Too bad. I hate to see him go.
But I can't believe that he chose Suicide Squad over Shadowman...Favorite books: X-O Manowar, Bloodshot, Harbinger, Archer & Armstrong, Shadowman, Green Lantern, Batman, Batman & Robin, Invincible, Uncanny Avengers, Avengers, Indestructible Hulk, and The Sixth Gun.

Sad to hear. I hope he continues to do some more incredibly amazing cover art for the various Valiant books!

That is interesting, but I'm sure he has his reasons.

I read both so i don't know how to feel about this. SQ needs a better artist, so that's a pro, cause this guy is quite good. On the other hand, Shadowman is pretty good so far and i hope the art can match it after he's gone

Neil Edwards is an awesome artist. Google his work on Herc and you'll see.

Everything I've seen since then has been downhill, Herc just seemed to get the best out of the artists on the book. Khoi Pham hasn't looked as good since his first arc on Herc either. I'm dropping Shadowman Originally Posted by Paul Nolan

It looks like Edwards is doing some fill in on #6 (preview here) along with Zircher and Garbett. After that is anyone's guess who will be on art duties as they haven't solicited past #6.
#0 in May is by De La Torre and Suyan, which should be dope. I am hoping De La Torre stays on as a regular artist for a while. His tone is much darker than Zircher, which is a better fit for the book. As someone said, Patch does great Superhero stuff and should be great on SS.
Zircher was doing the art of his life on the book, and it will not be easy to replace that, but I don't think we will see any drop off in the writing with Jordan still on board.Last edited by BugsySig; 03-19-2013 at 02:46 PM.

BugsySig,
While I appreciate your general comments about the art, to say that you know what it's like to work with me is... interesting, to say the least. I'm on good terms with Valiant and am still working with them. I also scripted more of issues 4 and 5 of Shadowman than the others-- so I don't know how you draw your conclusions.
Have a nice day and I hope you continue to enjoy Valiant comics.

You are absolutely right--I overstepped there based on the comments of others and I should know better. I apologize and I am glad to hear you will still be working with VALIANT. Originally Posted by Patrick Zircher
