The comics world was shaken when, on Wednesday, news of Stuart Immonen’s retirement hit. Yesterday, we shared some of our favorite pieces of his work, but for today’s Reader Poll, we wanted to focus less on single images, but rather his overall body of work. We want to know what your favorite Immonen illustrated title is.
For an artist of such regard and stature, it’s incredible that Immonen never did a really long run on any title. He sort of popped around, especially after going to Marvel, but he touched just about every major property at the House of Ideas, from Spider-Man to the X-Men to Avengers to Fantastic Four. Not ony that, but his work on those books tended to coincide with big moments. You brought in Immonen when you wanted to make a statement. He also did two OGNs with his wife, Kathryn, that are very different than his superhero work.
It’s a stunning body of work, and we feel bad even limiting the options. But we must, so vote in the poll, and let us know if we left out your favorite book in the comments!
