Maybe its the old man in me talking, but I really miss this style. Marvel also had a similar style at the time. Clean lines, bright colors, minimal detail, etc. The post Jim Lee/Rob Liefeld era slowly became a Western version of Anime/Manga today that looks a cheap imitation of what Japan has been doing for a long time.
There's a lot of stuff like that around. The covers are usually much different compared to interior art. Like, Headlopper which came out last week. Clean lines, bright color, minimal detail. Here's an example from an interior spread: http://andrew-ross-maclean.deviantart.com/art/Head-Lopper-2-...
I like the attention to detail in the anatomy and how a realistic human form can be suggested with a few clean lines. The men look like men and the women look like women. Idealized versions of such, but the realism is striking.
Maybe I've spent too much time looking (and laughing) at comic "art" by the likes of Liefeld...
