For such a popular - he was THE Big Gun for a while when he hopped off Amazing and onto his own Spidey title - artist his stuff was remarkeably weird. Especially on Amazing, when he was inking himself. His characters are all caricatures, bulbous-nosed, long-chinned, either spindly or ball-like, his inking is a hideous mess of lines that somehow works and looks alright. His re-imagining of how Spiderman could look was interesting, though.He did one great cover - that Hulk cover with the Hulk reflected in Wolverine's claws. Again, I thought that was amazing as a 14 year old.But once he became a businessman, he seemed to stop trying and his art got worse. From interviews I've read with him, apart from seeming to be an asshole, he seems to have never really loved comics.
His writing is terrible. Those issues of Spawn written by Gaiman, Sim etc - while undoubtedly hack-work - make his stuff seem like the adolescent rubbish it is.

it was pretty good!! my chums & i rented that, ultimate hulk and the new katamari... spidey was enjoyable and kind of interesting in that they don't really make web-swinging as easy as pie... there seemed to be a bit of a learning curve. but god the voices got annoying fast!
hulk on the other hand was pretty wild! totally destructible city--knock over skyscrapers, throw trucks at helicopters, jump on everything... HULK SMASH!

Great on Hulk, though. Shame he had to start writing.
