Actually, a complete disagreement in here. K/Y made me care even about characters I don't even like because their voices are spot on and feel real. Unlike Hickman whose voices are just mouthpieces to deliver ideas and plot (for the most part). For example, a page where Hope lies near Cable's arm in the end of SC, which all that left from his disintegrated body, is by far stronger than anything I've seen from Hick that concerns emotional punch. And I'm not even a hardcore fan of the characters.
