The Top 10 Comic Book Artists Working Today Countdown List Extravaganza (According to Me, with All Due Respect to You.) #7

Lindsey decided we should get a portable air conditioner for the bedroom so we just ran out and got one. For whatever reason, the exhaust tube was especially annoying and frustrating to put together. But we conquered it and now its on to the countdown. Ladies and Germs, it's...

#7. Dustin Nguyen

Now I realize its a super stretch to make this comparison, but it seems fitting that Dustin Nguyen would be number seven on my list. What numeral is more angular and jagged than a "7." The angular high contrast art of Nguyen fits Gotham City to a tee. His work with Paul Dini on Detective Comics was no joke some of the most beautiful of last year. I can't wait to see what comes out of his new run on the recently launched Batman: Streets of Gotham. I'm really sorry about comparing his art to the number 7. That was stupid.
