is Irving going to be the new artist for uncanny x-men? or just a guest till Chris Bachalo comes back? I like Bachalo's art more than Irving's

its a fill in for the arc

@mcklayn:thanks!

I kinda wish he was the new artist though, I really dig the tone he brings to this book.. it's actually gorgeous.

i like the change

i like bachelo, but its like this with me

its either Bachelo all the time, or not bachelo at all. His style contrast all others so much, but it is appealing. I just hate when you reading a title and all of a sudden there is a giant contrast in art and there just really isn't anyone who is similar to bachelo to fill in for him and keep the same tone. (the All New X men were great with the fill in issue's i hardly noticed) so yea if they keeping Bachelo they need to stop the fill in shit lol

@mcklayn: I think I see what you mean. I'm a bit hot and cold with Bachalo, myself, but (because his style is so jarring) I'd rather he were the regular guy on a book than doing fill-ins on other books.

That said, I don't mind books changing artists so much, as long as they don't switch in the middle of an arc; that's really jarring. But if the next story is in another tone, or more fits with a different style of art (as seems to be the case with this), then it should change, to better suit the story.

I'm glad to see there are other Bachalo fans out there. I was beginning to think I was the only one.

I loved the art in the last issue... it was stunning! Bachalo can go to another series for awhile... His work on the X-Men during Rogue's leadership (Supernovas) was the only time I really loved his art... now it's just dated and confusing.

I just finished 005 of Uncanny X-Men, and damn that was some awesome artwork. I'm new to collecting, so I don't know who Bachalo is, but it sounds like he is a better artist the way you guys are talking, so I'll check em out. But props to Irving for those awesome scenes towards the end.

I really like his art on Cyclops.
