Dekapot Mass already linked this in another thread, but this is well worth quoting here, courtesy of Newsarama:
- When asked about the artist rotation on New X-Men, editor Mike Marts said that writer Grant Morrison is substantially ahead on plotting, and editorially, the books will be structured so writers will handle specific story arcs, rather than individual issues. Marts confirmed that Ethan Van Sciver and Frank Quitely will remain as two of the artists on New X-Men, and added that Phil Jimenez will be illustrating New X-Men #132. Marts said that Marvel and Jimenez are in talks about him playing a larger role on the art chores of the book. The publishing plan, in terms of numbers of issues per year, of New X-Men is still being discussed, according to Marts.
When Newsarama.com spoke with Morrison recently, the writer alluded that the series may be ramping up in terms of frequency, saying: “I've written six issues in the last two months and found it very easy and enjoyable. I seem to be discovering new energy reserves in my alien solar cells which allow me to do everything and I think what we're seeing here is a kind of comics Darwinism picking off the more vulnerable and less prolific animals at the outskirts of the herd. Gentle, lumbering herbivores, like Mark Millar, who can only handle two books a month will now be forced into a strict Bendis-based regime of high-protein breakfasts, power typing and script pumping just to survive. Any foolhardy creator unwilling to rise to these challenges of the 21st century will be undoubtedly picked off by merciless market forces.”
- Ethan Van Sciver said that the X-Men Icons: Phoenix miniseries has been postponed. Tom Peyer is still attached as the writer, and Marvel may seek out a new artist if Van Sciver cannot fit it into his schedule.
I think it's probably safe to assume that after the upcoming 3-issue storyline, we've seen the last of Igor Kordey on New X-Men. Yes! |
