The idea of Pope working with Morrison seems strangely right, doesn't it?
I love the fact that X-Force/X-Statix always has great fill in artists. Unlike New X-Men it's always a nice surpise when the main artist doesn't draw the book.
Haven't seen any preview art (aside from the stuff from that 'X-Fan' link), but #5 is supposed to be out today, as is the newest issue of 100%. So lots of Paul Pope-y goodness this week.
Out of interest, Outvix, where do you get yr info from? X Statics wasn't previewed on comicscontinuum or popcultureshock.... You don't still trust the awful, buggered shipping dates at the Marvel site, do you?
