Okay. I'm sorry too if I overreacted. Just to be clear: if I grumble that I think a work is "fail," I'm not saying that its fans are terrible people with no taste. I know a number of Morrison fans IRL. About this particular arc, though, I don't know their opinions.
Thing is: there's a big difference between even somewhat realistic art and PHOTO realism. I don't agree that Photoshopping a picture into an illustration is the same as drawing in a somewhat realistic style. I had a drawing teacher who I admired greatly once explain that "a photo is contracted space, but an illustration is expanded space." I think that a lot of people respond to this unconsciously when they literally see a traced, doctored photo as an illustration. It doesn't *feel* right to the eye even if the viewer doesn't know exactly why.
My trouble with Quitely is that I find his forms and faces stiff and uninteresting. But I could say the same about any number of more "realistic" artists, as well.
