I don't get why people keep saying try Hawkeye. It's the same general style just with minimal inking and coloring.

While I do sometimes choose books for the artist I think OP needs to find a character(s) they like because an artist staying on a book for it's run is a rare unicorn.

Also I'm not going to give reqs because I don't want to waste time trying to convince someone who's obviously not wanting to get in that much.

Hawkeye's also unique to the superhero genre because it is drawn completely without ego. Superhero comics have a lot of splashy storytelling--which isn't a bad thing, really. That's part of the fun with a lot of books. Big, dynamic angles, dramatic foreshortening, improbably poses and bodytypes, and general flashy panels.

Aja doesn't do any of that.

He draws the story simply and effectively, completely confident that his absolute skill and craftsmanship, will carry it. And it does. And it's perfect for the sort of book that Hawkeye is--a story about an ordinary guy. He's drawn like just a guy. Kate's drawn to look like an average, fit teenage girl. A minimalist style is hard to master, especially the way he does it, understated, but capturing all the little ways that real people move. Not to mention his layouts, which are all his own, and use the comic medium perfectly to move the story in time, speed it up, slow it down, disorient, and explain.

And because of that simplicity, his artwork makes the story more intimate, more real. Little motions, quiet gestures, careful touches, never really drawing attention to itself, but still perfectly suited to the story.

Plus, his anatomy is boss. He never fakes it.
