UPDATE: New Marvel NOW! CAPTAIN AMERICA And FANTASTIC FOUR Creative Teams Revealed

Well looks I'm dropping Cap, they just had to put Jr on the book. No amount of good writing is worth sitting through Jr art.

WTF JR on Cap
you kidding me

man Remender is great but why JR
they just ruined cap for me

romita jr was good in the 80s when penciled uncanny x-men & daredevil.

I don't get the Romita Jr hate. I thought he did very well on Spider-Man.

Definitely dropping Cap as long as Romita Jr. is on art duties.

@Dynamo neither do i i love most of his work especially his spider-man run and the man without fear

@intruder- Agree my friend, agree. JR has the talent but he uses a quicker much less detailed style to meet deadlines. And he does meet deadlines, that's why he and Bagley are go to guys for Marvel. Unfortunately, the comics suffer for it.

The artwork nor writing enhances one or the other. They enhance each other. If either is off the book suffers.

Guess I am the only one that likes Romita Jr. here. I think his unique style is visually appealing. I really can't stand cookie cutter art anymore. The longer I read comics the more I look for something different. Romita satisfies some of that different craving...

I like JRJR art, I have no problem with it.

@intruder- we may have to disagree there my friend. Comics are a visual medium first and literary one second. When I go to the Comic store and see people flipping through books, they are checking out the artwork. Why...because the visuals sell the books.image comics was founded on this principle. All these Great artist left Marvel and created their own characters. None of them could write worth a damn though, and the books still sold like gang busters. And you can have the most beautifully written story but if the art is shit, no one picks it up. I'm a fan of Mike Dedota(?) art. Love his Secret Avengers stuff. But there are some issues that are drawn by a artist whose work I can't bare. I skip those issues. Hickman is the only writer I'll look past the art for. To me, comics are all about the artwork, I don't by them for the writer or follow the writers. There have been wonderful stories told in comics with artwork alone, no words. Try and sell a comic with words alone, no artwork.( that would be a novel). And we've all seen those comics that are ruined by word balloons and exposition squares all over the place. A great comic writer lets the art tell the story. Remember, how to create comics the Marvel Way, Stan Lee would would write a simple plot outline and let Kirby and Ditko COMPLETE the full story visually and he's add dialogue balloons to the artist vision of the story. That's why Lee doesn't take full credit, he knows comics are a visual medium,the artwork is what sells comics not the writer. A kid not old enough to read will ask his parents for a comic based on the cover alone. DC and Marvel will try and trick you into buying a book by having a great artist do the cover and a subpar artist, who may be fast do the inside( it's the comic book version of [frick]ing you at the drive through that joe Pesci rants with Chris Rock about in Lethal weapon). That's why you see people flipping through comics quickly, they want to make sure the cover artist did the inside art. They don't won't to get home and find out they got [frick]ed because they quickly picked up a book based on cover art alone, and the inside art was shit. So to me, the artwork is the doorway, the writing secondary. I won't read Alan Moore,Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman or any other great writers comic work, if the art is shit. I can't stand a badly drawn comic. It defeats the purpose of comic books.

I'd rather look at mediocre JRJR art than Greg Land's pornfaces.

@Intruder, Agree with you on your Image point, Man...did the writing suck. Remember how they had to get Alan Moore and others to try and clean that shit up. I'm an artist so art over writing every time. A nice balance between the two is awesome. But when all else fails, I pick art over story. Exception Hickman's run on the FF was awesome. His ideas mind blowing, for that I put up with shitty art. I hope you're right and Remender brings out the best in JR.

Too bad we might not see Uncanny X-Men for awhile. :(

U guys want museaum level art...its a COMIC book...JRJr's work is perfect for his medium

I'm interested to see Fraction's work on Fantastic Four. I was just hoping to see Larocca come with him. Bagley's stuff was aces on Ultimate Spider Man but I hated his JLA stuff and I ain't too keen on his Avengers assemble work either. But maybe he'll surprise me.

Not a fan of JRJR's artwork too.

Don't like how he draws people's faces esp with those weird cheekbones.

It's getting better, I guess but still...

FRACTION + ALLRED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fraction on FF? I usually wouldn't mind that but seeing as they're taking after Hickman, I'm sure the qualities gonna go downhill.

@Jordanstine- good lord whats wrong with Spiderwoman's face?
