Jim Lee is hit or miss with me. He has a formulaic way of constructing his figures. He still, after all these years, doesn't draw a torso correctly. I've also noticed that when faces are drawn in profile, they have block jaws that run horizontally. While, when he draws faces straight-on, the jawlines angle downward as they should.

Still, I can't help but like the cinematic way he draws superheroes. His style is becoming a bit too cliche' for my taste. I wish he would give his Deathblow style another try (And someone tell Frank Miller to lay off him this time. No, you didn't invent that style, Frank!).

I read through the grapevine that Lobdell wouldn't give Charest a full script, which Charest reportedly pleaded for. Lobdell wanted to do it 'Marvel style', and what he got was a giant transforming tank.

Charest got the boot on the Metabarons thing, because he was too slow even for the French publisher. I read his output was ridiculouls--someting like 27 pages in several years. The OGN will include Charest's pages, but Humanoids got someone else to finish it.
