I was expecting some Granov art...Puá! I hate Alan Davis' art.
I am certain that this mini has multiple artists per issue. So I am fairly confident there will still be Adi Granov art in this mini; probably in the first issue because he was solicited as an artist for ASXM: GB #1. So don't sweat it, he probably just did the steam punk X-men world. _________________ "Nazis? Do I look like a failed artist with a neurotic grudge against his father and the world?

Hey Richard_d_cook, nice to see you on the X-boards, love you on the FF boards! Anyway the mini is to allow Simone Bianchi (the artist) time to get back on track for the main series. Bianchi takes 6-8 weeks to complete a layout for each ASXM comic. He usually works on solo titles and chose to work on ASXM to get experience with team books and to work with Warren Ellis. The ASXM: GB mini is to keep the shelf space for the title while still developing the story. Warren Ellis is writing both GB issues and he usually adds meat to his side stories. _________________ "Nazis? Do I look like a failed artist with a neurotic grudge against his father and the world?

Pity. As much as I like Crain's work Olivier Coipel does some beautiful stuff.

Agreed, brianhalpin. I looked up Crain's work, it is unique and interesting, but I much prefer Olivier Coipel's art. His women are drawn so great. I love his art, best part of House of M. _________________ "Nazis? Do I look like a failed artist with a neurotic grudge against his father and the world? I am a force of nature, boy. I am Magneto."

16 pages for $4, and it's a TWO part mini series, couldve been done in a one shot, or in the title that the story is already taking place in. Thanks
