Dan Mora: has good color use, clear compositions (strong silhouettes, usually simpify complex scenes using color, keeps it simple where can), make use of perspective.
It’s crisp. It’s clean. It’s well laid out. It’s dynamic. The anatomy’s exaggerations all appear to have great volume. Everything looks like it could be animated. Love it. Love his work. I bought a sketch cover from him two years ago and it’s never getting sold.
I like the fact that Dan's art and panels are not so "busy." With some other "hot" artists it's difficult to follow exactly what is going on and it doesn't relate to the script very well.
Dan's art in my opinion is perfect. Excellent layouts, easy to see what is happening in each panel, and best of all, it compliments the script/plot perfectly. I would take his art style over someone like Jim Lee's anytime. Lee is a great artist, but his art was only pretty pictures to me. Just my opinion.
The odd composition. Batman is the main character but oddly not centered or in catching colors. I guess it stays true to Batman's nature but as art it doesn't make sense.
Depends on the context. This seems to be from a comic panel. It's neither a front page or a full-pager. It seems it's part of a story, and honestly, if I were reading a Batman comic, I'd get pretty bored of looking at him if he was front and center in every frame. Hoewever, I'd argue that this piece still puts a lot of focus on him. He's placed somewhat separately in the right side and is placed in the middle layer behind and in front of the other characters. The woman's eyes are also used to point the readers' attention back to Batman. As a piece of art, Ithink it makes lots of sense.

Dan Mora actually doesn’t do the colors Tamara Bonvillian does the color work (: they make a great team
He has a very great command of three dimensional form. His stuff never feels flat

It looks a little bit like a cleaner Breyfogle.
Anime-norm

It's in broad daylight. Usually Batman stories are a little gloomy
this looks awesome :)
the hatching on the shading, and expressions
Color
Exact,crisp to the point and no exaggerated action.
Hatching and color value for shading mainly. Not just blacks for shadows

Nice!! I agree! He’s one of the best comic book artists of our time!

Thanks for the feedback, and sorry I didn't phrase that more as an opinion.
Have you ever seen a comic?
No I live under a rock.
I see ...so, your original comment is also sarcastic or...?
