Interesting that you compared Capullo with Silvestri as I noted early on (when Cap was on X-Force) that his mastery of anatomy and his framing of storytelling reminded me a lot of Silvestri as well.
Yes they definitely have a similar compositional style, very dynamic, and less rigid and posed than say, Jim Lee. Ultimately, Silvestri would end up following the Jim Lee esthetic for a while there in the 90s and beyond...
I like Marc Silverstri's characters a lot better than Jim Lee's. Cyber Force had a better aesthetic than Wildcats. Let's be honest, some of the Wildcats looked stupid and had dumb powers. Warblade with his dumb costume and Maul got dumber as he got bigger. I mean some of the Cyber Force members were generic too but they were well written.
I would say the writing on Cyberforce was only slightly better than on WildC.A.T.S., but I definitely agree with you that the character designs are better overall. Both are somewhat derivative of the X-Men and other characters from Marvel and DC (Maul is Hulk, Zealot is Wonder Woman, Ripclaw and Warblade are Wolverine, etc.), but Silvestri at least had a unifying theme to the team, where Jim Lee's designs were all over the place
