Ryan Sook???

[Polaris437]

Does anyone know if Ryan Sook will be continuing his cover art on X-Factor, or if he's illustrating the title for more than #8? If not, will he be on another X-title? I really like his work and wish he could stay on X-Factor. He got me hooked on the title and as soon as he started, he left. :(

Search is your friend. But yes, Sook is off the book. He left because he felt he was too slow for a monthly book. He will be continuing to do the covers though, according to Peter David. :)
SOOK SAYS "SO LONG" TO X-FACTOR

According to a post on writer Peter David's log on Saturday, February 4th, artist Ryan Sook has voluntarily left his position as regular penciler of Marvel's X-Factor ongoing series, written by David.

"Issue #4 of X-FACTOR will be Ryan's last," writes David. "This is entirely his decision. Andy [editor Andy Schimdt] and I would love for him to stay on, and Ryan reportedly loves the book, but he has taken himself off it because--I presume, since I haven't spoken to him--the monthly schedule is just too problematic for him. He is, however, going to be continuing doing the covers.

"Dennis Calero, who I think is doing an excellent job, will be doing issues 5 and 6, and Ariel Olivetti is doing issue 7 (the one that addresses the death of Banshee.) An announcement of an artist beyond that point would be premature, although Andy is considering several possibilities, all of whom I believe would be great for the series.

"As for Ryan, it was far too short an association for my taste, and I'm certainly hoping to work with him again."

Look for more on details on the creative future of X-Factor when they are available.
