Whaaaaaaaa?! Where's he going? Why?!?!?!

He"s doing Ultimate Spider-Man so it can double-ship in December. He's doing issue six and I assume more.

I have zero problems with this.

Speaking of great art how do you guys feel about a book having a rotating pair of artists working on the book, in tandem, i.e. 'Tec with Jock and Francavilla, or (I'm not reading now but if the talk keeps up I very soon might switch over to) Daredevil with Rivera and Martin? At least as far as the 'Tec run went, I felt that the transition from one issue to another did not suffer at all, in part due to the interweaving of the independent story lines, and in part due to the similar yet distinct styles of the artists. I also thought that Snyder did a great job of adjusting his writing to the artists strengths. I can't give you concrete examples at the moment, as I don't have those issues with me, but I remember thinking, both during the Gordon back-up story and the normal run post 'Holding the Line', that it felt like I was getting something new and exciting all the time, even while there was a looming thread through it all.

Do you think this is something that will continue as a trend for the big two, especially considering the DC 'We Ship on Time, All the Time' idea and Marvel's 'Let's Get as Many Good Titles Out as Often as we Can' strategy? Also considering how good 'Tec was and (apparently) DD is.

EDIT: I should say, that Jock and Francavilla's styles aren't 'similar' but that they work well together, unlike attempting an interwoven Mahnke/Cooke story (though that would be interesting...). Also another time this worked was the JSA Eaglesham/Ross/Ordway run (although not the best JSA story every the art really worked that whole time).
