I remember this being Jarring. Bill Sienkiewicz is a great artist but didn't really fit for the World's Greatest comic Magazine. I don't understand what's wrong/different about it. That makes at least two of us. |

I really like what I have seen of the Steve Ditko Hulk (Tales To Astonish #65-68), I think I prefer his to Kirby's actually.  |

I love 'em both (now), but this change was pretty jarring:   |

Speaking of which, this splash page from The Incredible Hulk Special #1 (October, 1968).  Artists: Jack Kirby [as JK]; Mike Esposito [as MD (Mickey Dimeo)]; Bill Everett [as BE]; Steve Ditko [as SD]; Marie Severin [as MS]; John Buscema [as JB]; Gil Kane [as GK]; Dick Ayers [as DA]; Herb Trimpe [as HT]; John Romita ? [as JR]; John Severin [as JS]; John Verpoorten [as JV] |

JK + JS is probably Joe Sinnott.

I too like Ditko's Hulk; often, he would give the Hulk a very dismissive / surly expression instead of the customary rage many other artists would slap on his face. Ditko's Hulk face had a lot of character, and in concert with the Tales to Astonish stories he provided the art for, his Hulk seemed like a more vengeful creature than one who just rages/smashes everything angering him. |

JK + JS is probably Joe Sinnott. The letterer made a boo-boo. It should actually read JK + CS for Jack Kirby and Chic Stone (inker of the cover to Tales To Astonish #67, from which the image is taken).
Cei-U! I summon the red pencil!

And if Bill Sienkiewicz’s Fantastic Four is jarring, then I wonder what that makes Skottie Young’s from Venom #18 (November, 2004).  |

It's stylistically very idiosyncratic and may not appeal to everyone, but he's a helluva visual story-teller. His compositional choices and panel-to-panel flow are superb. His superhero work can be a bit of an acquired taste, just like Humberto Ramos's, whose art is quite similar looking (at first glance, I thought that page you posted was actually by Ramos). I think the best thing I've seen Young do was the Marvel Illustrated adaptations of Frank L. Baum's Oz books. Those were utterly enchanting and his art perfectly captured the "cutesy/creepy" Oz aesthetic. |
