I wish Darwyn Cooke was drawing this.

Oh man, so do I. Noto's no slouch, though.

So this is like EMH limited series, but only for the first issue.

I don't honestly see how this is going to be any different from EMH, but why not.

I am the biggest Cooke fan...and that would be great...but that being said, Phil Noto is an awesome choice for this. The series is prob not needed, but I will be picking it up anyways. Casey and Noto should make for a great team.

Noto good too.

What was Casey's previous Earth's Mightiest Heroes about anyway? Didn't this guy also do X-Men: Children of the Atom, a similar conept? (are either of these good btw?)

I enjoyed the first run of EMH, but once they got to the second series with Yellowjacket, and tried to reconcile Roy Thomas' awful plotting with what happened (They LET Hank act like a crazy person? Seriously? That's their response to him having a split personality? Ok.) in the original miniseries....I just wasn't interested.

And Jasper Sitwell was never that much of a jerk, even back then.

I actually thought that explanation of the story was SLIGHTLY more sensible than the original.

It was - but still crazy. I'd rather see a retcon where somehow Pym altered his appearance and voice and Jan decided to play along because she's Janet, and she actually has/had a ton of compassion for Hank before he turned into the size-changing %$#hole.

I don't blame Casey for it though. I blame Roy the Boy.
