The art of John Cassaday

Cassaday's art is exceptional. I've admired his work in Astonishing X-men. There is a very appealing competence in his approach, his characters are vivid, emotional. He is among the most talented artists working.

Oooh, ooh. I'm a huge fan of John Cassaday. His emoting is wonderful. Not many artists have the technical control to let you see a character think. And his line is beautiful -- that's the kind of line I admired so much in Paul Smith. AND his compositions are clever and occasionally beyond awesome.

I'm a big fan of Joss Whedon, so it's also neat to see his work carried by an exceptional artist. Lucky stiff.

the planetary #11 reminds me of Steranko.

Steranko was the friggin' bomb!

our comic shop (that has closed down) had Steranko's history of comics volume II. (the oversized editions I & II are all that came out) so after admiring it on the wall for over a year I asked to look at it. thumbing through it I sighed and said, "I know it will be too much, but how much?" the clerk looked at me and said, cover price. I checked at least twice more and he assurred me that it was cover price. I payed the man and ran out of the store. I still read through it, I need to find volume I.

So far, I know Cassaday has drawn the following:

Planetary
Astonishing X-Men
Desperadoes
Captain America (Vol. 4, #'s 1-6)
and Loremaster says he did some Judge Dredd.

Anyway, if anybody knows of anything else he's done, post it; I'd like to get it all.
