ALEX ROSS Superman is now offically a Bodybuilder. That said, when was the last time he need that much muscle? How does this connect with his power when he was in his Superboy era? Oh, Batman, hrrrrrrrrr...... not just a man of bodybuilder size, the costume is gray on black, nice contrast not, might as well do even try to make any contract at all (lose the emblem). I guess if Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn't work out with his re-election, he could alway apply for a job for one of them if he is getting to old to be another cyborg (which should a cyborg ever looking old). Tell me how you feel about Alex Ross.

Well today I got Alex Ross's Mythology book as an early birthday present. Some beautiful work in there. A lot of the colouring in Kingdom Come I didn't like but the art was still amazing. He's one of the few artists who can make Superman seem heroic to me again after all the dark whiny crap that the comics have been spewing in recent years.

Um... I can't really determine whether Alex Ross is on his right career path or not. But I like his artwork...

Well, since he is one of the most on demand and highest paid artists working in comics today, I guess he would be on the right path, career wise.

I'm actually impressed with how versatile his style can be, he can do period art, overly muscled heroes, as well as a realism where he demonstrates how he actually knows how to draw clothes on figures etc.

Ross is one of my favorite comic artists. As for his career path, I'm not sure how to answer that. Almost every cover he does seems to sell well, so I guess he is on the right path.

Many people want others to accept their opinions as fact. If enough people accept them as fact then it gives the initial person or persons a feeling of power. This is why people will constantly talk about something they hate—they want others to feel the same way. It matters to them that others perceive things the same way that they do.

He's an excellent artist, but he is not that good at writing.
