Good for him. His time really was wasted at Marvel in my opinion. No big crossovers, a handful of lead-in issues, a few covers, Astonishing.... I also think his style fits DC better.

It's cool to see what Night Girl is going to be doing.

And I agree, because of George Perez's heavy influence on Phil's style, he is a better fit for DC. And with the way Phil is adding "Giffen Legion" elements to his designs, this is going to be a legendary run.

Hot damn. His Duo Damsel in a recent issue of Adventure was STUNNING. Phil Jimenez just GETS good costuming. I love this.

I actually believe that Phil has largely outgrown (and surpassed?) his Perez influences. When you compared their most recent work, side-by-side, I think you can see a distinct difference.

Which book do you think he should draw after his Adventure arc is over?
I think he'd be the perfect artist for JLA, but the title needs a better writer and cast first.

Is he only doing one arc in Adventure?

By the way theyre talking I think hes gonna be on this book for a long run... and nah JLA needs to be Geoff Johns & Jim Lee already...

Phil is amazing, sometimes his characters look harsh, but I love that as well. His new gay legion guy is sooooo hot!

I don't know man. The Source was pretty clear:

Phil will be drawing and co-plotting an arc of ADVENTURE COMICS starring the “Legion Academy”

Personally, I'd like to see Jimenez do a Earth 1 book. Wonder Woman if he still has things to say about Diana or maybe the Flash.

We will never see Jim Lee do a regular art gig again. Why does he need to?

I am terribly excited for this. I love (am in love with) Phil J. I picked up that rediculous and stupid AXM arc by that writer only for Phil's delicious artwork.

Love the redesign of Nightwind, i hope that Jimenez stays at least 6-8 numbers

So did I. His Emma and Storm were wonderful. Too bad about the script.
