Colorists and Rotating Art Teams

With the accelerated shipping schedule of Dawn of X, rotating art teams are a guarantee for these new X-Books.

The more normal approach to rotating art teams is that the [I]entire[/I] art team rotates. Pencillers get paired with their usual inkers and their usual colorists. Other series, such as [URL="https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Uncanny_X-Force_Vol_1"]Uncanny X-Force[/URL], make an effort to have the same colorist work on all pencils; and when that wasn't strictly possible, effort was made to have the fill-in colorists match up with the established style.

A good example of an artist that tends to be in the former camp is upcoming [I]X-Men[/I] artist Leinel Yu. Almost universally, when Yu joins a book, his work is colored by Sunny Gho. When Yu leaves or takes an issue off, so does Gho.

[I]House of X[/I] and [I]Powers of X[/I], meanwhile, shared a colorist team between two different pencillers.

What approach do you prefer?

I dont notice a difference

I can't imagine reading comics and not noticing a difference in colorists when there's no effort made to co-ordinate palettes and styles.

I really like when the artist changes but the colorist it's still the same so it still kinda feels like the same even if the characters are drawn a bit differently. Like the current Runaways, the artist transition was so smooth and a big part of that was thanks to them keeping the colorist.

I actually don't mind if some of the titles have rotating artist. We know X-Men is having like 3 different artist in the first 6 issues.

Same here.

There have actually been some fill-in colorists on Runaways, but they've done a great job of matching Matt Wilson's palette.
