So I'm gonna cheat a bit here on this one, and review Leinil Francis Yu, who's currently the artist for the New Avengers comic by Marvel.
(Civil War)
He's a is a Filipino comic book artist, who began working for the American market through Wildstorm Productions.
(pencils from New Avengers #33)
His work is characterized by a unique linear style, emphasizing detail and embellishment. It should also be noted that Yu was first recognized after winning the Wizard's Drawing Board Contest, his first published work.
After his popular run on the Wolverine series, he moved on to work on Marvel's core X-Men title in 2000, which was being written by Chris Claremont at the time. Yu continued to work on other Marvel titles such as Fantastic Four, Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk and New Avengers. He also co-created High Roads with writer Scott Lobdell at Cliffhanger, and Superman: Birthright with Mark Waid and Silent Dragon with Andy Diggle at DC Comics.
