So basically it's Loeb, but with a better vocabulary.
I'm really tired of Millar's schtick. It is a shame he works with such good artists. I think a lot of his artists are great, but they are still over-rated.
Nice work, Millar! You sure are breaking new ground by having villains team up!

I don't want to sideline the thread, but yeah, I think they are over rated, especially compared to someone like Mahnke. Mahnke is timely and awesome, and gets no respect. I mean Hitch and McNiven are good, but their timeliness leaves a lot to be desired. Compared to Mahnke and a ton of other dudes, Hitch and McNiven are over-rated.
Does he do his own colors? because the colors in those previews are really good.
Also, his stuff looks familiar. Is he the Walking Dead guy?
Yeah, he does Walking Dead. He was an alternating artist with the criminally under-rated (although his prominence should start rising with Marvel work) Opena. page 3 of this GR preview says Dave McCaig colors it.

Hitch is without question (to me at least). I prefer the original Alan Davis.
McNiven has good art, but it seems he's gotten slower and slower as his profile has gotten higher and higher. And it doesn't look to have any noticeable difference to me.
I do think McNiven's colorist deserves a lot of credit, because he or she adds more to the work than is originally there. Much like Mike Choi's art is completely flat with Oback's colors.

Things like that make me wonder what the hell goes on at DC.
It's good creative team, yet DC is just assuming people like Magog enough to have an ongoing.
With the back up stories in books these days, wouldn't it be better to try him out there, or a mini at the most?
He had a good role in Brave and the Bold, but one issue does not a character make.

You know how DC has seemed to latch onto all the worst aspects of 90's comics and built their entire line around them? Well, Magog is terrible 90's comics personified, so of course he's getting his own series.
I just hope he fights Lobo, because that would me meta as shit.

From Wikipedia:
Magog's character design was based on superhero design trends of the time, principally the Marvel Comics anti-hero character Cable, and Cable's creator Rob Liefeld himself. Alex Ross stated, "As I remember, Mark originally told me, 'Make him look like everything we hate in modern superhero design.'"[2] Ross has gone into more detail in an interview with Comic Book Resources:
“ That's a character that Mark Waid invented that was really just put to me like come up with the most God awful, Rob Liefeld sort of design that you can. What I was stealing from was - really only two key designs of Rob's - the design of Cable. I hated it. I felt like it looked like they just threw up everything on the character - the scars, the thing going on with his eye, the arm, and what's with all the guns? But the thing is, when I put those elements together with the helmet of Shatterstar -- I think that was his name -- well, the ram horns and the gold, suddenly it held together as one of the designs that I felt happiest with in the entire series.[3]

to be fair they've teamed up before, in the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acts_of_Vengeance[/url]acts of vengeance[/url] storyline. of course, that ended with magneto betraying the red skull and burying him alive.
acts of vengeance, incidentally, is basically the exact same story as old man logan's backstory except the bad guys lose.
AoA Blink is the only Blink of consequence,

mcniven overrated? hitch? come on.
I guess Tony Moore has been on Ghost Rider for a few issues. How is it?
Also, his stuff looks familiar. Is he the Walking Dead guy?
Also, I like Mahnke after seeing his work in Final Crisis.
Yeah, he does Walking Dead. He was an alternating artist with the criminally under-rated (although his prominence should start rising with Marvel work) Opena.

also, double contraction... my english needs improvement.

Looks like Chaykin's story will be topical and probably heavy-handed. Of course this is a guy who called a kid a "pissant" at a convention.
Those Waid issues are really, really good without being preachy at all.

I don't see Cap in there.
That was my point.
That's what I hope, at least.

He doesn't gamble. He wins.
He's in there somewhere lecturing all the other...spirits?
Uh.
