I was first introduced to Mike Norton's work from his work on the Image issues of The Badger. Shortly after that, I met him at a convention and we've been friends ever since. We don't see each other as often any more, but I love the growth that his career has taken over the decade that I have known of him. I believe I met him right around the time he started working with Sean McKeever on the Waiting Place as I remember him introducing me to McKeever and Jason Alexander at the Mid Ohio Con the same year I met him. It's always a treat to see McKeever and Norton working together on a project. Even better when it's project at Marvel or DC.  

 

Jimmy Cheung's art is what brought me to this title, but it's Heinberg's story about the twins and Scarlet Witch that keeps me coming back. I was a big fan of the West coast Avengers during the run by John Byrne where the true nature of Scarlet Witch's twins was revealed.

I'm a fan of Brubaker's run on Cap. It's has me reading Cap for the first time since Waid and Kubert. I like Chris Samnee's art. I'm sold on this new direction and look forward to the collected edition because it won't have this ugly McGuinness cover.

 

I was a fan of CrossGen and especially Marz and Chueng on Scion. When Disney purchased Marvel, I looked forward to the return of CrossGen. However, the execution overall has been underwhelming. The covers held promise, but the interiors have been weak. Marvel is not giving these projects the treatment needed to relaunch the concepts even when they brought the original creators back to the books (Ruse). I'll pass until I see a Scion book with Marz and Cheung.
