Fabok works in polished, high-detail realism suited to DC's largest moments. The Darkseid War and Batman: Three Jokers are built on that weight and finish.
Few artists have shaped what a superhero looks like on the page as directly as Jim Lee. His early-nineties X-Men work, all dense crosshatching and coiled anatomy, became a house style that later artists still work against. He left to co-found Image Comics and WildStorm, then became one of DC's defining figures on Batman: Hush and Justice League.
Romita builds figures from blocky, weighted shapes that land with real force. Across four decades he has drawn most of the Marvel line, from Amazing Spider-Man and Daredevil to Thor and Uncanny X-Men, plus Kick-Ass with Mark Millar and a run on Superman.
Jimenez brings bright, elastic energy to Gotham, with expressive faces, sharp costume design and fights that genuinely move. His Batman is among the most distinctive DC has published in recent years.
