Replying to some replies I missed.

You honestly don't dig Kuhn's work? His Firebreather series with Phil Hester was one of my favorite minis from Image's failed superhero relaunch thing. Last I heard, Firebreather is coming back next year as an ongoing. I look forward to it.

And while I didn't see his art in Blue Beetle this week, the art style I have seen him do is a Mignola-esque one. It's good.

I never read his FIREBREATHER. I know that character was part of The Pact, though.

Kuhn to me seems weakest drawing regular people but better with creatures, superheroes, armor types, etc. I didn't care for his MTU work, but that was coming off runs from Paco Medina, Kolins, and others. I liked his BLUE BEETLE issue better.

Not a Bendis bash in sight!

Anyway I could not agree more Dread. The only good coming out of this event turd is 3 issues from Slott, but even that's every 4 months I think.

Least it is extra time for the artist/colorist/inker to get the issues done on time.

ONE MORE DAY has many problems, but the key one is that it isn't about a story, but about an editorial agenda (and a misguided one) trying to be a story, which almost always stink.

Firebreather was great, dude. It was on par with Invincible in being one of the best superhero comics around. There's a new ongoing starting early next year. You should look into it.
