This was actually kicking around in my head for a while. During Infinite Crisis, I decided I wanted all the George Perez covers, and it didn't take a whole lot of effort to tell the difference between him and Jim Lee.
However, I recently read Superman/Batman #26 (the one with a whole mess of writers and artists), and I couldn't keep up. Some of them were more easy to recognize than others. I could pick out Jim Lee, Tim Sale, Rob Liefeld, Jeff Matsuda, and John Cassady pretty easily. Their styles are distinctive enough, but I didn't recognize Joe Mad or Carlos Pacheco until I saw the credit page and went back and looked at them. And I LIKE Carlos Pacheco (moreso than Liefeld, for instance).
So I guess what I'm saying is, I'm not as good at recognizing artists as I thought I was. How good are the rest of you?
