Uh, obviously, considering his Dad was the art director at Marvel.

He was a better artist in his youth (pic related) but JRJR's art wouldn't fly if he was a newbie today. In the days of yesteryear you just had to be able to draw in the house style. JRJR was of the same generation as John Byrne and Frank Miller but he was able to stay mainstream during the Xtreme 90s and now he gets work based solely on his name. He's pretty shameless about crapping out whatever he can to meet his deadlines and get paid. He's also the co-creator of Kick Ass and got fat royalty checks off of the movies.

The comic book industry is a funny business. Huge talent pool and few jobs, so quality so be top-notch 100% of the time, right? But because deadlines are so tight faster artists are given a pass if their work is shittier. And guys like Chris Samnee who are both fast and awesome rise to the top.
