Both Batbooks have the same editor, and it's clear that Dini knows what's going on in RIP, and is using it in a very vague and distant way.

That's before even mentioning artists who work directly over photographs they've either taken themselves or seemingly just Google image searched. It's gotten really east to do "realistic" and comic art has suffered greatly because of it in my opinion. “trying to avoid mentioning “Alex Ross” so as to not distract people from his actual topic of interest”

As for the Michael Turner comment, what are these people supposed to say. When someone as famous (at least in the comic community) dies are they supposed to ignore it just because they didn't particularly like his work? So they mentioned they didn't like his work, but they did admit he had talent and was extremely devoted to his fans. They said positive things about him despite not being a fan of his work. I personally didn't see anything offensive about anything I've seen, but I guess I could see how it could be seen that way.
