JR Jr. really benefits from inkers with super-clean, ultra-polished styles. I remember seeing his raw pencil sketches of Thor in preparation for the ongoing and was stunned by how razor-sharp his linework was. Then I saw the Thor art inked by Tim Townsend and Mark Farmer and I went from being iffy on JR Jr. to being a fan. (Then Klaus Janson inked the actual book and it didn't look anywhere near as good.) The cleaner the inks on his pencils, the better it looks. And I would add Vines to the list of people who really make his work sing.
