You aren't wrong there! I'm currently rereading Romita Jr's run on Uncanny (just realised how oversimplified "Mohawk Storm" has been become by fans of today, what a deliciously complex character arc!) and his line work is just spectacular. Skip forward to those first few issues of Avengers vs X-Men, and I can barely stand to look at his art. He has derailed quite tremendously, especially when placed side-by-side with the great modern master of grandiose, Olivier Coipel!

Speaking of Coipel, when are we going to get a Lady Loki figure? Man that was a great story.

Edit: In regards to the quality of modern artists, I think it's like any form of entertainment - you have to sift through them to find ones that take your fancy. I wouldn't necessarily call many of them outright bad, and there are plenty of brilliant workers in the industry: Olivier Coipel, Stuart Immonen, Cliff Chiang, Chris Samnee, Pia Guerra, Jerome Opeña, Phil Noto, Gabriel Hernandez Walta, Kris Anka, Russell Dauterman.. and these are just the mainstream ones plucked off the top of my head!
