there are some rare examples where you can actually see and feel the artist's unique style shine and those are always great, but as far as mainstream stuff goes it never lasts and always has a chance of having shitty writer attached to it
Last time I was impressed by art direction was in the beginning of ANGR. If it was a manga, then we would get a full series of this art, with a single coherent story that in theory would have beginning, middle and end. But it is a western big studio super hero comic so they changed artist and writer, put the story on the standard superhero rails and then shipped off the character for their crossover event #456, please buy our comics.
Also in this instanse I'm talking specifically about capeshit
