Green Lantern - Who Did It Better (In Your Opinion) Joe Staton or Ethan Van Sciver 0

[Blastaar]

Gotta say I have always loved Ethan's dynamic Green Lantern sort of Finch's Batman. Joe Staton always seemed very average to me but in retrospect I am finder greater appreciation for his run and art. What say you?

Mike Grell. Then, Darryl Banks on the REAL Green Lantern.

Joe Staton....I’m biased towards this artists work in general. Nice examples of both artists thank you.

Ethan, because of the subject matter. For something like E-man, it would have to be Staton. The lightness of his work is well suited to the style of the story.

Scriver is a great artist, but I never found his work to be... suitable to Green Lantern as well as the other artists mentioned.

And now its tough for me to read anything by him.

Tough question. Clearly EVS is a better artist in terms of ability and execution, but Staton is very creative and his work defined the character for an era.

Not a big fan of his Cyberfrog and other indy stuff, its just so busy looking. I know he makes millions from it but I just don't think its as appealing as his editor approved DC stuff.

I suspect what you didn’t find suitable is precisely what I found suitable. My initial memories of GL were the Gil Kane versions, along with Sekowsky in JLA and Adams. Not a hint of light-heartedness (or much warmth) in the bunch.

I love this... These types of varying (and both completely valid) opinions are what I find most interesting in the comic art community... Its one of the pluses for having so many different artists and writers work on a variety of titles. There are constant themes that resonate no matter who is handling a character, but as fans we get to interpret so many different takes on the characters we love, and all have different things to offer us.
