What happenned to Michael Janin

[gbshabo]

Such a great artist and he bailed after 1 issue. Any reason given for his swift departure. Perhaps he was unhappy with the scripts?

Nah, he was only slated to do two issues and that's what he did - he was never announced as the new ongoing artist moving forward.

I thought he was announced. Why else would we have a rotating pack of artists now rather than a regular artist on this title? I thought he only did one issue. Did he do two?

[Hypo]

If you look at the article announcing Tamaki taking over it's pretty clear that Janin would be doing 759+760, which is what he did, not that he was the new artist moving forward. For whatever reason the rotating artists seems to have been the plan from the beginning.

Plus if you look at this interview with Janin he seems pretty complimentary of Tamaki so I really don't think he was dissatisfied with the scripts and walked off the book.

I guess this is the part that threw me off as to him being the new artist:

Two issues isn't really a run.

One should always read marketing stuff with at least two grains of salt. Preferably more. The people writing copy or blurbs are often far from the decisions.
