This sounds great. Waid's certainly been hinting about this for long enough. I'm glad that we're finally getting some info on who's drawing it. Hitch is a bit hit or miss for me. Hopefully, this will be more hit.

Me, too. It's like he has two modes, one which is epic in scale with phenomenal detail and pitch-prefect scaling, and the other has messy details (fudged to look detailed but actually just meaningless lines) weird faces and and overall slightly muddled unfinished look.

I'll definitely pick this up, even though I'm not really a fan of Waid's vision of Superman."Has Sariel summoned you here, Azrael? Have you come to witness the miracle of your brethren arriving on Earth?"
"I WILL MIX THE ASHES OF YOUR BONES WITH SALT AND USE THEM TO ENSURE THE EARTH THE TEMPLARS TILLED NEVER BEARS FRUIT AGAIN!"
"*sigh* I hoped it was for the miracle."
Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!

Looks like Hitch is a very busy man these days.

Wonder if this will be a Birthright follow up/Year Two type thing, or something else entirely? Either way, pretty exciting!
By the look of the released sketch, it looks like its the more polished version of Hitch...

His short story in "The Last Stories of the DC Universe" was pretty good, nothing extraordinary but a very well done execution of the premise of "Plant a tree even if the world is ending around you" (plus some "real heroes" panel that actually worked), his Mxyzptlk story in "Superman Red & Blue" was a thoroughly unfunny attempt at comedy where Superman couldn't even properly be a trickster without being preachy (and some very generic preaching at that). So, hopefully this goes for that epic feel and stays away from overt comedy.
