Not to fond of the art, especially for a superhero book.

I'll definitely be jumping on a 9. I had wanted to try it out earlier but Emma Rios didn't really do it for me.

Plus, Dinosaurs!

Not to fond of the art, especially for a superhero book.

Agreed I'd rather have Dexter Soy doing it but hopefully the story will make up for the art.

[sparticus]

Gorgeous. May pick up just on basis of the art.

Hmmm. So another fill in artist drawing Carol with her old hair, again.

Don't get me wrong this actually looks a lot better than the last fill-in guy (Although a bit quirky and European for a Superhero book, I agree), but switching styles left right and centre as they are is really not doing this title any favours...

If you don't have a team who can handle double-shipping each month, then maybe you should consider NOT double shipping it?

This book doesn't double ship... Or didn't. If it does now that's good news to me.

I have to say, it's great that it looks like this book will get a full year. I had my doubts when they released the first preview pages, but the book seems to have some kind of audience.

So, no. Not every month. But it does explain the fill in art. Personally I'd prefer the book came out once a month, or every 6 weeks, but kept the art quality up. It is crucial to this redesign of the character. The fill in artists aren't getting it.

I'll be picking this up just because of the art, it looks like a neat new style
...
...
that and the fact that they were going on a date XD

[OctoberDaniels]

I'm picking this up just -for- the art. The last artist felt too muddled for me...I couldn't tell one character from another. This one's distinctive.

[Lady_Alternate]

Looks brilliant. Loving it to bits.

Plus, bonus Chewie is always welcome.

[Gailim]

Hmmm. So another fill in artist drawing Carol with her old hair, again.

her old hair needs to become her new hair. and she needs to never wear that awful red mask ever again (Carol Danvers has no need for a mask)

[The Sword Is Drawn]

In your opinion...

I love the redesign, and dislike anybody trying to cast it aside so early.

[Vic Vega]

Not bad, I like this better than Emma Rio.

But, all these constant art changes can't be good for the book's long term prospects.

They would have been better served trying to get Terry Dogdeson on the book for at least the first year.
