Andy Kubert stages superhero stories like film, with wide establishing shots, clean sightlines and a steady build to the hit. He drew X-Men through the nineties, then Wolverine: Origin, Marvel 1602, Batman and Son and Flashpoint.
Silvestri draws in sharp angles, whipping hair and tense wiry anatomy, a look that defined a stretch of Uncanny X-Men and Wolverine. He co-founded Image Comics and built Top Cow, home to Witchblade, Cyberforce and The Darkness.
Ottley draws fights that hurt, with bodies breaking and expressions holding nothing back. He drew most of Invincible's run before moving to Amazing Spider-Man and Hulk.
