Intersting, if people really were only sticking with AHM because it was a conclusion/continuation of all that came before then his new mini should bomb if its mostly an isolated story.
Or are TF fans real suckers.

TF fans are real suckers and they will still buy it.
Can't wait to see what pish he will inflict on us now.

No, I think it is more that people are easily seduced by pretty art. Heck, I liked the first few issues of the Dreamwave first mini before I realised the story was utter tosh.
Yes, yes, Pat lee, I know...

Then our only hope is to replace the artist with someone who is either rubbish or has a less easily-accessible style...

They should get Chris Cross to do the art - i didnt like his art when he started doing X-Man & then Slingers.

I love his style. Unfortunately, he can't do a monthly gig.

I wasnt keen on his work - only seen it in those 2 titles when he started out. He might have changed his style- but not looked. But both these comics where both monthly books which he was keeping up with - so might explain the art style seeing that above posts state he now can't do monthly.

He's notorius for it. He's on a 6-issue mini for DC right now, Dance, but of the 5 issues out so far , 2 have required fill-in art. He was away from US comics for a while after he crashed and burned on a DC title the name of which escapes me right now.

He moved on to Captain Marvel Vols 3 and 4, Firestorm for a bit and some issues of JLA.

Ah, Firestorm! That was it! Did he not have some kind of blow-out? I remember him apologising online to editors, etc that he had pissed off.

Yeah, he went a bit sour cos they misled him over who was going to be inking him on the book.

I have to admit that at this point in time, having read a couple of issues of All Hail Megatron before I dropped TFUK, I'm not sure that it matters to me who draws the series - the presence of Shane McCarthy as a writer makes me distinctly unenthused about it.

Karl I'm only getting AHM (still need coda) because I collect all Transformers books, btw why the hell are they putting Spotlight TPB Volume 5 as AHM?!?! How dare they! |

No, the Spotlight thing is finished for the foreseeable future.
As for McCarthy - pfft. Probably be some crap about Daft and his Magical Third Eye Faction.

I havent read the most recent spotlights or coda, or whta has been announced about the newer stuff, is there a new faction or something else that is clearly fan-fic-ish? |

It's another Shane McCarthy 'epic'. I think I might steer well clear of that one.
