Awh man that's disappointing. I remember loving his Heroes Reborn run (from my bro's copies of the book) when he first debuted and when he did the art for X-treme X-men. I do remember random stuff from him like Iceman looking like Brad Pitt and thinking that was weird but not to this extent ADour - 2021-01-18 @ 5:52 pm

A lot of heavy hitters and only a handful I don't recognize. The only misfires seem to be Salvador Larroca and Greg Land, but the rest of the list is top-notch with people like Declan Shalvey, Valerio Schiti, Joe Bennett, Alex Ross, Steve Epting, Adam Huges, Javier Garrn, Chris Samnee, Pepe Larraz, Greg Smallwood, Mark Bagley, R.B. Silva, Iban Coello and Patrick Gleason. Wait...what's wrong with Salvador Larroca?
Damn! Good jump off point for Hasbro Legends to give us first appearance Cap, and indeed Original Human Torch. They could give us an entire Golden Age line up!

Of course I have been out of the comics collection since 2012 so I could be off my game a bit. Anyway if I was a betting man my money would be on Ross the boss. Ross is a fantastic artist, but once again he will probably be just doing a page

Maybe when I see their art I'll recognize them. I really wish Ron Garney or Ron Lim would have been on the list. That's exactly what I assume it'll be.
