Remender is already down that path - remember the 'Legion of the Supernatural' that he was gonna do .. no dice. I remember him also saying that 'Last Days' was so delayed so all the art could get finished. It's been what, three months since issue #1. I love Rick's work, he's inventive and knows how to tell great stories. Unless it's a monthly Marvel book, I will now only by his stuff in trade.
(Hickman's another one - don't get me started on Red Mass for Mars .... grrr!)
I gotta say the amazing thing about this issue is how much Hickman crammed into a single issue. In the age of 6-part events and deconstructed story telling Hickman puts an events worth of an alternate reality war into 32 pages.
If Bendis or Millar was telling this story Ben and Johnny wouldn't have even shown up on Nu-Earth until the end of the comic. Hickman establishes feel, plot and character in one tight bunch. This actually feels more like Stan and Jack than the first three issues.
