When Venditti took over the book, there was just something about the announcement that made me think "This isn't meant to be a long term thing." Now, after just eight issues and two arcs, he's off the book, replaced by someone I've never heard of.
What I find interesting is that this new arc will run through the all-important 50th anniversary issue. Once again, my gut is saying "Odd." I think we'll see one of two things...A) #50 will have to stories in it...the final chapter of the story that starts in #48, plus the first part of the story from whoever is taking over with #51, or B) the book will be ending with #50, and we'll be getting a new #1 relaunched in a few months.
Thoughts?
