i wouldn't say we all put them on a pedestal so to speak. Mcfarlane,Lee, keith,Kneown,larsen dare i even say Liefeild are all still excellent artists, i guess it's more like the generation who grew up reading comics in the 90s mainly lived with and came to enjoy their art. since getting back into comics 3 years ago now, i had gotten familiarized with ramos,capullo,campbell,hughes. i also enjoy their art as well.

same as the older guys prefer perez,zeck,romita Sr, buscema etc every gen has a set of favorite artists. im sure when these youngins here on the forum get to be in their 30s or later on they will think this current gen of artists are " the greats".
