Most Improved Artist

George Coleman - most improved droid not to reappear in the prog after his upgrade (Alex Ronald might fit in here too although see my argument above).

An early Starscan:

Carl Critchlow gets my vote. I've long been a fan of his stuff on Lobster Random and Dredd so imagine my suprise when I saw his early work on Nemesis. Great scott he looked like some kind of Bisely whannabe. Massive, huge improvement. Can't even fathom the transition period.

Coleby I've always liked. I think he's just tightening up. Hope I see him all over Batman and those other Big 2 books soon.

PJ Holden is fascinating. He's always been a good artist, but I don't know, recently there just seems like there is more power or soul or hhmm at a loss to put my finger on it. All I know is the work he did for Ennis is some of his best yet.

PS Mcmahon is still fantastic, brendan1. He just never stops evolving.

Ben Willsher for the reasons I describe here:

I imagine we'll see him further hone his skills over the next few years and get even better still.

That's it exactly - there's just something indefinable but extra in there.  Confidence to play with new styles on top of his own, maybe?
