I understand that, I really do. And really, because you feel that way, there's no way I could honestly say you're "missing out" on anything. It stains and affects the work for you, however good it is for anyone else.
Me, though, I made the conscious decision some time ago to separate the art from the artist. To some degree, when an artist creates something and puts it out there for the subjective views of others, it no longer becomes "theirs." So with that mindset, I've chosen to still enjoy things like MADDROX and HULK: THE END (one of my very favorite comics, I think) without forgetting the kind of person PAD has shown himself to be.
And even if I don't like the art, well, as a writer, there's a lot one can learn by reading crap. For me, seeing what someone does wrong is a very effective way to guide me to try and express what actually is right, if that makes any sense. But at this point, I'm just musing on stuff.
