That's a shame, as I really liked his work. Basri, perhaps? Who was solicited as artist in march again?

**LoneNecromancer** · 12-11-2012, 06:39 AM

March is still solicited as Asrar.

Though yeah, Basri would be a good replacement. He filled in a couple issues ago on the title, right?

**Volkditty** · 12-11-2012, 06:42 AM

Man, that's a bummer. Getting Basri would make it a smooth transition, he was great filling in on #13.

**Desaad** · 12-11-2012, 06:52 AM

Yes he did fill in, and it was quite good.

It really isn't the end of the world, I just enjoyed his work.

**The Man From Room X** · 12-11-2012, 06:54 AM

Well, shit. It says that Asrar is drawing a 4-issue arc. Maybe after that he'll return to DC?

**B. Kuwanger** · 12-11-2012, 07:18 AM

I knew he would get called up. I was surprised he stayed on as long as he did, maybe he really liked the character, but he may have been slept on by DC. Hope the jump benefits him.

Welp, let's hold out for Basri.

Well according to Asrar himself he's not leaving Supergirl:

D'oh! Sorry urrbody!

I just assumed, but you know what they say...

**LoneNecromancer** · 12-11-2012, 07:30 AM

Yeah, looks like he's just doing one four-issue arc.

Hey, I was gonna make the thread myself. Interesting the way this will work for him but it's cool that he'll still be around.

**Sterling** · 12-11-2012, 07:33 AM

So Asrar is not only good, he's also ridiculously fast huh?

He is fast, but he's not THAT fast I don't think -- maybe it's because he's got someone else doing all the inking and coloring on his Marvel stuff or something?

I mean in the first year of Supergirl he still had to take, I think, two issues off? Three?

She said 'I did not leave batgirl', because she was forced off.

He said 'I'm still the ongoing artist of Supergirl', which is quite a bit different. :)

Actually he was only filled in once during the first year by George Perez who drew issue #8.

Until it's confirmed he's leaving I'll take his word for it.
