It's funny... but anytime I see Kang now, the first thing that pops in my head is that it's Cassie Langs ex.

Anyways, it's always fun to see stories where Kang is a "goodguy." Gives me an Avengers Forever vibe.

I'm still SO jealous I didn't get to draw this one. Oh, well. Wes kicked ass on it. This issue is gonna punch people in the face. It tops issue 17. Mark my words!

The concluding few pages of 17 were outstanding. Keep up the good work.

Love Wes Craig's art. I've really warmed to it. I know it's not to everybody's taste, but I'd rather see quirky art with an individual look and style than badly done photorealistic work. Luckily, this title has had two great artists drawing the two subplots. Bet you really are jealous Craig got to draw the reunion issues, Brad Walker! That said, Brad, the work you did on issue 17 kicked major ass!!

Guess you just joined to be positive, huh? Perhaps you need to buy more copies, help it out. Not sure it helps to be hyping a hypothetical demise...

It will always be a must read for me as long as DnA are writing it but the the art just isn't my thing. Hurry back Brad and please stay.

Even though I don't drool over Wes's art as much as yours, Brad, I appreciate the guy for the offbeat talent he is. I think you guys are a good mix for the book. :smile:

So what is Magus doing? Merging all "futures" into his?

So what is Magus doing? Merging all "futures" into his?That's what Kang's saying.

Of course, he's notoriously unreliable.

I am going to keep sticking with this book for the long haul. But I am underwhelmed by the art. I actually like Wes Craig's art better from the issues he did with Phyla and Drax searching for Moondragon. But it seems to have changed slightly and now I'm not enjoying it. Was there a different colorist or inker on those issues or something?

I agree with that Mightness. I actully didn't mind it at all in the Drax/Phyla story, but god how I have hated it with the current Guardians story. Its like he went out of his way to be very different, and the results have been aweful. Either that or this is he real style the Drax/Phyla issue are the exception. If he had stayed with the first style I would not have had any problem with his last few issues.

As it is I will just be happy to been done with Craig for a while when this arc is over.

I'll agree, too. The Phylla story was reminicent of those really wild Mar-Vell stories from the 70's and the strange art style worked for the nightmare kind of setting. Here I am not feeling it, but Brad Walker's back next issue so all will be wonderful again.

edited: Followed the newsarama link.. I think Walker actually got BETTER!

I think that both of them are getting better with every issue.

Wow. I didn't even realize it was him back then. Yes something definitely has changed then as I didn't find the art so unbearable then.

I can not wait for you to come back...This is my favorite book, and the style Wes uses is not my cup of tea.

Easy now... I know he's not to everyone's taste, but perhaps wait for the printed copy to judge Wes Craig's work? I've found that the lower resolution preview files don't do his work justice. But I do like his style, and so I may be biased.
is it just me

Loving everything DnA are doing with the Cosmic side of things . You can feel that they have a love for the material. Guardians is a must read for me, cannot wait for this!
