Marvel Artists You'd Like to See on a NOW Book

[BrotherUnitNo_4]

Checchetto, Coipel, Maleev, and Eaglesham are all painfully absent right now. Also, now that he's off Winter Soldier, it'd be nice to know where Butch Guice is ending up. I think Pasqual Ferry is without a book too. Gabriel Hardman has also been MIA since he left Secret Avengers, never to return. I was going to mention Michael Lark too, but I think Lazarus, his creator-owned book with Rucka, is going to be an ongoing.

Not too big on Maleev, but the Coipel, Eaglesham and Chechetto are definite questions. I know Chechetto had to step back for personal reasons, but I hope Marvel can get him back on something when his schedule opens up. Eaglesham just turned in a great closing arc to Parker's Hulk and then he's nowhere to be found in Marvel NOW. If I had to choose, I think I would have slotted him in on Remender's Cap over JRJr. Ferry would be great as backup on GotG. While his style doesn't exactly mesh with McNiven's, Ferry does cosmic with style. Better yet, put him on Iron Man and take out Land. Then bring in Pepe Larraz as his backup again.

Hardman I think is doing one of the Planet of the Apes books at IDW (?) last time I checked.

Marvel definitely has a few questionable artistic choices in Marvel NOW, imo.

Ah, thanks for the info on Hardman.

Brevroot said on Formspring that Guice had some upcoming Marvel work. YES!

I miss seeing Brad Walker on a regular Marvel book.

He was great on Villains for Hire.

Heads up on some of these:

Patrick Zircher is the artist and co-writer of Valiant's Shadowman - don't see that changing anytime soon.

And Michael Lark is penciling Lazarus over at Image - a creator owned collaboration with Rucka, and again I don't see that changing any time soon either.
