What exactly did Jimenez do at Marvel in three years besides a 5-issue stint on Astonishing X-Men and some covers?

Think he did a couple of issues of ASM at the start of BND too.

Yeah, you're right. He did that, too. Still though, for 36 months, 8 issues of work doesn't seem like too much.

I still haven't heard anything about why his Astonishing run suffered from so many delays. Originally Posted by tridon

Are you serious? Have you never read anything by Ellis monthly? Originally Posted by paulski

Add in the fact that Jimenez himself isn't a speedy artist (look at Infinite Crisis) and it makes a fair degree of sense.

No, I realise all of that. But considering there was a 6 month delay between #33 and #34, I just wanted some kind of explanation from Marvel as to why it was so bad. Wishful thinking, I suppose.

I love Phil he works his ass off and you can tell !
He also loves bronze age comics and is not ashamed of it atn all which is refreshing.
I hope he finds himself gainfully employed at DC !

With Phil back doing work for DC again, maybe he can finish Otherworld now! :)

Phil Jimenez at Marvel never felt right. His passion is for the DC characters. He's just one of those creators associated with one company and that company is DC.

Well, good for him.
Exclusivity does suck sometimes (see Cornell to DC), and really his stuff does seem to fit better with DC characters. I am intrigued as to what he's doing with Alpha Flight though.
