    Yeah the low quality was pretty much down to me. Ifanboy posted the solicits way before any of the usual sites (Newsarama, CBR, Bleeding Cool) and the image they posted was an issue. Phil, god bless him, posted the first decent image that became available.

    Driftwood: Well, I got about a foot and a half. Now, it says, uh, "The party of the second part shall be known in this contract as the party of the second part."
    Fiorello: Well, I don't know about that...
    Driftwood: Now what's the matter?
    Fiorello: I no like-a the second party, either.
    Driftwood: Well, you should've come to the first party. We didn't get home 'til around four in the morning... I was blind for three days!

    I didn't like the way he drew Sabretooth in X-Men Forever either though, so it's probably just a me thing.

    I do however really like Northstar's face. Very Byrne-esque.
    I agree, I don't like Sas' face in this at all. His Puck looks very Mignola-esque.

    'former'?

    It's a bit too cartoonish for me. Overall, he doesn't look like he's quite left the 90s behind...
    But that said, this cover really fails to suck. I could definitely get used to the guy as an artist on the title.

    Well, yah. Issue 6, to be precise.

    Also, not sure why this thread is marked spoiler sensitive?

    Interesting. I would have actually preferred this version then what we got.

    Tom Grummett did a great run on Teen Titans - picked up after Perez left, which can't be easy, and did it well.
    It's cool to see his take on our characters.
