For example
Compare Rick Leonardi's work in Spider-Man 2099, and the Star Wars: General Grievous mini-series. The amount of detail and quality have a big difference.

I literally mean that with higher artistic standards, I'd like to see these characters done.

I understand. The 90s wasn't precisely a good time for artists. Not only the rushed work and lack of details but also the "chlone artist" syndrome. Rob Liefeld, Jim Lee, While Portaccio, Andy Kubert, Marc Silvestri,, etc., they all had pretty much the same style. They look different now, Jim Lee has improved greatly. But back in the day you would think every cover was done by the same penciller... Good thing we are past that now. And now let´s just hope the 90s won´t happen again (because history tends to repeat itself...) .

I agree. Most of the comics back in the 90's had a very similar look (Don't get me wrong, I liked the art anyway.)
Comic artists have become very diverse, from what I've observed in recent comics, and comparing to 90's comics.

Which is a good thing for comics now. You can't say there is an style that dominates everything.
