra Assasin" when it came out and his art made it almost unreadable. Just ugly, non-comic art to me... I am sure others will disagree but blech.

Red Hulk is the "next" story, and so far it's pretty good. But, if you're looking for some good hulk stories, I'd start with "Future Imperfect" and the first couple of trade paperbacks of Bruce Jones' "Incredible Hulk" (from around 7 years ago).
The Sentry is a strange character. He's superman-powerful, and his story was that he's actually been a part of the Marvel universe forever, but his enemy, The Void, somehow wiped everyone's (including the Sentry's) mind of his presence. The Sentry went mad and only recently resurfaced. I hope they clean the mess up they've made with him soon.
