I don't get it. Cable and the X Force isn't going anywhere, why switch art team for no reason? Like they took Ron Garney off X Force for Dexter fucking Soy and put him on Avengers.
At least Morbius got cancelled. Do not put Keatinge on another book, he's the Greg Land of writers.
I think it might just be for that one issue focusing on Kang.

I started getting back in to comics again (did a brief stint in the early 90's) by picking up trades here and there for the last year or so. I started with Walking Dead, and then based on some GAF threads, I read through Y: The Last Man and the first 4 volumes of Chew. I'm also 2 trades in to Locke & Key.
As an old Punisher fan, I picked up the complete Punisher MAX collection, and got the first Hawkeye volume (again due to GAF). As I've been reading the Punisher MAX and Hawkeye, I'm finding it jarring how the art changes. With Hawkeye it isn't so bad as it changes issue by issue it seems, but with Punisher MAX, I've seen the art change mid issue at times. Sometimes it is so bad that it takes me a page or two to even realize that a character that appears is someone that has already been in the issue a few pages earlier. Towards the end of the Barracuda storyline was just awful.
I guess since getting back in to comics, I'm liking the independent books where the writer and artist stay consistent. I can't imagine reading Chew or Locke & Key and having the art change every few issues. I feel like the art is part of what makes the book what it is.
Does anyone else have this problem when reading stuff from DC or Marvel?

Lol at dat 3.99 price for Mighty Avengers. Land commands a high page rate.
My only complaint with the book is the publishing schedule, it doesn't exactly come out every month on a regular basis.
This months issue was great, especially the stuff with Feynman. I love the way Hickman writes him.

I reeeeeallly hope so Acuna has been amazing on this series.
Woah, Morbius finally got the axe? Damn Rafa, Keatinge seemed like a nice guy when he posted on Comic Book Resources but I guess it doesn't matter when your writing is boring.
Well that's one more spot for Winter Soldier relaunch.

I pretty much hate Secret Avengers too, not just because of Fake Fury but the "We want to be the Avengers movie but with all the craziness of the 616 universe!!!" storyline. And what the hell is with Ross having Widow unzipped to show dem tits yet again (on secret missions), it's so jarring coming from Winter Soldier where she's dressed properly, someone needs to crack down on all of the artist inconsistencies. She has short hair in some books and longer hair in others, and showing more cleavage in some, it's crappy.
The only reason I may pick up Winter Soldier issues is because that's the only place Bucky will be in the meantime, thankfully not on the stupid team itself. Spencer should just go "fuck it" and throw a bit of fan service our way by having Buck knock Fury Jr. out cold with his arm.

Keatinge is a nice dude. I've had some conversations with him over at the Image forums.
And say what you will about him, but his work on Glory with Ross Campbell was pretty spectacular. Campbell killed it on the art, and the writing was solid. Especially Nanaja's lines.

Yeah, Glory was great. Sometimes it just don't work out.
I'll check it out at some point I think, I feel bad for the guy especially since he's not a huge dick like someone such as Rob Liefeld for example. Choosing the character of Morbius and his approach to the entire thing was just a misstep I guess. I like how he's somewhat active on forums, writers that don't respond to letters or discussion (I know they're extremely busy people) sometimes feel a bit isolated from fans.

Alright. I don't give a shit about most Marvel stuff; But I fuckin' LOVE Nextwave. Is Elsa just a cameo or is she "joining the team?"

They really are. I like how each cover is completely different from all of the previous ones. They come up with some original ideas.
That was really cool. Greg's a good dude.

THIS IS SOMEHOW JUST AS PAINFUL AS JiM #645.
Very sad to see that Young Avengers reached #10.
Congratulations on having The Worst Opinion.
Now, question: who bought Suicide Squad #21? Because hooooly moly there's loads to like in this issue.

Why does every book I want to pick up die? ;_;
Suicide Squad was so good, second only to Manhattan Projects for me this week.
I'm guessing it was

COME ON! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY, Everything I love they destroy! FUCK EVERYTHING!
Fearless Defenders is good shit.
Buy #20, it's the first issue for the new creative team. Avoid 1-19 like the plague.
The Glass run is FINE. Not super good, but FINE. But yeah, spare yourself the expenses and go for #20.

It's a metaphor brah. We can never escape our parents.
It must have made great strides, I read the first trade and thought it was completely terrible.

Everyone check out Collider next month. I've been waiting for this comic for over a year and thought it would never come. That style, that color, that concept. Vertigo is back baby!!!

Isn't the YA traveling right now and taking a break from her till Wiccan learns how to remove her? You know with the dimension hoping looking cover.

I started getting Suicide Squad at #19. #20 was good shit. But apparently I forgot to add it to my actual pull list so I didn't get these weeks.
So instead I got caught up on Nightwing and Batgirl.
Both are surprisingly good. Nightwing is just *fun* whereas Batgirl managed to be creepy and atmospheric.
Is this like The SCP Foundation?
