The ongoing war between Marvel and DC continues, as it was announced today that artist Ron Garney has gone exclusive to DC for two years. Garney last worked on Uncanny X-Men for Marvel and his first assignment for DC will be a JLA arc.
Now, everyone knows I’m a serious fan of Ron Garney — have been for years. I have to say, Marvel really dropped the ball on this guy. He could have been a John Byrne level talent on his run of Uncanny X-Men, but inconsistent writing and their need to push a new Japanese artist — who was absolutely terrible, by the way — and now there’s no chance of an extended run on my favorite book.
Good thing I buy JLA, so I can get my taste of Garney’s clean lines and smooth pencils.
