So Pepe Larraz is doing a creator-owned book with Mark Millar.
Guess we won’t see him in the X-books again so soon
I think that’s part of why he bugs me. Not only do I find his stuff unappealing these days, but he also regularly snags the artists I’m really enjoying from Marvel too.
“Not as good as I once was… but I’m as good, once, as I ever was.”

Those preview pages by Federico Vicentini look damn good!
“Not as good as I once was… but I’m as good, once, as I ever was.”
Go get that (creator-owned) Netflix money, Pepe! Just come back to us when you're done!
Even before Netflix, Millar had the cash and long term prospects of multimedia adaptations to grab the best artists for his work. I dislike dislikable antiheroes, thus I dislike much of his work, and can't enjoy the great art.
I read his Magic Order volume 2 because of the Immonen art and positive reviews... and it was dark as expected but it ended mostly happily. I was pleasantly surprised. I know that's not typical of his work this volume at least was good.
