I hope I'm not crossing a line, but I am guessing the artist JB mentioned is Art Adams b/c he mentions in his Modern Masters book that he takes 5 days.

From what he's said in interviews, Jim Lee's certainly not lazy. He mentions that he works a 12 hour day, including Saturdays, and even has a bed in the studio for when he works past 12 hours.

I think that certain artists, like Art and Jim, should only work miniseries, graphic novels, or runs on books that are done way in advance.

BTW--was Jim's Hush storyline really late? This All Star Batman thing is so incredibly late that I assumed in was on Miller's end, because I don't remember Hush or X-Men ever being this late. Is this Jim's fault?

I think Jim Lee said it was his own fault if ASBR was late.

Not a big problem to me, i dropped this bi-monthly book after issue 2 in august 2005, and since then i missed only two issues.

It seems that Jim Lee is more an editor thatn an artist these days.

As artist, I think he did only one issue of ASBR and one of Wildcat in 2006

Twelve hour work days and still could only produce two full comics in one year?! I don't know about that. He does nice work, but it isn't that nice.
