    Anyone else think they should get him over to a Superman title? I've always liked his work and looking at it on the current Flash stuff makes me love it even more - I would love to see that same style in any of the Superman titles. Nothing against Jim Lee or any of the other artists (okay, not really a fan of what Jae Lee is doing on Batman/Superman), I just love the way he does things...

    Apparently Jae Lee is leaving B/S after this arc? He isn't on the Oct/Nov solicits so there's good news for you..

    But I love KenRoc's art on Superman, I think it makes the story so much better and more enjoyable. He should stay on there .... forever.

    I wouldn't mind seeing Francis on Action Comics or Superman, though, it would be a cool change. He should do which ever book Ken isn't doing :P

    Manapul would actually be a good switch on B/S as his painted/natural type style sort of takes what Jae Lee is doing but does it better (IMO), plus he's done a Superman/Batman series before, so he gets to show off on both characters again (and I'd love to see how he would do Darkseid). I agree to keep Rocafort on either Action or Superman, and I'd keep Jim Lee on Unchained forever if I could. Not sure who I'd stick on Superman/Action along with Rocafort though - maybe Michael Turner - although his style doesn't really match in with the other New52 look of Supe's done by the others - I'm sure he could still do an amazing job though.

    I'd absolutely love it. His short stint on Superman/Batman and Adventure Comics was enough to convince me he'd be brilliant at it. His Flash work is just damn beautiful

    I'd prefer it if he remained on Flash. I love Superman but his Flash art and co-writing are too good to get rid of.

    @lvenger: Manapul is one of my favourite artists in DC but I think he's too locked up with Flash to add any of his illustrative duties to another title as he's handling both writing and sharing art duty with Brian. I would LOVE if he worked on Action Comics or Batman/Superman (again). That is one of my single favourite covers.

    @deranged_midget: I know, just talking about hypotheticals. I prefer him on Flash anyway.

    Yeah, his colourful and explosive style fits Flash perfectly.

    Well...maybe for Batman/Superman his style fits Flash.
